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.

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!

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!

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!

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

Because I booked on Expedia none of the contactless check in process worked - this should be rectified. The mattress in the pull out bed was horrible - ended up putting it in the floor. Drake should do better.

I appreciated the effort put into making the Drake Motor Inn cool to look at in photos, it’s fun and kitschy to see. The room itself was quite basic. The bathrooms might have seemed like a good idea on paper but the glass door means you have no privacy and the door is open air at the top so all manner of sound and smell can be witnessed from the bedroom area. Some things should just be ideas-they don’t work for life. The experience down at Devonshire is probably far superior to the motor inn experience; there is no front desk there or staff to answer questions. The phone, tv and Wi-Fi were all non-functional so no way to call the front desk at the Devonshire to get help, and our phones didn’t get cell signal inside the room. The front desk at Devonshire never once answered our call live, we had to leave a message and wait for a return call. We even tried emailing them to get a response and the answers were delayed by a long wait. They finally told us the whole building was without internet services and there was no ETA. It looked as though it had been out for several days but no effort was made to tell us until we asked for it to be fixed. The room had a vast supply of minibar items including candy, drinks and wine but there was no price list to be found to determine what charges you’d find on your card afterward. Overall would never stay again or recommend for the price. (400/night)
