The Drake is quintessential Chicago old hotel. The staff was wonderful, shopping and great dining within walking distances.
I will say this is an older hotel with a few issues. My daughter and were so excited to spend a weekend planning for her wedding and walking all around ' the windy city'. I think I spent @350/night for two beds and a view of the Lake. The view was spectacular but the room not so much. The bathroom had cracked tiles, bathtub leaked and there was some sort of major leak over by the air conditioner that completely soiled 1/4 of the carpet. Sadly the hotel was very busy with weddings and staff never made it to room to repair.
Very friendly and helpful from the moment you step on the property. Parking was expensive, to spend $75 a day is ridiculous. I would not mind a one time fee.
The Drake Hotel is an iconic landmark in Chicago (think Plaza Hotel in NYC). If you haven't stayed at the Drake and walked along Michigan Ave. (the Magnificent Mile) and Lake shore Drive with the parks and shoreline of Lake Michigan...without that you just haven't experienced Chicago!
