We enjoyed our stay! We were close to restaurants and shops, we had easy public transportation, everyone was nice and helpful, and the room was great! Definitely an older building, but it's hard to beat!

We always enjoy staying at the Drake but this last visit was for 4 nights and there was no heat in the building which made for very chilly evenings in the 40s.

I know it’s old and is historical, but the rooms need an update. Housekeeping needs to collect glasses from the hallways and rooms instead of just leaving them. Electrical needs to be updated - coffee maker apparently blew the power strip. Even though it’s a no-smoking hotel, the venting caused cigarette smoke to come into our room and continuously make it smell like smoke and since you can’t open the windows, you’re stuck running the AC even if it’s cold. The hotel needs to be updated.
