The Drake Is A Good Place From Which To Explore Chicago
I recently attended a two day business conference that was held at the Drake. Although I didn't have too much free time to explore Chicago, I would not hesitate to book this hotel for a family getaway to this beautiful city. First, the location is ideal. It's a short walk from the Magnificant Mile and you can even walk to the famous Navy Pier or stroll down to one of the beaches on Lake Michigan. It might be an older hotel, but I found my room to be clean and comfortable, with a couch, chair, workable desk, hi def television, and wonderful pillows on the king-sized bed.
There are quite a few restaurants in the area, including Gino's East for original deep dish pizza. The hotel staff is friendly and eager to please. When planning a trip to the "Windy City,"
the Drake is a good choice from which to explore its many charms.
