The location is convenient, walkable shops and restaurants, bus routes nearby. It's affordable if you just need a place to stay for the basics, don't expect luxury at all or a perfect room. A lot of the lamps didn't have bulbs, but they gave me a few. Staff are pretty decent. Rooms could be cleaner. They seem to have some random woman they came across rushing to clean the rooms, but she's nice. The hot tub was what I needed, so it was kind of expensive for the type of hotel it is for that specific room, but the other rooms are more affordable. A certain caliber of people seem to stay there because it's affordable.

The Drake Inn is a bit rundown - but it's what I expected of a 'vintage' hotel. The staff were very helpful - and Lennie (from housekeeping) was the best!
