First, the PROS: the staff is amazing and very helpful. The dining area in the hotel, the menu and food quality are top notch. Stunning view when no fog. CONS: this hotel screams for an overall renovation. Old smelly carpets, doors and windows outdated. Shower (room 9) can't mix hot and cold water simultaneously; I took a bath instead, filling 1/2 tub with hot, then cold. Steep gravel driveway (900lbs motorcycle) leading to the also graveled and bumpy parking once arrived on top. Wheelchairs, good luck; no accessibility either. No bashing here, just plain truth.

The property was overall good. We would have liked that the restaurant closed later so we could eat something after our late afternoon whale tour. Also the water was not consistent, it was hot for like a minute, then cold, then again hot, maybe because some other rooms were using the water. But overall we liked the hotel.

Such a quiet peaceful lodge, we had a lovely one night stay while we were on the island. Close to all the lighthouses on the island, stunning views all around and the restaurant had amazing food. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED, we had the best time and we will be back!

Upon arrival and receiving key for room, room was a dump, bed was more like a cot with a mattress that must have been on the bed from the 80s.The room and bathroom was damp and hasn’t been touched in decades. Upgraded room cost $340. 00 per night. Advise anyone that is planning on visiting Briar Island to not even think of staying at this location. If visiting, make sure it’s only for a day trip and return on ferries to mainland. Highway robbery.

The room we had was OK but there was no shower curtain in the bathroom so we had to request one. Also, later we noticed the door to the room, which had a window facing the parking lot, had no curtain or privacy screen. There was no way to hang anything over the window either so anyone walking by could see directly into our room. The restaurant was great, the food was excellent! We mentioned the issue with the door to the staff when checking out.

Repeat customer but not at all happy with recent stay . The bedding was all wrinkled ,seemed clean but did not look great.All pictures had been removed from walls leaving screws or picture hangers . Had earwigs in cot brought to room with 'suspect' bedding. Also had à few ants in queen beds. Overall the room did not give me a sense that anyone cared about the customer experience. Brought all this to owners attention and received a less than interested or valid response ,removed pictures were from artist who wanted them back and working with new artist thus no pictures? Seems like lots of simple solutions that could have improved the visual of this room clearly no effort made to do anything . Again shows little, if any concern for the customer experience. The 'sorry' from the owner did not at all seem sincere . Very disappointed! Too bad this used to be a nice place to stay on this beautiful island.

We enjoyed our stay at the Brier Island Lodge. The staff were friendly and helpful. The restaurant had good food, although an included breakfast would have been good. We had only one issue - the hot/cold in our shower was erratic, but we where upgraded to a superior room in a newer section of the Lodge. Staff advised the lodge was addressing the issue. Unfortunately it was too foggy during our visit to see the ocean view from the hotel.
