The room was large and clean. The staff was very nice and helpful. The location is superb. The on-site restaurant was a good value. The drawback to The Drake is that restaurant is very noisy with live music and karaoke extending until midnight. One’s only recourse is to shut the windows and there’s no A/C. As much as I liked the place otherwise I’d never stay there again.
