The photo on the Expedia website is deceptive. The property is not attractive and feels like a motel. The door to the bathroom was a barn door that kept sliding open. The restaurant on the first floor pumped out a very heavy odor of bacon cooking. No elevator, we had a third floor walk up. There was an outdoor music venue somewhere close with very loud amplifiers. Music alternated between very loud rock and equally loud accordion polkas. Yes you read that right. Accordion polkas. Between the stink from bacon cooking, the music, and constant traffic noise we couldn’t keep the window open. No A/C of course. The room had a fan. There was an analog clock on the wall with the wrong time.

The views were amazing. The hotel itself is old and therefore although maintained well enough, could def use an upgrade. Low season staffing meant self checkin after 5 pm.The room was small, outside access with no elevator, and well below the usual standards for the high cost. You are paying for location only, not accommodations standards.

Upgraded to a balcony. Lovely room, view of mountains and creekside. No air conditioning, something to keep in mind in summer. They do provide a fan. Only 2 cups and 2 coffee pouches. Not enough for our stay. We had arranged to meet my brother/ nephew and couldn't offer a drink. The office closed at 5 so unable to request more. No breakfast available.

We stayed at the Drake Inn for 3 nights over the long weekend. Check in was easy and staff were friendly and helpful with restaurant suggestions. Our room was great. It was a good size with 2 queens, 2 desks/tables with chairs, and a lounge chair. It also had a fridge and coffee maker. The sink is outside the washroom as others have mentioned and we found this very convenient. Someone can be getting ready, even if washroom is in use! The balcony was private, and had an amazing view of Policeman Creek and mountains. We could hear the creek gurgling as we relaxed in the outdoor chairs and table provided. We heard none of the bar noise that some mention but we were on the otherside of building. The only negative I would say is that the rooms are a bit tired, however everything works, beds are very comfortable and there is lots of hot water. The slider screen door did not have a lock, which would be appreciated as this door needs to be left open at night to cool the room. Fan provided was efficient and quiet, but having patio door open is still needed. Overall a great stay and we look forward staying here again!

The view of the mountains and the creek was beautiful. The evening breeze was lovely. Things were clean and tidy. In my opinion, other negative reviews are too harsh. There was plenty of parking available when we checked in on time, and we still found a spot after having an early dinner. Was able to stay in the parking lot a bit longer after checkout for shopping as well, without an issue.
