Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort
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!
It was fun clean and close to downtown the staff was friendly and helpful and we loved the pool. I'm so glad I chose the Drake motel will stay there again or will be my first choice! Loved it. Very cute place too
