1. Their willingness to help really helped me when I paid the bill for tea, scones, little sandwiches, and some sweets--$150 including tip.

"Fulfilled a dream, but at what a price! " Read full review on TripAdvisor 4/8/2009 Vote

2. It's not perfect, the bathrooms could be bigger and I was in room 150 which was billed as a lake view and had one but I imagine that higher up would be better.

3. The Drake Hotel filled the bill.

"Still One of the Best in Chicago " Read full review on TripAdvisor 7/21/2011 Vote

4. However, for as much as I paid to stay there, I should not have been double billed and the tub should not have been clogged up with hair.

5. Before even checking into our room, they had already charged our credit card once for the entire bill (without us even knowing).

6. The "soaking tub" is not what it is billed for and that was a huge reason for the decision to stay at this hotel, so I was disappointed in that.

7. Had a little trouble checking in, we wanted to split the bill 2 ways.
