The Driskill is a classic! I was in town for a business trip and decided to stay here. The location is perfect for meetings and exploring the nightlife. The room was spacious and comfortable, and I enjoyed the breakfast at the restaurant. A bit pricey, but worth it for the experience!

overratedgood locationpricey

While The Driskill is beautiful, I found it a bit overrated. The rooms were nice, but I expected a bit more for the price. The location is convenient, but there are other hotels nearby that offer similar amenities at a lower cost. It's a nice place, but I might try somewhere else next time.
