I was relocated to The Drake after The Hilton Chicago couldn't accommodate my reservation I made nearly 4 months in advance for a conference. I am unimpressed with the room I was given. I pulled down my blinds the second I entered the room due to the eyesore outside my window. The outlet provided on the lamp sparked and popped when I attempted to plug in my phone charger (it is unusable). The wallpaper is peeling and the paint on the crown molding is flaking off. There is mold on the grout of the tiles in the shower. I've stayed in $50 motel rooms in better shape than the room I was provided. I understand the building is historical, and the lobby is absolutely gorgeous, but they need to consider updating the rooms. This is my first time staying in Chicago, and I am disappointed with my accommodations for the three nights I'm here. Considering looking for another Hotel for the remaining two nights.
