This place needs a complete re-do.  Dirty windows, needs a paint job ( in and out )sliding doors to balcony, both the glass door and screen door should be replaced.  Over priced for what you get.  The only nice thing was that the hot water was hot.  Would not suggest this place to anyone.

Beware.....stay elsewhere.

I stayed at this hotel in mid July while on a Canadian trip with wife and family. This hotel is 1 star at best due to the age of the building/hotel and its condition. It looks like it has not had a renovation EVER. I paid $355.13 aud  for 1 night and this is only a $100 per night hotel. If you have other options consider them, photos, as in all website things, are very misleading. There is no way I would stay here again given the price. 

Over priced to the max !

Racist. Food was horrible. My native friends were treated poorly and after we paid a $132.14 bill they took a picture of my native friend and sent it to rose and crown to not serve us as we mentioned we were going there. I am an engineer that owns companies with a lawyer on the payroll. My lawyer is going to enjoy this case

Racist 

went to see a live band with some Co workers 
and ended up being kicked out and was given back my cover $ cost, so i can leave right away. I was also told by security to leave now or They will tell the other pubs.
Never have i experience a  place with such hate to Indigenous people. 👎👎👎👎👎

Racial  Profiling at its finest

We had a lovely Stay in the Drake Inn. 
The room was spacious and comfortable. But we're really good, everything you need. 

We saw some complains of noise on TripAdvisor and were scared of it. Well it was extremely quiet and slept really wel. 

Also, there is a restaurant underneath the hotel where you can get 15% discount when you are hotel guest. 

Basically, I would advise people to go there and definitely come back to the Drake Inn if I will go to Banff and Canmore area again ! 

Thumbs up to the staff who are very friendly and welcoming !

Amazing Stay

This may not be the most splashy accommodation, but it will be our go to hotel for all future visits to Canmore. The Drake is downtown on the main street, next to the river and close to the best pubs, restaurants and shops. The rate was reasonable (for Canmore) , the room clean with two firm, comfortable queen beds and crisp fresh linen. And the  staff at the hotel and the adjoining pub made us feel most welcome. 

Don’t be turned off by the lack of air conditioning. Our room had an oscillating floor fan, but never had a need to use it (we were there late summer @ 30+C).

Don’t judge a book by its cover

The best thing about the Drake Inn is the bar - great service, atmosphere and food. The accommodation blocks are tired and shabby and in serious need of maintenance, let alone renovation. The cleaning is barely adequate and the deck off our room was really dirty, obviously not on anybody's cleaning rota. I realise that Canmore prices are high, but this motel really is a rip off and barely suitable for guest accommodation. The business owners should keep the bar and turn the rooms over to cheap rentals for seasonal workers.

Very overpriced and tired

We booked a reservation in advance (not necessary there‘s a lot of space.
Both we had a Chicken-Rib combi: absolutely delicious! Also the 2 cocktails, my wife had, were perfect!
Service was great, but good skills in English language seem to be more than useful 😀😆😉

It seems to be not known by everybody, but it‘s worth to go there

This was a fantastic place to head for food, drinks, atmosphere and music. We came along to watch during the battle of Alberta playoffs (go flames go!), and we enjoyed a huge and delicious meal beforehand, and drinks through. It was a busy event, but the staff were phenomenal, fun, polite and attentive throughout. We will definitely we spending more time there whenever we are nearby!

Great food and atmosphere with lovely staff

They claim to be "pet-friendly" and then tell you upon arrival (not beforehand) that you will be charged a hefty fee if they find a single pet hair on one of the beds or the solitary room chair (2 beds and only 1 room chair? Guess the classy, beat-up red Coke refrigerator wouldn’t have fit in the room with two chairs). They and their customers would be better served were the owners/management to focus their attention on the urine and other assorted stains on the carpeting (maybe replacing or professionally cleaning carpet when stained - certainly a property that charges a hefty fee for a pet hair on a bed also charges enough to take care of damages done to one of their carpets, right?) or, even better, using vinyl instead of carpet in all supposedly "pet-friendly" rooms, repairing the damages, doing some much needed maintenance, upgrading and doing something about the noise (walls are paper thin and you can hear everything going on in the rooms beside and above you). There was/is very little room to maneuver around in the room we had - even for one person, let alone two and a pet.

Although they charge a little less than some other properties in Canmore, I would’ve paid more somewhere else had I known what was in store for us. Unfortunately, by the time we arrived and found out how "un-pet-friendly" and disinterested they are in keeping up their property, there were no more "pet-friendly" rooms available in the town. I wouldn't stay here again with (or without) a pet.
