While The Drake is no longer at its peak, I would absolutely stay here again. The hotel is a bit dated, but charming in a historic way. Rooms are very comfortable, clean, and the service is very good. Hotel staff were great, and accommodated my requests. Location is great, walkable to all sorts of stores and restaurants. About as close to the lake as you can get. Only drawbacks are that The Drake no-longer houses prestige tenants (Chanel and Georg Jensen both moved out) so the street level feels a bit bare.

While the Drake is a beautiful old hotel, it is in dire need of updating. The doors stick, the ice machines are always empty, you have to request a refrigerator. My room reeked of cigarettes and had to be aerated. The plumbing is a patched job and the water tap wouldn’t shut off. While we reported to the staff, they didn’t seem to care. So sad, as it’s a great location to the beach and shopping.

Beautiful hotel in a great location that makes it easy to walk everywhere. Beds are EXTREMELY comfy, we slept great and would wake up feeling well rested after a 10-12 hour day out on the town. Soundproof rooms, we never heard our neighbors once during our stay!
