Iconic hotel

I’ve always wanted to stay at the Drake since it’s an iconic hotel. It was a fun overnight. It’s an older hotel but still charming. The staff was great. The day was very nice.

Beautiful historic building and great location. Have been coming here since I was a little girl. While everything is clean and staff is wonderful, everything is old and showing wear. Not talking about fixtures and furniture - towels were threadbare, bedspread shabby, carpets worn. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and will be back.

We loved the historic hotel, but it unfortunately needs some updating. Our room smelled very distinctly of mildew and mold when walking in. The wallpaper is peeling off the walls, and the furniture is very dated. However, the staff were absolutely incredible!
