Pros:

Older rooms but everything needed was provided including extra bedding, heating and fan and very clean and comfortable.
Fridge made noises but turning it off was all it needed.
The walls could be sound proofed. The man next door snored all night!
Breakfast was very good.
Wine had a big mark up price. Take your own!
Receptionist was friendly and helpful.

Pros:

The location was centrally located on Brier Island. The check-in staff was friendly and accommodating. The room was as advertised. We had dinner on the property. My husband's meal was not the proper temperature. The server walked to the kitchen and then returned the plate to the table. The food had not been heated. When the plate was returned the 2nd time, it was extremely hot. The breakfast server and meal were great.

Was very comfortable
Pros:

Stayed here so we could do whale watching cruise and the people were very helpful and friendly. The restaurant was convenient and very good. The only drawback was no a/c in room but we used the fan provided with open windows and was just fine.

Pros:

A very basic motel-like experience. Rooms with only a coffee machine. Cardboard-like walls with noise fully audible from adjoining rooms. Noisy bathroom fan in a 1950’s bathroom.

Pros:

The property location is wonderful: on a hill in the small remote Village of Westport on Briar Island. The facilities are basic, clean and comfortable. The food is very good and staff is very helpful and friendly. The location is incredible, with scenic beauty!

Pros:

The property has a very scenic view and a good restaurant. Our room on the other hand was disappointing, considering it was one of the most expensive places we stayed at in Nova Scotia. No clock radio or TV or even a box of Kleenex. Very basic. It would have been nice to have a few chairs to sit on outside our unit. Another thing that bothered us is when we paid for the room there was a tip option on the card reader. Never had that before! A $50 tip on a room that was below par. Come on!

Pros:

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.
