our stay was just as great as we had experienced before, their front desk staff and manager on shift was professional in handling a little hiccup in our checking in through a third party provider ... but things got resolved within minutes ....
the surrounding was beautiful, the decor is totally our fav .... just an amazing and happy feeling to stay at the Drake Devonshire and the Drake Motor Inn.
Highly recommend

A great stay

The room was very clean upon arrival, and the staff were exceptionally friendly and accommodating throughout our stay. The shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and lotion were lovely and smelled wonderful, which was a nice touch.
The air conditioning worked very well, but unfortunately it blew directly on me all night, making it difficult to get a good night's sleep. We were also disappointed that there was no complimentary bottled water in the room. We were told to get water downstairs, but since no container was provided, we had to use the ice bucket.
The two cookies at check-in for a family of four were a nice gesture, although more would have been appreciated. The bite-sized scones offered in the morning were delicious, but they could have been a little larger.
When booking as a family travelling with children, it would also be helpful if the \"Jems\" box were placed out of sight of curious kids.
The food in the main dining room was okay, but nothing particularly memorable. While there are shops nearby, they don't offer the same charm or variety as those in Niagara-on-the-Lake, making the high room rates harder to justify.
Overall, we had a pleasant stay thanks to the cleanliness of the room and the excellent staff, but the cost for a single night was extremely high. Given the location and surrounding area, I don't feel the experience justified the premium price.

So relaxing

A very lovely stay, everyone was amazing, front desk to restaurant staff, we had the best time, we’ll be back! Shout out to Kiki for treating our Pup Marlie like a Queen , and for all the bacon and great suggestions :)
Melanie
Lovely hotel and spot.
Carol
Sofa was uncomfortable and nothing else to sit on except the bed. Room was over-priced for the quality.
Tracy
Nice!
Maryanne
Super friendly at reception for check-in. Stayed at the Motor Inn, the room was a very spacious and loved all the attention to detail - not to mention the welcome fresh baked cookies and the morning delivery to our door of fresh baked scones!
Adriana
Yes clean room great staff
Holly
Great room and fantastic staff.
Jody
The front desk was very friendly and the room was very nice! The only thing was that we were unaware the the motor Inn portion is not on Lake Ontario...I was a little disappointed in that.
Jeff
The room was clean, but definitely not worth the price charged. Cheap furniture, poorly stocked self service machines. (Children's pop rocks were 10.00 CAD!) In room amenities were more like a 2 star motor inn. No microwave. Fridge was tiny with no room to place our bought beverages. Rem
Three or four snacks in room, with a 36 g bag of Hawkins Cheezies going for 8.00 CAD. Way beyond a reasonable convenience markup. Unbelievable. Front desk indicated light breakfast scones would be outside the door each morning. First night yes, second night no. Consistency and attention to detail does matter.

Room was clean. Amenities were more like a 2 star motel, and the room was significantly overpriced. In room conveniences were ridiculously overpriced. 36 g bag of Hawkins Cheezies for 8.00. Tiny bag of nuts that are sold in Dollarama for 1.25 were 10.00. Front desk offerred complementary cookies, but they were hard and stale. Will not be a repeat customer.

Room was big but bathroom toilet seems like public bathroom. We had 3 people staying but slippers and towels were do only 2 people
Richard
Staff very attentive and helpful
Andy
Loaction and decor were great.
Walter
EV chargers broken and scarce
Reception far from room in the rain; no umbrellas.
Room rather austere, not luxurious in line with price point.

The queen-bed room was small but efficient with a glass partition between bathroom and the room. Staff was very friendly and the restaurant excellent with a beautiful view of the lake. The main disappointment was that we were staying at the Drake Motor Inn and the view was that of the parking lot. I have known that there will be no lake views but when going to the county, I didn't expect to have a view of a parking lot for over $600 per night. I would triple check with the hotel about which room I am getting if I were to ever stay there again.
kelly
The Motel is nice, we had many problems getting into our room as the door was locked and key did not work. It was hard to find the room and you were on your own getting there. There could have been coffee in the common area? The restaurant is amazing with wonderful food staff and seating.
Pietro
Pleasant long weekend get-away
We enjoyed our stay at the Drake Devonshire and Motor Inn. Friendly and efficient staff at the Inn and restaurant made the stay pleasant. The room was clean and comfortable, nice amenities including a tablet to help search for things to do in and around the county. WiFi was available and worked, but a bit slow. WiFi being important since the cellular signals in the area was weak. We enjoyed breakfast (twice) and dinner at the inn. Quality, taste and presentation of the meals were excellent. As we drove over 360km in an Electric Vehicle (EV), the availability of EV charging stations was important. Use was on a first come first serve basis, which worked fine for us, however, one of the two EV charging stations was out of service, potentially making this a challenge if many visitors were at the Inn with EVs. The Inn is well located in Wellington, very close to a grocery store, sandwich, coffee and ice cream shops as well as some art and antique shops in the area. Overall a very positive experience.

Excellent stay, wish we had more time in the area!
Neeraj
Excellent property, very well done rooms and friendly staff!
Carol
Although it Raj Ed all day the friendly staff, beautiful location and excellent food are a plus. Discovered a games room which is fun
Sofia
Good, but room was noisy from people in the lobby.
Julie
Room was spacious and quiet. Great location.
Katie
An interaction with a staff member
April
Fab spot!
Sabrina
For the price, the service level is just not there, nor is the room cleanliness. There was black mold in the shower, spider webs and dust on shelves.
Shamli
A beautiful hotel in PEC and close by to wineries, fantastic restaurants, local cocktail bars. The property is fantastic for a girls trip weekend!
Casandra
We loved this cute funky little hotel. It is apart of the “Drake Devonshire” but it is up the street on its own, more quaint and quiet, and is seriously dog friendly! When we checked in our room was equipped with 2 dog bowls and a cute pack of treats for him. We will certainly be back!
Deborah
The staff were amazing, the room was so clean, the food was great, the vibe was so nice and we would stay there again for sure
Sandra
The room itself was really modern, large and clean. We stayed in the flat. Very nice. However, when I booked the room, I didn’t realize that this room was not located in the Drake Devonshire property. It’s actually up the street. Not waterfront. That’s on me for not researching thoroughly, I guess. We had dinner at the restaurant and it was a lovely setting and the food and drinks were very good. The service was excellent also. All in all, we enjoyed our stay.
Tobi
Amazing staff, property and room. All around a fantastic choice for anyone staying in the County.
Adriana
Room and bathroom are starting to look dated. Considering the price, it’s underwhelming
John

Great friendly service. They care about their guests and it shows
Dennis
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!
DAVID
Property very accessible to shops and food.
Melissa
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!!

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.
Hayley
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.
Elisa
Loved our stay with our furry pet! Will come back again!
Amanda
Very spacious room, worth the price with the nice additions like pickleball, ping pong, fresh cookies and croissants every day.
David
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.

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!!!
Michael
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!
