Our hotel ratings and reviews are from real hotel guests. Priceline.com ensures that its reviews are guests-only by proactively sending hotel surveys to customers after they've completed their hotel stays.

A band in the hotel for entertainment. Cocktails and dancing, very nice
I know the hotel is old and I would have to say the lack of air circulation in the room. Ice machine was broke on our floor and we had to go to another floor for ice.

I liked how it was old, definitely romantic. I loved the bar area and the band!
There was no pool or hot tub. It was a huge disappointment!

Great location with a superb view of lake michigan.
It was a bit ornate in decorating.

This hotel was a classic grand hotel 30+ years ago and still is elegant. Other hotels are nicer but much pricier than the Drake. The Four Seasons, Ritz Carlton, Pinninsula, Swiss Hotel are more modern but twice as expensive. Overall it was a great hotel in a superb location.

We some how ended up with a sitting room, walk in closet and an actual view of Lake Michigan! Unbelievable.

We have stayed at the Drake before because it is located very close to our evening activity. It's always been fine. I had joked when they said lake view because I thought, sure you press your face to the window and look between the buildings. This was not the case. We had a complete view of the lake and of a little park. We liked it so much that we were sorry our stay was so short. ...read more

Fresh flowers were lovely in the vestibule.

My room was dirty and tired looking. Glass rings on the top of the table glass indicating the room was not cleaned. Bath tub was a slow drain.
