Drake Motor Inn

Absolutely no better place to when in PEC. The rooms are large, clean, and very well equipped. The location is bang on and the staff are excellent! The bathrooms were clean and well stocked with all of the essentials you need while travelling.

Our stay at Drake Motor Inn was absolutely fantastic! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by a reception team and manager who exuded warmth and hospitality. Their genuine interest in engaging us in conversation made us feel incredibly welcome.As travelers with a pet, we were delighted to find that Drake Motor Inn is pet-friendly. The spacious rooms provided ample space for our furry friend to relax, and being just minutes away from the lake made it the perfect location for scenic walks and outdoor activities.We can't wait to return for another fantastic stay!

We stayed mid-week October and couldn't have picked a better time of year - OFF SEASON really is amazing or a better place as home base for a few days. Our room was #3 in the green building and was a STUDIO KING on the first floor. Has a cute little porch with a swing and had it been a bit warmer would have loved to have enjoyed a drink on our little patio. There was very little noise from anywhere else either in the building or around the property. The app access worked for my husband, but not I due to my phone being 'too' up to date for the key app, so not a big deal, but a bit annoying. The room has a fun, funky and cozy vibe. The shower is large and you can enjoy both a rain shower or hand held, but the best part is the toiletries both in the shower and at the sink - such a great perk and really great quality products (especially as i have long thick hair and the shampoo/conditioner worked very well). The bed and linens were soft and the pillows provided great support - that's always a worry. The welcome cookies were a lovely touch. We enjoyed being able to walk down to the Devonshire for breakfast each morning. We would definitely return as it's a great location with such a fun vibe, the room was everything we needed.

Nice room but probably twice as expensive as should be. Disappointed with the scone “breakfast”, we had to share 3 small dry pieces amongst 4 guests. No staff at the site. AC super loud but no ability to open windows for airflow when switched off.

This is a 4.5 star rating. Stayed at the STUDIO KING room #10. This room is located in the blue building which is the colourful one you see behind the Drake Motor Inn Sign. Only four other rooms occupy this building and so you won’t see too much foot traffic besides the other guests staying at the Inn. This room is very spacious and has its own large porch that faces Wharf Street. It’s also pretty quiet given that it faces a residential area and although the near the brewery, noise was never an issue and overall it was a very pleasant stay. Positives: - very clean and modern/trendy - huge washroom and shower area - great art in the room, halls, surrounding area - location is steps to great restaurants the water, markets etc - communal area for each building and between buildings is great to hangout and sheltered if the weather is raining. - linens were clean and very comfortable - nice welcome cookies and very attentive staff via the app/text messages and at the Devonshire - complimentary morning coffee is a great way to start the day - bathroom toiletries smelled great - phone app key system worked really well - lots of parking spaces Negatives (which are very minor) - shower water pressure is good but nothing like you would get at home - mattress is lumpy (I believe by design cause it’s a fancy mattress brand) just a preference. The communal spaces and intimacy of the inn made this such a great experience. It was nice to meet other guests by the fire pit and share and swap tips about restaurants and wineries. Given how central and great the location is the inn it also served as a meeting hub for friend staying in other parts of the county. The overall atmosphere you get as soon as you walk into your room and relax on your private porch is well worth the price paid and it would be a recommend to anyone looking for a unique experience in Wellington.

This is the perfect place for a weekend getaway clean, very comfortable, and the staff was amazing. They went above and beyond to help make our stay enjoyable. I have stayed at dozen of hotels around the province and I highly recommend this place.

We returned to our favourite spot in PEC. Our first visit in March was amazing. We wanted to experience the area in the summer. So glad we did. The Motor Inn was fantastic in the summer. Loved the friendly staff and the great service. Worth the trip and the $$. Thank you Patricia and staff for another wonderful stay. See you again soon.

Basic accommodation for luxury price. The room was clean it had a cute balcony but it overlooked a rough road and the back of a butchers shop. The blinds had to be kept done for privacy so no natural light. The first morning I woke up to a cow mooing as it awaited its fate. The stairs to the room are steep and not easy to manage with a bag. The TV produced white snow, help arrived but after he left it returned to snow. We stayed two nights the room was not cleaned nor were the towels changed. When I complained I was told it was up to me to tell the staff that I needed the room cleaned. That’s a first. I was refunded for the lack of cleaning.all this for the princely sum of $579/night no breakfast included. In my mind this is gouging.

We had a really lovely stay at the Drake Motor Inn. The decor is on-point, the pillows and linens were top-notch. There was even hot coffee waiting for us in the common room in the morning. It’s very close to the water and the main Drake hotel.
