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!!

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!

Mixed experience….
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.

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!

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!

Wonderful
We stayed one night while attending a wedding at the Drake Devonshire (which we’ve also stayed at a few times and love!). We wanted to try out the Motor Inn this time and it was fab. Our only regret was that we barely spent any time in the awesome room during our stay. Bed was super comfy, room was clean and we will definitely be back

Awesome! Even with our dog!
Room was lovely! We didnt feel like 2nd class citizens because we had our dog with us. They also accomodated us for dinner on the patio. Wonderful visit!

Very convenient location, gorgeous room & great staff.
I would have liked a kettle or coffee maker in the room as the coffee delivered to our building tho’ a nice touch was lukewarm even at 7am & no microwave to reheat it..

Great for a little getaway! Love the details with the Drake motor inn. They had a bonfire set up and they gave us a free s’mores kit which was really nice. Whenever we needed something, we would text the reception and they would get things to us speedily. Great for a friends giveaway.

Lovely hotel, but noisy
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.

I liked the room but it was up the street not attached to restaurant. Food is great . You hear everything in rooms , late night partners beside us… we had to text at 2:00 in the am to get help! expensive rooms!

Perfect spot for a getaway!
The room was beautifully decorated with a retro-chic aesthetic. Loved the coziness of the room and common area. Unfortunately, I took a star off for the king sized bed. It was too soft and there were noticeable indentations from prior use. This place is dog friendly if you’ve got a fur baby!

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.

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.
