Reading previous reviews it was unnaturally hot overnight despite turning down the thermostat all the way. Otherwise a great affordable stay.

A couple nights at the Drake

Incredible price for Canmore. We needed pet friendly. They were great. Gave us a creekside room. Complimentary drinks and mad specials at the attached pub. Room was hot first night. The thermostat failed. They had it fixed immediately. Great views, comfy beds, clean, super central to downtown. Hotel is older but was fine.

10/10 Exceptional

It’s an older building with some excellent renovations, at least in our space. Everything from the bed, TV, shower, worked very well. The checkin was smooth and the receptionist warm, friendly and efficient. The location is hard to beat if you like to walk to dining and coffee. Lots of options an easy 5-10’ stroll away. We would definitely stay again.

Verified Expedia guest review

2/10 Poor

Rooms are very run down. For a hotel in Canmore, this place should be updated/renovated for the amount you pay. ($260/night - this is a $99 truck stop at best) Not insulated for sound well at all, you can hear everything going on in the rooms beside and above. Lots of people coming and going until early in the morning. Wont be staying here again. Would not recommend.
