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.

Nice folks at the front desk. Clean room. Desperately needs a facelift as far as painting and floors outside and general dirtiness. It was quiet though. I was surprised being next to a rowdy bar.

The view was spectacular. Such a great location to downtown. A bit of traffic noise but quiet when traffic slowed at night. Would recommend this hotel.

The location is excellent, but it went downhill from there. The pictures were misleading, there is not elevator, and the overall property condition was bad, it needs a remodel. Our room did not have AC and it was a hot day. There was a stand fan in the room but it made a load clicking noise all of the time and through the night. There was a live band playing from 10PM-2AM and since we needed to leave our balcony slider open because of the heat, it made it almost impossible to sleep, even with ear plugs that we had. If all you are looking for is place to sleep and close to downtown, this hotel will work. Other than that, I would not stay there.

It has convenient location but the price is very high for the simplicity of the property. No glasses for beverages. Plastic caps in wash area, paper caps for coffee - cheap.
