| - There is just so much to love about the Drake Hotel!
-complimentary popcorn & bubbly (they like me... they really like me!) with a handwritten "welcome back" note, as it was my second time here
-extremely accommodating staff who will kindly carry even your biggest, heaviest suitcase up to your room when you're wearing heels (I hate asking for help with my luggage. I'd rather leave that to the people who really need it!)
-access to a pretty sweet gym just a little ways away
-that rooftop patio!
-beds... comfy comfy beds
-funny/creepy doll on the bed that provide endless amusement for your IG followers
-really really nice shower products
The thing to know is, as some people mention, unless you're in one of the suites, this is *not a place to share a room* unless you have no hang-ups whatsoever. I wasn't in the smallest rooms (aka the Nooks/Crash Pads ), but a Den, which may sound big from the description, but it's the size of a typical hotel room, perhaps even a little smaller than that. Your bathroom is literally just a few feet from the bed, and it's a toilet enclosed in glass. The shower is a separate tiny glass enclosure and while I'm smaller sized person, I had to be careful not to knock my limbs into the glass (I'm clumsy, too). The sink/mirror is outside of the shower and toilet enclosures, ie, out in the open. Let's just say, I couldn't even stay here with my boyfriend unless I made him wait outside while I did my business.
Note: I haven't yet stayed in one of suites, so this is an assumption that they are big enough to afford more privacy.
Yes, the walls are thin. And you will hear people... doing what people do. Some are doing things quite enthusiastically. No hatred for them. It's the walls' fault. The hotel is very adoring towards everyone. Leave your hang-ups at home.
Two dollar sign should be more like 3. It's rare that you're going to find even the smallest "crash pad" for under $200 Canadian, so be prepared to fork it over or share and make your roommate leave when you're showering or doing other bathroomy type things. That's awkward for this price point.
That said, I adore staying here when I'm in town for work, which is always by myself. I love being about to walk out of the hotel and be steps away from phenomenal eateries, bars, shopping and the park, too! Staying in this neighborhood is everything if you're looking to not be in a soulless corporate part of the city.
