Staff went above and beyond to ensure we had a good stay. Much appreciated
So nasty. We had to switch rooms when we first got there bc of food crumbs in the bed. Our second room seemed fine, but when we got back for the night we saw about five roaches in the span of a minute. We decided to just drive back home. We asked for a refund even if it was a partial one, but because we signed an agreement when we got there we weren't able to get one. Don't go!!!! So bad.
It was fun clean and close to downtown the staff was friendly and helpful and we loved the pool. I'm so glad I chose the Drake motel will stay there again or will be my first choice! Loved it. Very cute place too
The pool was green, the area unsafe, horrible noise, AC unit was super loud and off when you get there so it was extremely hot for first few hours, toilet moved when you sat on it, bed sheets were itchy, floor turned your feet black, tub had mold and just looked unclean.
If I could give zero stars, I would this place is a nightmare. We had no TV. The air conditioner wasn’t working, BUGS ,dirty tissues next to the bed. The bathtub wouldn’t drained looked like it needed replaced a big hole in the middle of it where the plumbing used to be The pool was green…. Staff was ungodly rude lady pushed us out started at 10 am and wouldn’t leave us alone for every five or 10 minutes. Are you gone yet? Are you done yet? Avoid avoid avoid
The pool water is green, so the pool's not safe to swim in during my visit. The uh bathtub, it was filthy. So I did not use the tower shower, and there were bugs in the room as well as I could see. Quite a bit of daylight under the room door so I had to stuffed towels under the door to ensure my privacy
When we arrived, they had decided one of my reservations was a duplicate, so they only had one room. The room did not have a functioning toilet. Although they refunded most of my money, they kept close to $97. I would not recommend this hotel. The price was very close to the same as the very nice hotel where we ended up staying.
This is a tough one. The staff was okay but, you can see they are into a routine and have all become equally lazy. You can tell they never check a room. Why do I know this?
When we checked into our room there were three large dead (luckily) cockroaches on our floor. One by the trash can and two more - legs up - in the middle of both the bathroom and the main room. A simple walk through before check in would have taken care of that.
The air con barely worked. I set the temperature at check in (4-ish) to 63 degrees to take away from the near 90 degrees outside more than six hours later (returning from a concert at after midnight) - the room was still warm. We had to sleep on top of the sheets to be able to sleep.
Hotel lamp switches didn't work - it was always on. With no lampshade - you had to screw the lone lightbulb in to get any additional light and then unscrew a extremely hot light bulb to turn the light off. The plug was deep behind the middle of the bed.
The plugs for charging in the lamp base - didn't work. We found plugs by the desk to charge.
Curtains were old and starting to ruin - hanging from missing curtain hooks. Floor was so dirty (thank god it wasn't carpet) - My feet got dirty walking from the shower to the bed to put my socks on. I went and got new towels and used a towel to stand on the next morning after my shower to ensure my feet stayed clean.
I will be posting reviews with pictures on other sites.
