"Nice to see so much renovation going on at the Lodge since the new owners took over.
You can not beat the location and the upgrades will bring the Lodge back to its former glory.
Such a tranquil and peaceful place with resident deer."
The lodge has a rich history dating back to the 1920s when the Painter family operated cabins on Campbell River Spit—in 1938, they expanded to the oceanfront location where the resort currently sits
Past guests praise the lodge's tranquil atmosphere and clean, spacious rooms
It's a short drive from downtown, where you'll find the Discovery Passage Aquarium, Fisherman's Wharf Marina and The Museum at Campbell River
Head to Discovery Pier for some fishing; this is Canada’s first and longest public saltwater fishing pier, extending over 180 metres into the Discovery Passage
Campbell River is renowned for whale watching; catch a tour and spot orcas and humpback whales, as well as dolphins and sea lions
There are also five provincial parks in the area; the closest to the lodge is Elk Falls Provincial Park, a five-minute drive away

Resort location and heritage lodge ambiance is beautiful. Rooms are in need of the upcoming renovations, would be better served utilized having hot tub than outdoor pool in cold weather as it’s not covered nor bathrobes/pool towels supplied.

Short stay getaway, first time at Painter’s Lodge. Beautiful location, great staff, decent amenities. The property shows its age in places, but that’s part of its charm. Our suite could use an updated bathroom, more plugins, and repainting, but it looks like new ownership is working towards upgrading the entire property. Enjoyable stay, will come back.

The lounge area is very comfortable, pub-style dining is fine although a few more lighter/ healthy food options would be appreciated. Beautiful location with views across to Quadra Island.

Stayed for 4 nights, used the outdoor bbq area for dinners. Enjoyed the pool and the outdoor patio that had a great view. Very comfortable rooms and staff were very friendly and helpful. The grounds are kept very clean and beautiful and working on updating the resort.

This place needs a lot of work to restore past glory. Fortunately, some BC people have purchased and are starting work on the long road ahead. Hope it is restored to it original glory!
Right now it is a worn down resort needing a lot of tlc

There is a new ownership group at painters Lodge. Given the long legacy of the previous ownership, we truly hope that the new owners will put the sweat equity into this place that it needs. Things are starting to look tired and there is lots of maintenance issues that now need to be addressed on this expansive property.
The hot tub was removed, the lobby lounge had no direct bar service. You had to get your drinks from the pub. The dining room and gift shop were both closed. Many of the cabinets that had memorabilia from the history were empty. Something needs to go into those.
Overall, the place just needs a deep clean and some love put back into it. This grand hotel just needs to become grand again. It has always had a special place for us. I hope the new ownership will put the time and energy in. Such a gem!

It was so quiet in the room we were in . I know it’s making a comeback, but I hope the outside furniture is upgraded and some of the fixtures.
But I am so thrilled with how peaceful and quiet Victoria building #507 was.

Great location and a lot of property. Rooms are a bit dated but we weren’t there to spend time in the room. Restaurant on property was not open on our stay and was expected to open in a few days. Unfortunately we didn’t get to eat on site :(. Would stay here again. Hopefully they start a campaign to update rooms.

Hotel in state of repair. Lounge, restaurant not open so bring your food and drink and enjoy it in the bar! Rooms very comfy, large, but not water view. Ground level great for people with walking issues. Microwave would be a great addition. Found kettle for my tea. Clean, beds comfy.

We realize the hotel is just re-opening under new owners. Only a few of the buildings were open. The rooms were spacious and clean. A nice lounge and fireplace with gorgeous sea views. Breakfast needs to be improved or dont have one at all. Great value for the reduced price as they get up to full speed

If you are going to offer breakfast, it needs to be better. Plain yogurt and muffins are not sufficient. Have multiple flavored yogurt, more than one kind of fruit and add some hard boiled eggs.

Rooms were in need of repair. Music too loud outside and choice of music inside was terrible. Continental breakfast muffins served out of Costco plastic containers. Coffee machine difficult to operate.
No restaraunt or var open until mid July. Should tell guests beforehand.

Although Painters Lodge used to be the place to stay, it is has a long restoration ahead. It is old and run down.
Despite only a dozen cars in the parking lot, we were told the complimentary room upgrade wasn’t not available as they were “full”. I felt we were treated poorly because we got a “deal” on the price of the room through Travel Zoo. We were placed into a room as far from the ocean and as close to the road as possible. It smelled musty, bathroom tiles broken and dirty and in need of a facelift.
“Breakfast” was made up of dry granola bars, yogurt cups, an orange or pre packaged muffin. There was one, single serve Kurig machine for coffee.
The pool was old, shallow and too small for the size if the lodge. The fitness room was closed.

We love the location. No restaurant and they were doing construction all around the property so the pool was closed. Too bad because it was a nice hot day. Hotel is very dated and in need of repair. They seem to be doing a lot of work.
For the price you can't complain. Lovely views of Johnstone Staight. Hope the dock comes back soon.

The restaurants haven't opened yet but there are lots of good choices a very short drive away and
when they do reopen the restaurants on site I am sure they will be exellent.
No substitutions. Seasonal items subject to change.
