We had high hopes for The Drake. My boyfriend booked us a room for a quick getaway in the city. The first room they put us in was small, dark and dingy with a view of the fire escape. He paid $30 to upgrade and put us in a second room. Since we both had to work during the trip, we brought our laptops thinking we would be able to do some work in the mornings and evenings. Once we got to the second room we realized the wi-fi was not connecting. We called the manager who moved us into a third room since he said the wi-fi was out in a portion of the hotel. The third room did have a great view however we still did not have wi-if. It's hard to imagine one of the biggest cities in the world at a national chain hotel does not have wi-fi. We ended up having to go to Starbucks to get any work done and wasted lots of precious time. Other negatives: valet parking is $70 a night. SEVENTY A NIGHT! We are from Las Vegas and LA and don't even see that kind of pricing! Here's a few positives: the breakfast and the shower pressure. Other than that- don't waste your time.
