This is a great hotel but their 4 star rating is not warranted for regular rooms. Ours had mold in the tub and on the shower curtain. The drain was clogged. They fixed the drain promptly but the shower curtain took a day to change. We paid about 200 a night but it included breakfast at Drake Bros.. The room had a good view. There were only a handful of cable channels and internet cost $17. per night.
Breakfast at the Drake Brothers costs $25 for the buffet and it was nothing special. A bit of a rip off. It reminded me of a lower quality Vegas buffet. My son got cereal and it cost $9 plus tip $11. I don't mind paying if I get my money's worth and the food wasn't worth it. Why is it that the cheap hotels include breakfast, free phone calls, free exercise room, and free internet but the higher priced hotels charge for every little thing plus you have to tip everyone.
All my life I have wanted to stay at the Drake and it was a bit of a let down. The room was old and dirty. I am not sure if I would stay there again or not. I also stayed at the Seneca a few blocks away which was a bit cheaper but not as elegant. Last year I stayed at the Amalfi. I would chose the Amalfi over the Drake.
