Beautiful hotel in a great location
Pros:

We had an absolutely amazing stay at Drakes, we stayed in room 11 with an open bathtub which was beautiful. Breakfast was delicious and we had it brought up to the room which was a lovely option. Exceptional customer service from all the staff, would definitely return.
