Review by hotel critic
During my recent five-night stay at the Drake, I found the tranquil environment to be a much-needed retreat. The outdoor swimming pool offered a refreshing escape, and the views of the garden were pleasant, providing a serene backdrop. While the décor could benefit from an update, the comfort and spaciousness of the room made it a practical choice. The spa services were a highlight, with opportunities for relaxation that align with my passion for wildlife conservation and the rejuvenation of body and mind. The staff were notably helpful, contributing positively to my experience. Given its convenient location close to my work and the variety of recreational facilities, I would consider returning for another rejuvenating stay. If you're seeking a peaceful escape, this place warrants your attention.
