Swiftie weekend
We had a wonderful stay at The Drake Hotel. Loved how they accommodated the swifties during Taylor Swift's concert weekends. All of the extra touches helped to hype us up for the big night. We ate at the hotel for dinner and brunch. The sushi was amazing. Would definitely stay here again.

It was a nightmare. The room was not only tiny with old crappy furniture but the shower and toilet were in the room with the bed so you had zero privacy when using either of them. The frosted glass wasn’t even frosted enough to hide anything. We had to create a makeshift covering so we weren’t voyeurs. There was no warning of this condition. We also asked for extra towels and didn’t receive any. There were also no ceiling lights making the space dark and dreary with weird disco mushrooms outside and absolutely no view. It was awful. Would never recommend and not worth the horrifically inflated prices. They also have no parking for that price and the parking lot is tricky to find if you don’t know the area.

We were upgraded to a queen room which I was delighted with before I saw room but room 213 was dreary and for the price we paid I didn't feel I got value for money if anything I felt ripped off. No window to look out of. At one point we had spare time to relax and my daughter specifically asked not to go back to hotel room it was so unwelcoming !!

Staff at desk very friendly , however could not assist me with the parking app as they don’t drive . Had to park over a block away in a general parking ramp and was very expensive! Hotel does not give any credit for parking. Showerhead had no adjustable water pressure. You had to use your phone install an app for the tv just to see local channels
I will look around for other hotels at the high price we paid for this one .
