When trying to sleep there were loud people next door and the walls are not thick enough to stop sounds from coming through. This made it difficult to sleep. Other members of my party were in different rooms and also had this issue. When taking a shower the water temperature is great until someone else turns on a shower and then you get scaulded I was not impressed by this.

I stayed here last week with my sister and I will not return.Our first room was discusting and in this time of Covid the least I can expect is a clean bed. The bed had long hairs in it and the bathroom had hair on the floor...not head hair.We had a coffee maker that had written on the top of it ,right on the machine..works..in black marker We got moved to another room which was better but when I woke up and looked out the window there were hairs stuck to the glass of the window.We paid a lot of money for hhis room abd in hind sight we should have left. Be careful on the steps too if you are on the second floor.The railings are rusty and peeling and taped with black tape.Also the stairs are definately not to code because your foot doesnt even fit on them. oh yes..no tv either I have never written a bad review before but I feel especially in these times with Covid ,its not too much to ask for clean.Forget Covid for a minute...I expect clean On a positive note,the restaurant was excellant,! Fish and chips are a must order…

We stayed here for two days while we whale watched and visited friends. The rooms are comfortable and clean. The Inn is quiet and the staff both friendly and efficient. The food was good and the servers did a great job interacting with the clients. There are trails near the Lodge that you can easily hike and it is a short walk into the community of Westport.

We stayed at the Brier Island Lodge August 3-4. I booked online with no problem. We knew from the Lodge’s website and Tripadvisor that it was an older spot and there were no TV’s or air conditioning. There was internet, which I had expected to be spotty but it turned out to work great. We watched hockey on my iPad no problem. We booked a king room and were assigned to room 18. The room was on the second floor with water views. When we arrived it was quite foggy, so much so that our whale watching trip was postponed to the following morning. When it finally cleared up later in the evening our view was fantastic. The room had a good mini-fridge and a fan. There was a coffee maker as well. Ours didn’t look very clean so we didn’t use it. The room had a table and a lazy boy, which my husband may have liked a little too much. The room was basic, but honestly it’s all we needed. Friendly staff and a great home base for exploring the island. Checking in and out was a breeze. We ate at the restaurant for supper and breakfast, both meals were good. Wait staff was excellent. Manage your expectations, go prepared and this is a gem of a spot. …

IMO it is important to clearly SET EXPECTATIONS on the booking web page: what physical items does the extra expense of a kitchenette room include ? For a 2 occupancy room on the website list the STANDARD items included. E.G.: number of heating surfaces/burners included upon check-in, 2 spoons, 2 bowls (e.g. for cereal), 2 forks and 2 serrated knives (e.g. for chopping, breakfast or dinner), a 6 liter pot (pasta & sauce), a frying pan (blueberry pancakes), 2 drinking glasses, 2 coffee mugs, tea towel, dish cloth, dish soap. It's not so much a matter of "we can get these to you as requested" but knowing what is the "standard inventory checklist". For the Lodge and customers alike. BTW, aluminum pans don't work on an induction cooktop. Needs to be ferrous/magnetic. Otherwise you end up trying to flip blueberry pancakes in a 6L pot at 7:30 am. It's comical, but it can be done. Very helpful and patient staff.…
