Hayli
Fantastic location, walkable to lots of shops and restaurants. super comfy bed. Only downside was music from the bar blasting until well past midnight so bring your earplugs.
Jacob
Very nice and accommodating front desk.
Zeenat
The room was poorly maintained, with torn windows which allowed the insects to enter the room and there were cobwebs and the areas were not cleaned.
Very frustrating experience! Not worth the price!
Had a tough time with my family!
They should invest in repairing the property before renting!

Bruce
The room was large and clean. The staff was very nice and helpful. The location is superb. The on-site restaurant was a good value. The drawback to The Drake is that restaurant is very noisy with live music and karaoke extending until midnight. One’s only recourse is to shut the windows and there’s no A/C. As much as I liked the place otherwise I’d never stay there again.
Matt
Very nice spot, location is great to get around and walk about
Donna

Chambre régulière. Belle vue sur rivière et montagnes. Pas de déjeuner. Cher pour la qualité même si en haute saison

We had an excellent stay at the Drake Inn. This is our favorite place to stay in Canmore and our second stay and visit. Friendly staff, clean place and close to the shops.
James
This property is in a convenient location, unfortunately, that is about the best it has going for it. The rooms and the building itself are old and very very worn. We had torn carpet on our balcony floor and the screen door to go out onto the balcony was torn, the toilet seat was lose and the base was a bit shakey. The shower soaps and shampoo dispensers did not work properly and it was difficult to use the pumps. They have bath tubs and not stand up showers in tiny bathrooms. The TV volume was inconsistent with limited channels. There is no ice machine on property, so you have to go next door to the restaurant! The linens were fresh and the bed was comfy. The staff was friendly and helpful! Overall, it is overpriced in comparison to surrounding lodging! I would not recommend this Inn at the current price point!

Good
Christopher
The staff were very friendly and helpful. The bar and restaurant were clean, service good and food good. Parking was very good with spaces always available close to our room. The beds and bedding was good. The room was a little dirty: stains on the carpet, basic shower with 'clunky' knobs, sparse and chipped/stained furniture, no door on the closet, little drawer space. This is a motel described as a hotel. There was no lounge or meeting area in the hotel with doors to the rooms from the parking lot and open hallways. We understand that this a big tourist area and hotel rooms are going to be expensive but we thought that for the type of hotel the fees were expensive.

Great location at comparably good prices
Maria
Clean room, Rocky mountain soaps made the day, love the product. We ate at the restaurant we enjoyed the food, music, and the service. Thanks
Steve
Clean property, close to Banff, amazing views, wonderful, helpful staff
Martha
Nice location. Terribly maintained. Bathroom ridiculous. Child size toilet. Disgusting tile in entryway and bathroom. Sink not in bathroom but in room. One small grab bar in shower poorly placed. For a senior the whole bathroom was frustrating and unsafe. Linen and beds very nice. Staff just lovely people. The owners should be ashamed of the obvious neglect and indifference that shows for paying guests. The Drake could be wonderful, but that would require someone paying attention.
Lovnish
Everything was good
Simon
It was good.
David
Stayed here recently and had a really solid experience overall. The staff was friendly and helpful throughout the stay, and the check-in process was very smooth. The room was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, with everything I needed for a short trip.
The location was also convenient and made it easy to get around. A few small things could be improve, the place was slightly dated and parking was a bit limited at busy times, but nothing that took away from the overall experience.
Would definitely consider staying here again and would recommend it to others looking for a comfortable and reliable place to stay in Canmore!

