A friend and I needed to stay in the area the night before a triathlon at Semiahmoo. With little available accommodation, we ended up at the Scottish Lodge, hoping that the reviews we'd seen were unrepresentative. Let's just say our fears were well-founded.
The room was dark, dingy, dirty and - worst of all - damp. There was serious discussion about the possibility of sleeping in our wetsuits so as to have a barrier between us and the sheets! It was almost impossible to close the curtains. When we woke up in the morning our clothes and sandals were damp, as if they'd been out on a dewy night.
The only upside was that we didn't encounter any of the "residents" other reviewers have mentioned. On that front, maybe we were just lucky.
I would rather drive 100 miles each way than stay at the Scottish Lodge ever again.
