“In my opinion, this inn's prime location on Canmore's main street, steps from the river and best spots, is a major draw; plus, the staff's hospitality makes a real difference. While it might show some wear, the clean, comfortable rooms with firm beds offer excellent value, especially given Canmore's prices, and I find that the lively bar downstairs is a definite plus.”

Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Drake Inn enjoys a very central location in Canmore, making it easy to walk to the main street and explore downtown. Many guests were treated to incredible mountain views right from their rooms, and free parking is a definite plus. The rooms are generally spacious, and some have noted the convenience of having a mini-fridge; a few guests found the rooms somewhat dated, however.