Staff was friendly, room was your average room but it was clean. Great bar and live band
Chun Wai
The hotel is pretty dated, but most items are well maintained. Just the room is too close to the main street where lots of people hanging out late talking loud during mid-night which affect the sleep quality.
Staffs are super friendly, kudos to the people working here.

could see the mountains from my window! not loud from the bar where my room was. good walking distance to all the restaurants

Parking was good

No service available at night, parking space is terrible and room was not cleaned properly had a half cup of coffee left in our room when we entered.
Angela
The room was very clean, with a beautiful view from the balcony. The restaurant/patio is awesome as well. Great location.
Mike
Paper thin walls, could hear others having arguments. Ear plugs solved that issue.
Lisa
Clean room, nice staff, central location near downtown.
Rebecca
Easy place to find. Simple check in. Comfy beds. Clean and safe place.
Chelsea
This hotel is a sweet gem in Canmore! Walking distance to everything shops, restaurants, the walk along the creek is beautiful. The room had everything you need and a great view of the Three Sisters. Staff was so friendly and quick to fix an error on the charges. We danced the night away at the bar attached to the hotel then strolled back to our room. Great stay would definitely book again.
Matthew
Great cheap place to stay during the winter months. The rooms have been freshly renovated and the outside just got a fresh coat of paint (summer of 2025). The pup has excellent food and amazing staff. The inn is within walking distance of downtown and lots of restaurants.
Jaypee
good place to stay
Julius
No microwave
KATHERINE
Terrific fun and great staff in the office at the restaurant/pub. After being in a room that felt too exposed, staff were very accommodating to my request for a room off the main floor. Very comfortable beds, the amenities were as stated, and wonderful proximity to everything we wanted.
Dave
This was an amazing stay for the money. You get what you pay for. You can't expect a 5 star resort when you pay 2 star motel prices. The beds were comfortable and clean. The washroom was dated, but clean. With the fridge and coffee maker, we saved a lot on meals. There was no microwave, but there was one in the office that we could use. The location was great - one block from the downtown core. The staff was very kind. The secure parking was right at the bottom of the stairs.
Dwight
Staff was great. The food and entertainment was great. Lots of ice In the parking lot. But not much they could do about that. Perfect location , close to everything.
Barbara
The parking was easy enough but the lot had some flooding issues. I also couldn't park by the tree due to the wind blowing branches and debris onto the car. The staff was very friendly and helpful, the room was clean and comfortable, and the mountain views were spectacular!
Nicole
Overall cost was much more than advertised when booking.
Murray
the room was comfortable and excellent value for the cost

Jody
The room was clean and the check in was easy.
Teri-lea
The location is excellent, but the hotel is really showing its age. The room walls need repainting, and although the bathroom looked like it had been renovated, the work wasn’t finished. The room was clean overall, but there were popsplatters on the walls near the bed. The office area outside looked quite messy, with cluttered desks and items left out, which didn’t give a good first impression. For the value 150.00 ..should kept looking .. The best is the renovated bar and lounge music is great lots of young locals come. The food is really good .. but pay 5.00 for a tea bit much
But it’s Canmore ..
Trena
Room was spotless, love the reno's, and staff is amazing. So close to all the shopping and the discount in the bar is a nice bonus
HENRY
Clean room, clean bed, friendly staff

Chad
The windows were so dirty
Rebecca
Toilet was on the fritz, no placard to request no housekeeping, they went into our room while we were away without telling us to “fix” the toilet. Poor lighting in vanity for getting ready. Water damage around tub. Left feeling overcharged, but I enjoyed the view
Kenneth
Incredible view, easy check-in experience, and very nice rooms.
My only note is that there needs to be a longer runner carpet for getting in the door and taking shoes off. It was a wet weekend, and our floor got pretty messy.

It was an okay place to put our heads down. We did see a gross spot on our down douvet. I cleaned something else (Gross spot) from shower curtain which should be changed out for a clean one. Room is sure from the 70-80's & I saw newer remodeled rooms when I was searching. I will not book here again.
Shane
They were great,room is a bit dated but it was very clean and comfortable

The view was stunning. I love there.

