I stayed here for several nights. Granted we didn't spend too much time in the hotel, it was a great experience. I reccomend upgrading to the Executive Floors if you can. more

we live in Chicago, but wanted a weekend to just "getaway", and ive always wanted to stay at The Drake, so he called and booked a weekend there a week before we went.
