"The view from the room was amazing."
Situated merely a 10-minute stroll from the Policeman's Creek Boardwalk, the 2-star smoke-free The Drake Inn Canmore features Wi-Fi in public areas, and parking on site. This Canmore hotel, offering event rooms and an event space, is located 2.1 km from the Highline Trail.
Location

Leisure & Business
Live music and a nightclub are offered too. With a golf course, guests can stay fit at the Drake Inn.
“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.”