great location, super close to everything. Right beside the Drake pub which is a great spot for food and drinks. rooms are spacious, recommend it. Super close to everything.
Marlene
Great friendly staff. Great location, walk to about anywhere. Clean comfy beds and great hot shower.
Colton
Staff as always were super friendly and accommodating. The room was clean, and well maintained. Best value in Canmore by a mile, only bummer was the pub was closed!
Lynsey
Location is excellent. Room was clean & functional. Views were amazing!
Jaroslava
Beautiful view. Staff friendly
karyn
Front desk staff was very courteous. Room was great for the night with exceptional view of the Three Sisters mountains.
Lesia
Our room was clean and had an amazing view. Staff was friendly and check in was very quick. My only complaint was we couldn’t watch TV as the batteries in the remote were dead and the front office was closed.
Dennis
I was having problems with my credit card upon reservation, and the nice lady at the counter fixed me up . Good quiet sleep
Donna
Room and room to view was breathtaking. Brenda was fabulous to deal with. Absolutely recommend staying here.
Wesley
Way over priced for no air conditioning. The rooms were extremely loud from the bar below and very limited parking spots.
Cherise
Front desk was lovely
Mitch
Very clean, great view of the three sisters!!
SUSAN
We were initially pleased with the off-season rate and felt that the hotel provided reasonable value for the price. While it is not a high-end mountain resort, the front desk staff were friendly and welcoming upon arrival, and our room was clean, though it would benefit from some updates. We particularly enjoyed the mountain views from our creekside room.
However, there were several aspects of our stay that were disappointing. There was no indication on Hotels.ca or the hotel’s official website that the on-site pub and restaurant would be closed until December for renovations, which was unfortunate as we had planned to dine there and watch a game. Additionally, there was no mention that Telus was conducting work on the property, impacting access to the main entrance and portions of the parking area.
After booking our reservation, we received an email outlining the pub’s hours (later upon check in finding out the location currently closed) as well as informing us about reduced front desk hours due to staffing shortages and low-season operations.
Unfortunately, our nights were also disturbed by excessive noise, including guests pounding on doors and others shouting from the parking lot to rooms on the upper floors. With no front desk or staff available, we had no one to report.
Overall, while the staff were pleasant and the views beautiful, the lack of communication regarding closures, construction, and disruptions significantly detracted from the experience.

The room was clean and comfortable, but the management’s handling of my booking was unacceptable. The hotel charged my card for the full amount an hour before their office closed, without warning. I had already paid the deposit and first night stay, so this felt excessive and unprofessional.
To make matters worse, I was told by the manager that office hours were 8 a.m. – 10 a.m. on Thursday, and I even have an email confirming that. However, they sent an amended schedule the day of check-in — which I didn’t see because I relied on the original information provided when I booked. I showed up promptly at 8 a.m. to pay in person, but the manager was late, and I had to leave for my retreat without staying.
Overall, the room was fine, but the lack of clear communication and the unauthorized early charge completely ruined my experience. I wouldn’t book again unless management improves their professionalism and consistency.

The view was nice but the restaurant was under renovation so that was a little disappointing.
Ron
We were travelling with 2 pedal bikes. Room was on the 3rd floor. No way we were getting our bikes up stairs. On elevator. Quick phone call to the contact number. A spot on the ground floor was made available for storage. All turned out just great. Thanks so much !!
ZHONGMIAN
Had a nice stay
Kimberly
Although a great location to walk in town the facility was over priced for what it is…. Office closed by 5 pm, there was mold on the shower wall ceiling and dirty floors. No elevators and three floors were rough with a heavy suitcase. It was just a place to rest your head for a night. Nothing spectacular.
Jennifer
excellent view, would definitely stay again
Rosanne
A decent place to stay if it’s not a Friday night, when music blares till 2 am from the adjacent pub. Coffee maker was also not clean, which made the morning bleary wake-up even tougher.

This property was no frills but had everything we needed. The room was clean and updated. Did lack a space to hang things. A few more hooks would help.
No elevator. Restaurant pub on site. Beautiful view of mountains and creek running next to property. Easy walking distance to shops, restaurants and downtown as well as trails. Take note. No hot tub on site. Great choice for price point.

The room/bathroom seemed dated from the 60's. The top layer covering the steps to the 2nd level needed were broken and the railing rough. Just didn't feel safe or kept up very well at all.
