Best location at Brier Island for whale watching
Best location for overnight stay to be able to do whale watching the next day at Brier Island, considering you’d have to leave on time to catch 2 ferries that are on hourly schedules. Awesome food!

Island sunsets
This was my second stay here, 16 years apart. The lodge is up above the town, easy to get to from the ferry if you're driving (or in my case bicycling). Room was basic, but clean and it was very nice to be able to open the second door leading directly outside for catching the breeze. Onsite restaurant was tasty and even without reservations, the hostess was able to seat me. Hoping it won't be another 16 years before my next visit.

Nice view
The room was fine. Wish they could have emptied the garbage cans before we arrived. Others garbage left a lot to be desired. No tv was interesting. Shower was okay when the hot was working. Bed was extremely comfortable Staff and view was best part. Breakfast was good but super pricey for what you got.

The Lodge has obviously been newly upgraded and looks good. The bathroom door didn't close properly and there was only one roll of toilet paper. Luckily we didn't need more! The tap in the sink was dirty, only the handle had been wiped. There were no cups/mugs for the coffee/tea that was available in the room, and no creamers had we been able to make some. The restaurant was nice, the service was very good too.

The location was great and so were the staff. We stayed in a lodge room. Very small. No tv and few outlets. After one shower there was no hot water for quite awhile. Restuarant food was good. Overall it was an ok stay. I wanted to be on the island and I was. I would stay again but maybe in one of the newer buildings.
