Hotwire Hotel: 4.5* Chicago (NMA- Water Tower - Gold Coast) Drake

[megc]

Got three rooms at the Drake. I read reviews on Tripadvisor and they were not positive. Does anyone have any redeaming(sp?) words? This was the only 4.5 star hotel listed on the Gold Coast for that time, I thought it was the Omni.

the drake? it's an old hotel located at the start of the mag mile with oak st. beach right across the street.. it used to be THE hotel way back in the day and i always wanted to stay there. if you want to see how it looks inside, rent wicker park. theres a scene that takes place inside on of their guestrooms.

I am sorry I did not record the ammeneties, I will have to check my Father's account because I booked it at his house. This trip went very well. I paid $40 extra a night and upgraded to a lakeview room on the top floor with access to an unbelievable hospitality room with free drinks practically all the time, h'ouer dourves, breakfast, and a fabulous view. My parents paid $60 more for a corner suite. Sure, this hotel has seen better days but it is still lovely, and in an unbeatable location. $140 some dollars for big rooms on the lake and free stuff? Forget about it.
