Drake Motor Inn

Great friendly service. They care about their guests and it shows

Great town for short stay

A picturesque and peaceful location on the shores of Lake Ontario. There was ample parking on site with a small stream passing under a walkway to the sauna close by. Our room was charming and comfortable with a walkout balcony and seating facing west, overlooking the stream and lake. A perfect place to view the sunset while having a relaxing discussion of the day's activities and a glass of wine. Several indoor and outdoor activities were available, including a ping pong table and a table hockey game, beside a comfortable sitting room with a warm fireplace. The restaurant was spacious with spectacular views of the beach and extensive Lake Ontario. The service was friendly and the food was excellent. Our visit was too brief, however, we left completely rejuvenated, pleased with our stay, and looking forward to returning later in the year.

Will not be coming back. The food and restaurant staff were good, and the room was nice with a comfortable bed. However, the room was beside part of the kitchen. It was extremely loud with slamming doors until almost midnight, and started up again both Saturday and Sunday mornings at 4:45am. We did advise staff and they said they could clear the area, they certainly didn’t seem surprised by the complaint so I suspect this isn’t a unique issue. They did get the staff to stop after 20 minutes, but it didn’t stop them from starting again a few hours later. If you value a good sleep on vacation this isn’t the place for you!

Property very accessible to shops and food.

Stayed at the motor inn and it was exceptional! Location is excellent (a two minute walk to the lake, beside a brewery with great food and two great cafes, plus a number of other restaurants), the property and rooms are well decorated and beautiful, and the staff is so welcoming and accommodating. Will be back!!

After visiting the Drake Devonshire previously for dinner years ago we were excited to stay at the inn for the long weekend to celebrate a big birthday. We were a bit disappointed to find our room was 1.5 blocks away from the quaint waterfront property in the Motor Inn. We didn’t feel like this was clearly noted on hotels.com and this part of the hotel didn’t seem worth the price tag. We don’t get housekeeping the whole time we were there even though we were out all day, they asked if the could clean around 4pm but we were back to get ready for dinner. We did enjoy the games, sauna and waterfront down the street though and had a lovely dinner at the Devonshire. Wouldn’t return to the Motor Inn though.

Our stay at the drake was very nice. The room was spacious and clean, however just a few things fell short. First off, on our booking it said we were supposed to get coffee and pastries every morning which never happened. Not sure if it was our responsibility to order them or not but regardless we weren’t informed of it upon arrival. We also noticed mould in the shower on the ceiling. The mini fridge also kept toppling over due to being too large for the console table it was on and spilling its contents out. The remote also didn’t work for Netflix which was kind of annoying. My Expedia booking also said my remaking balance was $1800 something and ended up paying $2100 so I’m not sure why there were extra charges or why I wasn’t informed of them ahead of time. Otherwise our stay was nice, the area was easy to navigate, however it was way overpriced for what it was worth. I’d probably just book an air bnb next time.

Loved our stay with our furry pet! Will come back again!

Very spacious room, worth the price with the nice additions like pickleball, ping pong, fresh cookies and croissants every day.

The Drake Devonshire is gloriously situated on the northern shores of Lake Ontario and it is a very good looking and well appointed hotel with very attentive staff. We truly enjoyed our meals on the patio overlooking the lake, they were delicious. And the service was excellent. However, our room - in the main part of the hotel - was not adequately sound proof. Until about 10:30-11pm there was music from the ubiquitous speakers spread throughout the property and at about 5-6 am the next morning asking with a truck idling outside while making a delivery there was the almost constant chatter from some voices outside our room (staff? early rising guests? I dunno). It didn't help that the games room was essentially right outside our door... Anyhow, if we return, week definitely ask for another, quieter room.

Wonderful location in Wellington. The staff at the front desk and restaurant were wonderful and super accomodating. The rooms are spacious with thoughful touches. I've stayed here before and would absolutely stay here again!!!

We enjoyed our night at the Drake Devonshire, front desk was very welcoming (as was the parking attendant). Wait staff in the bar/restaurant was great! very nice! We stayed in the very first room on the main floor at the entrance, which I'm assuming is part of the old house - it was nicely renovated and large enough for us. Only downside to that room is that its right at the front entrance so often people/kids were coming in and out and you could hear them just outside our door - very busy spot. The landscaping was beautiful, lakeside was nice! We would def go back!

Amazing

Had an amazing time and very impressed but the effort of the staff to make sure we enjoyed our stay. They even brought up a complimentary bottle of wine for my partner’s birthday which was very thoughtful. Thank you!

Given the brand and rates, our expectations were fairly high. The main issue with the room was cleanliness. The floor had not been mopped in a while, and the outdoor furniture was caked in dust and cobwebs. The front desk staff encouraged us to use the table in the room to communicate with them, but the tablet charger was broken. We also selected the Motor Inn because it is dog friendly (albeit for an extra $65/day fee), but were disappointed to find out this essentially meant dogs were only tolerated in the room itself. All common areas were off limits for our 5lbs, quiet and well behaved dog, which made it very difficult to enjoy the various amenities that were included in the expensive nightly rate.

This hotel can use a slight make over.. the rooms are a little out dated for what they charge. Staff were ok. The only nice thing about this property is that its situated on a nice lake!

Had a great stay! Great location to explore Prince Edward County

Friendly staff, including front desk, and servers. Very clean, and well maintained property, both interior and exterior. Room was a vibe, and the complimentary cookies were a delightful surprise. The amenities & lounge was a bonus with a very cozy and welcoming feel. Last but not least, thank you for an early check-in!

Very Nice and clean !
