Excellent walkable location and nice rooms with quirky/fun designs. The bed was comfy and despite a restaurant downstairs we didn't experience any noise bleed. Clean and well appointed room.

The bathroom layout was a bit odd.

The rooms were very small, the staff was not very helpful explaining what the hotel had to offer.

The Drake Hotel is such a vibe! A really nice, boutique atmosphere with a great bar (which even has a happy hour) and the interior design is just gorgeous. The room was a great size. Our room had one of those 'integrated bathrooms' where the shower is in the room with a privacy screen - fine for couples but just a heads up for friends sharing!

My friend Sabrina and I had a wonderful brunch today at the Drake Hotel's Sky Yard. We shared the eggs Benedict, the chicken and waffles, and Hugo Spritzes, and everything was delicious. What truly made our visit special, though, was our server, Kai. He was attentive from start to finish, offering great recommendations on menu options and drinks without ever being overbearing. Since it was hot out and we were sitting outside, he steered us away from a traditional espresso martini and instead suggested a cool, refreshing mix with espresso of course . he had the bartender put together, which turned out to be a great call. Sabrina also enjoyed her sangria. What stood out most was how far Kai went beyond the basics. When our umbrella broke, he immediately brought out a replacement so we could stay comfortable. He also took the time to chat with us and made the whole experience feel personal and unhurried. It is rare to find service this thoughtful, and it turned a nice brunch into a memorable one. Sabrina and I both agreed we will be back, and we will be requesting Kai every time. Highly recommend the Sky Yard for a relaxed, well-served brunch with a view.
