Good
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travellers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
Yeah its the Banff area so stuff is a little pricey, but damn over 300$ a night and the bathroom has rotted floors and massive caulk repairs on the tub.
The carpet needs to be replaced. It looks so worn-out and dirty. The room smells like hospital with strong smell of bleaching formula. It is not comfortable to use the toilet. Will avoid this place next time.

Tired and dated
On arriving we were hit by the poor state of the exterior. The room was very tired, but clean and comfortable. Only 2 coffee sachets were provided daily, giving us one cup each. The whole place is in need of some serious tlc, web photos are very deceiving. As for the pub itself, it was dire!!
Our stay was very good. Close to Banff and the Lakes. It ws very satisfying and they were on the news because they were helping fire victims from Jasper.
The Drake Inn is a clean and quaint older motorlodge walking distance to downtown Canmore. The staff was wonderful and the views were great. The Inn is right off the creek side path making for a nice walk into town for food, shopping and drinks.
The rooms are a little tired, especially the flooring and bathroom. However, everything was impeccable clean. For the price and proximity it is a good deal close to Banff and all it had to offer.

The Drake Inn in Canmore offers an overall decent experience. While the building is old, the rooms are clean. However, there are no elevators and no air conditioning, which might be inconvenient during the summer months.

The room itself was clean. The surriunding area with the neighbourhood bar made it noisey at closing with lots of patrons coming out of the pub at the same time.
Great customer service..Though no airconditioning. The slide doors with thenscreen helps to bring in air when opened.
Staff are so.friendly and welcoming..the room is very clean andhave a nice virw of.the mountains

It is a decent old motel room that is clean and has been upgraded. However, No Air conditioning!!!
My bad for not noticing this prior to my booking. The room was horribly hot as the temperature 35 Celsius most of the week.
