Great view of the Lake

I got to hotel just after noon and they were already checking in. The front desk had rooms available and it ended up I received a great lake view room. Overlooking Lake Shore Drive! The hotel is a classic looking building but the beds TV and furniture were all great. Comfortable place to stay. Lounge and bar offered good food. Service dog friendly too!

8/10 Very good

Good experience at competitive rate

Mid September stay. Room on floor 9 with wonderful north LSD and Oak Street Beach view. Okay room. Seemed always chilly regardless of thermostat setting. Bath tub a bit rusty and well worn. Services were great. A drink at the bar is highly recommended.
Stanley, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

Picked for location and price, taxes and parking was expensive. Good historic hotel, would stay again.
Mary, 4-night trip

2/10 Poor

From the minute I checked in and got to my room, the entire experience was horrible. The room was dirty, sheets were soiled, one bath towel was given to me. The front desk people were like robots. I talked with the hotel manager when I checked out and he gave me a small discount. The entire stay should have been credited. The Drake was awful and a huge waste of money. Travelers beware!
