Drake Devonshire and Motor Inn

A surprise 20th anniversary getaway took us to the Drake Devonshire in PEC for the weekend. We stayed two nights in one of the Creekside rooms (room 103) which had lovely views of the creek and lake. The room was spacious enough for the two of us and the bed was comfortable, even though it was a queen (king sized bed is a preferred choice). We did notice that the room/area attached to our room was quite noisy with doors slamming later into the night. The hotel team heard our concern and recognized the inconvenience, which was very thoughtful of them. Bathroom amenities were nice fragrances and good quality. There were nice touches in the room to show recognition of our anniversary celebration (bottle of wine, homemade chocolate bar, note and balloon). We liked the coffee/tea and croissant station off the lobby each morning. Also the fresh cookies each afternoon in our room each day were delicious! We ate all of our meals at the restaurant and absolutely loved the views, food, servers and atmosphere!! The starter buratta cheese special was top notch! The cocktails each evening at dinner were fantastic! Special shout out to Kiki and Damian for being so friendly and knowledgeable. I feel terrible for not remembering our server’s name on Friday night, but he was a wonderful worker and super personable. Kiki we really appreciated your sense of humour, interest in how we were enjoying our stay and the passion for your job! Thank you for a wonderful weekend away!

We had a fabulous lunch on the patio by the lake! The food was delicious and the service was excellent! Megan was out server and she was very attentive and so friendly and personable. I had the eggs benny with smoked trout - fabulous! And my partner had the eggs rancheros - delicious and such a creative presentation. We can’t wait to go back!

Victoria at the front desk made all of us feel right at home from the moment we walked in. We were celebrating a friends 50th birthday and she really appreciated all the extra, little touches, a special note and a few litte treats. Friendly staff, comfortable beds creative decor, ping pong, sauna and cold plunge, all made our stay very fun and memorable. Supper and brunch were exquisite as well.
