My wife and I got a free night at the Drake and decided to use it for my birthday. We had booked in advance and my wife had notified the hotel that it was my birthday. Now, my wife and I have been working in Hotels for a while now. We've gone from working 5 star 5 diamond hotels to brand new boutique hotels. We don't know if we had set up the bar way too high for the Drake but we were a bit disappointed. First thing they upgraded us to a "better nicer executive suite". We stayed on the 10th floor and the view was AMAZING. The room was VERY small its basically like a studio with a king size bed nothing special. They didn't have a mini fridge in the room. We brought our 2 year old with us and wanted to warm up my son's milk but room service couldn't do it. The only other option was to get a microwave send up to our room for an extra charge. They were nice enough to leave us a birthday cake and a bottle of sparkling wine. The down side was that the ice in the wine bucket was completely melted. The bottle of spakling wine was just floating in water and wasn't cold at all. The room didn't have any robes those are available for an extra charge. Rooms definitely need to be updated they look very sad,old and dark. I feel like they are trying to charge you for evry single thing so be careful with hidden fees and small fees that you may think are complimentary but they aren't.
