The Drake Inn has great value - decent rooms for a great price with a view! Right I'm the heart of Canmore, and clean rooms make it a great locale. My issue comes from the weird "Bar Manager", Rob Dingo, who would not let us speak to an owner when we asked to do so (had trouble finding seating even... More

Myself and a girl friend, along with my small dog, stayed at the Drake Inn over the Easter long weekend, 2013. Having a pet we were given a bottom level room (Room 19), at the very end, with a patio overlooking the creek and of course the breath taking mountains. It was ideal. Never once moved my vehicle as everything... More

We paid for the upgraded "suite" but were disappointed to find it was just a normal room with a fridge added... It was not a suite at all. The room was not very well appointed with few pillows, the wash hand basin in the room as apposed to in the bathroom, and the door was very drafty as it opened... More

Stayed two nights on Feb 15th and 16th 2013, to take advantage of the valentines special Room prices went from the 69$ a night regular price, to the inflated 169$/night! What a waste. Will never be back. Horrible service by the two girls running the place. They are the two most unprofessional girls I have ever met in my life.... More

We drove to Canmore in July. Stayed in this hotel for 2 days. We felt every thing is fine except climb the staircase. But our window got stunning views in result of climbing. Also the Canmore is a beautiful town. It is so enjoyably to walked around town.

Was in Canmore this weekend with a party of 12, for a bachelorette party. We were very disappointed and let down by our experience at the Drake. :(  We booked a reservation well in advanced, and the staff was not interested in accommodating us.

We arrived late so it was just a place to crash however we should have kept driving as we would have saved the money. I had read the reviews regarding this hotel and it was mentioned a couple of times that the bar attached to the hotel was loud but we thought it couldn't be that bad right? It was... More

It's really not that good of a hotel but it is really not that bad of a hotel either. When I checked in I got upgraded to Creekside. Good: It had an excellent location (Right on railway avenue so you didn't have to drive to get to places). Our room had a nice 42'' flat screen TV and a mini... More

Although there were not a lot of extra's, we were mainly there to sleep. They have put a lot of effort into updating their rooms, and it shows! Very friendly staff, and an inviting pub attached to the Inn! Only complaints were some paint chipping and the water pipes were a bit noisy.
