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.

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 .

Everything was great but felt a little misled when checking in as were encouraged by staff to upgrade. We were tired from a long drive so did it but not really sure why we were encouraged to do so - other than my husband maybe misunderstood being told we had to use outdoor stairs to get to our room and the other room we could get would be better. Fully our decision but it was a first time for being unsolicitedly upsold on what was supposed to be a better room.

No parking
The hotel is on a busy street so off loading luggage is problematic.
The parking lot for the hotel is a small public 2 storey lot that was full the 2 times we tried to park. At 9:00 we tried again and luckily got the last spot so we could leave the car safely overnight and finally check in.
It was stressful at best.
