Reviews of Drake Devonshire and Motor Inn

Lakefront

Tacky enterance

the hotel was clean kid friendly and staff were great! The location was nice the rooms were big at the Motor Inn.

The internet service in the area was not great! and we lost our internet at night when we were trying to watch a movie.

Great location, friendly staff

Location is central, convenient overall. Parking is easy.

Place wasn’t cleaned well. Trash can had previous trash, we found hair, the sheets seemed slightly dusty. Next to parking lot so you hear work sounds or cars in the AM if you want to sleep in a bit. We got the theme, but it didn’t work for us. Perhaps Devonshire would be different vs the Motor inn, so do your research unlike us as Booking.com joins the two for initial offers. The other reviews were accurate for the Motor inn. Unfortunately, disappointing for us.

Location, facilities, sauna, and restaurant

Staff overall weren’t the most hospitable. For the cost and hotel brand, there is definitely plenty more room to improve. Of course there were exceptions and a couple that felt that were going above.

I found the bed to be extremely soft, hard to believe anyone would like it that soft. Woke up in a lot of pain which is not normal...

The restaurant with view on the lake is superb. Francis, the sommelier provided interesting cues as to what local wines would fit the best with our meal. On the following morning, the sunny day breakfast view was stunning.

The small room at the Motor Inn with the view on the parking is quite small, but still OK. It is a bit misleading to realize that there is 2 buildings when you look at the pictures on the web site and Trip Advisor. The price, for the time of year and the type of room is a bit high to my standards.

Location and staff extremely helpful.

On arrival we we're told by the reception "your room is across the road and around the back of the shops!!!!! Needless to say that was appalling as the room was facing a carpark rubbish bins and an industrial unit!!!! Bearing in mind we booked the drake Devonshire for it's amazing lake location this was totally unacceptable. The reception staff said it was booking.coms fault as they don't put the correct pictures on the website. Is that my problem!!!!? NO ITS NOT. It was decided to move us to the actual hotel.

I was mislead by you on the room I was expecting I booked 4 months ago when your site showed a different room for the price I paid. Since then prices have increased and we were given a different room with only a shower I always ask fir a bath

Liked the location

Staff, cleanliness, not worth the price and service took a hit. Also lacks the small attentions they used to bave

Loved the location. Very central to a lot we wanted to do in the county.

My only criticism were the doors. All seemed difficult to close fully and the one door leading to outside never seemed to fully lock. Other than that it was wonderful

All the staff were great

Location of room was not good and bathroom wall was glass with stickers which you could see through and open at the top so you can hear and smell the bathroom

Room was a good size. It was clean. The staff were friendly. The view of the lake from the hotel restaurant was great. The view of the street and parking lot from the room was not so great.

The Drake provided no idea on how to check in upon arrival except by signing up for an app, which I did not want. Check in was in or a separate building. It took a phone call, and a five-minute wait before someone answered, to check in. The meals were underwhelming — not cooked as requested and pedestrian. Overall, the meal quality was poor. The air conditioner in the room was loud and had one setting — cold or off. The room refrigerator made noises all night.
