We had a good experience at the Drake. We got a good deal on Priceline but still got a newly updated room with 2 beds as we wanted. The place is still old (doors, carpet) but all have character. The lobby is gorgeous. We did not eat/drink there but there was a beautiful bar. Our only really bad experience was... more

For another $25, we splurged for the larger room when we checked in. We dropped our things and went to eat/shop. After a long walk and fighting the crowds on Michigan Ave., we returned to the room just wanting to nap. No kids for the weekend, so just pure quiet and personal freedom. Unfortunately, when we returned to the room,... more

We could not have had a better time at the Drake. It is obvious that we were in one of the recently refurbished rooms because it was perfect in every way. The room looked out onto Lake Shore Drive and the lake. An unexpected bonus was being able to watch the professional volleyball tournament being played on the beach. We... more

I was so excited about staying at The Drake, you hear all of these wonderful things about it. The hotel itself is elegant and nice, but our overall experience there was such a disappointment and definitely not worth $300/night. Before even checking into our room, they had already charged our credit card once for the entire bill (without us even... more

My wife and I recently stayed here for two nights as the base for our first real vacation in some time. I booked our room on Priceline.com ($129), and we were given a nicely renovated room on the 7th floor (703), albeit with a fire escape/city view down to N. Michigan Ave. below. The room itself, however, was quite large... more

This place does not dissapoint, upgraded to a room with a view of the lake - amazing... Seems like there has been some refurbishment since the last time I was here... All and all - great! more

The Drake is a elegant hotel that you better bring your money too. The room we had was nice and elegant. We avoided the snacks and the mini bar since who can afford any of that. We never did eat at the Hotel since it was too price and not worth the value with so many restaurants near by. The... more

The hotel was nice and very elegant. We booked a room on priceline and when we got there they had no standard rooms with two beds (even though we requested) so we had to upgrade. Not a great start but okay. The room was nice and spacious, two closets and two bathrooms and two beds (couch, table, etc). The location... more

This was my second stay at the Drake. My husband and I had such a geat experience last year that we booked it again this year (for a girls weekend). We booked a family suite through travelocity. We checked in at 8am, but were told our room was not ready, but they would call if it became available early (they... more
