What guests think
Painter's Lodge has a scenic waterfront setting with historic character and sweeping views; many guests highlight friendly staff and peaceful grounds, but recurring comments note dated rooms and ongoing renovations, with variable facilities and closures that affect dining and amenities.
Rooms are often spacious with balconies and water views, but many lack air conditioning, have small or awkward bathrooms, and limited soundproofing. Cleanliness and housekeeping are mixed, and service can be friendly yet understaffed, with delayed check-ins and communication issues. The pool and waterfront setting are highlights when available, but hot tubs and some amenities have been out of service during refurbishments. Expect beautiful views and a classic lodge vibe with uneven amenities.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this hotel which is nestled right along the Northeastern coast with amazing views of the water and wildlife. The property is spacious and well-maintained, our room just lacked bug screens on the windows and A/C but at least had a ceiling fan. Since the hotel had recently reopened and was still partially under renovation, there were no food options available on-site and the pier was closed but the pool was open and staff made an effort to offer snacks and drinks in the morning and afternoon. Downtown Campbell River is also just a 10-mins drive away. Highly recommend views from the hotel terrace of bald eagles flying over you or cruise ships gliding past.

It’s such a beautiful location. The pool is great, lodge is beautiful (dated, but beautiful). Staff were friendly. The bathroom seriously needed updating. There was mold on the wallpaper and the tub didn’t look clean, but it was just old. Killer views, lovely architecture and nice staff. Great bang for your buck.

What a beautiful property, so serene and quiet. Well maintained and clean. I wish the hot tubs were in working order when we arrived for our 4 nights. When I called prior to booking the clerk said they were; this is one of the reasons we booked, fingers crossed for next year that they're working. The one thing that should happen is that a complimentary breakfast should be in effect or at least $20/ night food credit. I found the breakfast so astronomically priced the first morning, we ate elsewhere for the other 3 mornings of our stay. Overall a lovely place, the staff were all great.

The ice machines are no longer in the end of each complex. But in the main building up the stairs and down the hall. So ice is a disaster to acquire. No hot tub. There used to be one. But not maintained or functioning?

Lovely place right on the waterfront looking across to Quadra Island. Didn't get time to use the pool but was disappointed that the two hot tub pools were no longer in use. Apart from that small point, we loved our stay here - just wish we had more time there.

The breakfasts were good however main dining room was not in operation for dinner! Happy hour was good. All though they couldn't make a Martini because they did not stock vermouth?! Very nice new pool and surround with outdoor BBQs. No working ice machines accommodation pods. Had to go to main building to get ice. No AC available! In fairness new owners have been only been in charge a few months but signs of improvements evident. I would say avoid this place for a year and check back then as it potentially could be a 4+.

This is a seasonal hotel that has just opening for the summer of 2024. It is a good location if you want to be out the way, but it is quite dated and showing its age. The fact that it just opened for the season radically impaired the dining choices.

Neither of the two dining options listed were open as the desk staff explained they are being renovated and the property will be officially open on July 15th. There was limited wifi and teh continental breakfast was packaged muffins, oranges and sugary granola bars with tea and coffee. We went to town and had a delicious homecooked breakfast at the Ideal Cafe which we would totally recommend. The lobby is lovely and once the property is fully operational I am sure it would be a gorgeous spot.

It seems they are slowly renovating the property, but it was really dated. Bathroom shower was very moldy to the point we chose to skip using it. Overall cleanliness was questionable. Mini kitchen had some things but missed a few basics like knife and dish towel. Nice to have the space of 1 bedroom cabin, but didn’t feel like we got our money’s worth. Staff check in were friendly and warm, but we also had a wait for it to be ready even though we were there at check in time. Deck for restaurant was great to sit and wait with our pup. Had issue with tv input- the guy who came to help resolved but was not terribly friendly/mildly condescending. Note: you need to push input and arrow together to make it work. Place has good bones, but needs work on the basics before focusing on outside of property.

Nice view. No day to day restocking of toiletries, coffee, towels, nor even enough towels for the three of us. Have to go to the front desk and ask for things. Annoying when the property is so big and rooms so far away from the office

Beds were comfy, towels big and plush. However: carpet was stained in many place. Toilet made ongoing strange noises after flush. Fridge/freezer was wheezy and rackety.

The staff were great. The receptionist worked tirelessly with aplomb and friendliness - despite some grumpy people, and being quite busy. The view is lovely, and the activity info was great. I'm not sure if early season hiring etc- but the suite was quite in need of dusting, and cobweb removal. Toothpaste on mirror/ wall/ door from previous guests. Duvet cover on bed rather than on the duvet. There weren't any dish towels or rags available in kitchenette, nor dish rack, which was a bit awkward. The wood accents were pleasant, lots of storage- but main closet door didn't work (slider seemed jammed). Bathroom isn't really feasible to do makeup in with door position and size. This may have been on me, room didn't include a tub, which I thought I had booked (but, not all rooms did, so I may have mis-booked and ocean view rooms don't have tubs). Overall, perhaps a bit pricey for current conditions (if anticipating a functional suite for multi day stay). Would return for view, proximity to highway, and friendly staff (and efficiency of check in/ out & parking!).

