Drake Devonshire and Motor Inn

Found the perfect place on the shores of Lake Ontario. We googled “Oysters” in Prince Edward County and the Drake Devon popped up. The PEI Raspberry Points were outstanding! Next thing you know we were booking a room. The bonfire at night was the cherry on top!

I have read the reviews, and I must say, I wonder whether I stayed at the same place as those reviewers. On arrival we were underwhelmed. You park in the parking lot of the hotel, and firstly there was music blaring there. Then we went in and arrived (around 3 pm) in this crowded and congested area, which includes reception, a sitting area, and the wait area for the dining area, plus a flow through to the stairwell to the hotel rooms. No big deal, but not inviting. We went up to our room, and for 500.00$, even though the hotel is on the lake...the window looked out on a wall! And of course, no view, and no natural light. We wanted to dine in the restaurant. It is very popular, and not exclusive to the hotel guests. We were lucky to get a table. Food was good, service was good but counting on dropping a couple of $100.00 there. Most of the wine offered is local, as is the food. Food issues were pleasantly accommodated. Breakfast was not of interest, as we eat more simply than what was offered Coffee great at 7am available in the lobby, and guests can go down in their pyjamas if they like. Staff was pleasant. Decor over the top in the rooms. Comfy bed, terrible chairs, and TV good, but no TV guide available. Missing also were instructions to manage ventilation, and the bathroom light and hallway light were on the same switch???

I stayed here for just a little weekend get away, and Steph was so incredibly sweet and helpful. She went above and beyond letting me know about all of the cool things to do in the area, and helping me out with my lugage. Thank you so much Steph, I can't wait to come back.
