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.

Great vibe and friendly staff. Lots going on in the building with events, which was fun…but when you can hear the basement event at 11pm on a Sunday all the way up on the third floor, something needs to be better insulted!
