- Pros: Can't beat the locale
- Cons: It's old

To much for a Drake
by janillcarl at Citysearch
I was expecting so high class hotel, but it did have a funky old smell to it. Maybe they need to seal the brick walls from the rooms. I dont know, all i know is it was creapy. I rather have stayed at The W.
- Pros: Historic
- Cons: To old and smelly
