The Drake is a great traditional hotel. We had a lovely large room with an exceptional view. The bed was very comfortable. However, the furniture was worn and the room needed a bit of an update. There was not a frig I’m our room either. Would have been convenient. Overall a nice stay!

The room was clean and the staff courteous. The problem was with the foldout couch in the family room. ( I asked for a room with 2 queen beds) It was not fit for sleeping on. There is no way that couch should have been offered for a person to sleep on, much less be charged for it.
