Not worth the money.

3.0

The location was good, and the hotel its self is very nice.

The beds were vert uncomfortable, and the room smelt like urine. The fridge did not work, and then when we sent for another fridge as we had perishables including milk for our baby, they brought one up that smelled terrible, and never got cold. We were on a lower floor right at the corner of the busiest intersection so the entire night we heard cars, and sirens, and did not get a good sleep.

Guest review

5.0

The location is amazing.

I specifically paid a premium for a room with a beautiful view of the lake, yet I was placed in a corner room with a very limited view. The experience felt underwhelming, especially when compared to the consistently exceptional hospitality I've received at the Trump Tower, the Peninsula, the Four Seasons, and the Waldorf Astoria. Luxury hospitality is about more than the room itself, it's about anticipating guest expectations and delivering an experience that reflects the premium price paid. I believe there is significant room for improvement in that regard, and I hope this feedback is taken as an opportunity to elevate the guest experience.

Great stay! Will be back

10.0

The location couldn’t have been more centralized to everything we were looking to do while we are here. Between the magnificent mile, Gold Coast, beach is quite literally across the road, wicker park and Humboldt Park are a quick jump over. The hotel was super clean, the staff was even friendlier, we’ve been to town several times and this hotel has been our favorite.

It was nice. Too expensive for the level of accommodations. I’ll go elsewhere next time. The bar closed at 11:30 and

7.0

It was clean and kind of opulent.

The accommodations in the room were faux nice. Kind of cheap bed, etc.

As good as ever!

10.0

I have been coming to the Drake literally for 75 years, and while at one point it had gotten old and a bit seedy above the first floor, it’s affiliation with Hilton has caused things to be much improved. The room was clean and comfortable, and the service, both in-room and throughout the hotel reminded me of the good old days of traveler respect. Thanks for a great stay.

Solid conference experience

10.0

Amazing staff, attentive and responsive, friendly and accessible. The building is historic which means a mixture of beautiful features and some accessibility challenges. Rooms can be variable in layout and views, make sure to ask for what you want. Great conference spaces, delicious food.
