Honestly, I presented a four out of five merely for the kindness and hospitable staff, and the historical society cancelling of the hotel. And, for being,or having to be in Chicago,it did provide nice view on lakeside. However, the overall experience would not rate a four-- I cannot blame the hotel for the ridiculous traffic, terribly expensive parking, the higher costs of food and basics in a large city like Chicago, or the overall rudeness of local populism. Again,very attentive nice staff, a historical landmark, and the overall appearance of rooms and facilities is quite nice,especially considering the buildings age..Personally,will try not to be back in Chicago area for a while but, if I did need to, the Drake is a fine hotel, very good staff,and appeared very clean. Thank you.
