After having to abruptly leave a disappointing stay at another hotel nearby, The Drake in Oakbrook was exactly the breath of fresh air we needed. From the moment we arrived, everything went smoothly. Our room was ready, the mobile key worked perfectly, and we were placed in a lovely corner room that was clean, comfortable, and fully functional.
We visited COA in the evening and had a great time turning in our key for a surprise experience—such a fun and creative touch! Later, we enjoyed a nightcap in the lounge, which was lively and welcoming. The Brie cheese plate was absolutely delicious, and the bartender was not only attentive and knowledgeable, but had a great sense of humor that made our evening even better.
The property itself is beautiful and peaceful—we loved walking the grounds and taking it all in. Our room was cozy, quiet, and inviting, and we finally got the restful night’s sleep we had hoped for.
This stay reminded us of what great hospitality looks like. We will absolutely be returning and recommending The Drake to friends and colleagues. Thank you for turning our trip around!
