I arrived after 2:00am on a Saturday night/Sunday morning. The concierge was a very nice woman who checked me in quickly and helped my with my bag up one flight of stairs. The room was fine, facing out the front of the hotel but the view was only across the street (as I found out the next day). Comfy room,... More

Stayed here because Deer Lake Motel was full and we had an early flight out of Deer Lake Airport. The staff were pleasant and we had a nice view of the lake. Our room appeared to be recently renovated. This is an inn, so don't expect large executive suites. Our room was just large enough to accommodate a double sized bed.... More

We had a room booked for four adults, and when we arrived our room was gone. We booked a double room on a Wednesday morning and when we arrived at 5 oclock on Friday the room was no longer available. We travelled from Lewisporte to Deer Lake on Quad with friends and the receptionist told us that another worker had... More

I noticed the awful smell in the hallway before we even came across the terrible smell in the room itself; it smelled like cat urine so badly we had to air it out with the temperature below freezing. The room was very small and poorly designed and cost FAR too much for what we got. And that a Jungle Jim... More

Our room smelled so bad from the chemical used to cover up the other stench that our noses and throats burned. The floor was rotten under the old carpet, so that it felt like we were going to go through the floor. The place felt so grungy, it was difficult to sleep. This place should be condemned. Also, there were... More

I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw poor and terrible reviews for this place. The rooms are nice and the place is very quiet. It's not a high class hotel that you would find in a major city..but for where it's located it's very nicely kept. I would definitely recommend this to anyone for a quiet nights rest. More

We stayed at the Driftwood Inn after a really rough Gulf crossing. We were delayed by almost 4 hours and were exhausted by the time we reached Deer Lake. I had booked the room earlier in the day, but as we drove through the night I was reading the negative reviews on TripAdvisor and was expecting to find a real... More

I stayed here about 7 years ago, and it hasn't changed much. The rooms are small (just a small, bistro-sytle table, no desk, no closet, but the bed was comfortable. Convenient to the airport. The are in the process of putting in an elevator so you don't have to schlep your bags up the stairs. More