This place is kind of a hot mess. Very mixed. The water view rooms in the main lodge have adjoining doors that let all the sound through with no privacy. We had to ask to be moved. And there are no drawers in the rooms so plan to live out of your suitcase. The buildings are nice, the location is awesome on the water. The rooms have limited plugs for charging - expect to be unplugging lamps. The staff was super nice though which was a plus.

I was put in Room 102. The door greeted me like a slap in the face. Half of the wood was peeled off the face of it. Fix the door before you put someone in the room. The room requires renovations, but the view was incredible and it was nice to sit on the patio and enjoy the float planes and boats coming and going. The bathroom sink stunk like sour water. That was a turn off. I had dinner at the pub and they forgot to put through my order. Then when they finally brought it, it was the wrong dish. People make mistakes, but I would have thought my patience would have been more appreciated.

At first checkin with the front desk, room number was illegible. Didn’t check room number on card until we had driven over. Had to drive back to main desk. Got them to clearly write and confirm the room number. Drove to the building. Key doesn’t work. Drove back to reception. Had them rekey the cards. Drove back to the building. This is after carrying luggage up and down the stairs multiple times. Finally into our room. Balcony door doesn’t work. Room hasn’t been updated since the 80s it would seem. Public facing portions of the property look nice. Room we stayed in could use some work. Also train the staff working reception better. Guests should not have to make multiple trips across the property just to get into their room.

Staff was friendly and accommodating (Riley checked me in and was great). Room was clean. The exterior and grounds are in need of some work, but during my visit I could see renos were taking place. The area is beautiful and quiet as its a bit out of town. My only complaint would be is that when calling to reserve a room no one picked up after multiple trys. The answering message directs you to call April point for reservations. April point told me they couldn't help me for painters lodge and to email instead.

The staff were amazing! When we arrived, they did not actually have my booking (which I booked using Expedia) but I had the confirmation email. They made sure to calmly go over some options for my family. We had a family loft room booked and they upgraded us to a larger accommodation that would be comfortable for myself and my four kids. House keeping came to our cabin each day to freshen up. The kids loved the outdoor pool, even though it was nothing special. We love the grounds of the resort and the lodge, even though it is old, it has a lot of character.

The staff are unbelievable nice, the property is getting the love and attention it needs from the new owners. Ladies, I stay here for work and it is the safest I have felt traveling. Plus to grab a coffee and walk down on the dock- stunning!

Our room was not ready at 4 pm when we arrived and we waited an hour til it was ready. Considering the high cost, it prevented us from using the hotel in prime time. A garbage can bear our room was overflowing with garbage for our entire stay. Seems poorly managed.

We arrived a little early for the 1600 checkin. room not ready. went to desk at 1615, not ready yet, tried again 1630, not ready yet. desk suggested they would call us when ready. got the call at 1715. If I am expected to vacate the room by check out, should I not expect to check in on time? Tripping hazard noted by trial on walk way at left entrance way ,paving stones raised and uneven.

This was our first time on Vancouver Island in the Campbell River area, we were impressed by the grounds how well maintained and the beautiful landscape, the views of the water as well as all the water traffic! The only inconvenience was that there was no a/c. It was pretty hot for sleeping given that there were no screens in the windows and we couldn’t have them open at night time. Otherwise, we had a great experience and we would recommend to our friends and family!

The room was cold when we arrived and took hours to warm up. The electricity outlets were insufficient and inconvenient. The faucet was hard to operate…should be updated. The cold bathroom floor needed a mat. The location and grounds were lovely.

The painters lodge had all of their amenities closed during our stay and we were not informed of this before or after booking. The dining room, restaurant, dock, and breakfast were all not accessible. The continental breakfast advertised was packaged muffins. No reduction in price based on limited amenities.

We enjoyed our stay as a family. The pool was awesome for our kids. Our room had a huge corner balcony where we got to watch 2 cruise ships pass at night. We ate at the restaurant for dinner and breakfast and enjoyed both meals. Only complaint would be the cleanliness of our room. Needed some more TLC for sure but it seemed like they were dealing with maybe lack of staff on that particular day. All in all we want to come back as it was a great little get away.

The property is a bit run down but beautiful location, VERY noisy people (children) running around the upper floor until 1130 at night and started again at 5 am, poor noise buffer between floors. Staff seemed to suggest it was my problem, even though I only mentioned it when i checked out.

Rooms were clean and staff were great! Unfortunately food was not great at all for the price,we tried dinner and breakfast to support the Lodge but were very disappointed with meals. Hopefully they can work out the kinks out, apparently new cooks.

The location on the water provided really nice views. I feel this was a premier hotel at one time, but is showing some wear. The restaurant could easily be more upscale but was extremely basic.

This is a seasonal hotel that has just opening for the summer of 2024. It is a good location if you want to be out the way, but it is quite dated and showing its age. The fact that it just opened for the season radically impaired the dining choices.
