The Star Taxi driver was gracious to pick me up at the airline vs walking back to the Star Taxi location.

Five Stars for Star Taxi service, thank you!

Very small airport. Great airport to go to if you're flying from Canada and want to check out…read moreNewfoundland. They have car rental companies available as soon as you land. One restaurant and a small waiting area as there are not that many flights that depart from here. Of course I had to give it 5 stars because of the free for all piano! It's a small airport so many people don't play it but if you have a tingling to play, go ahead!

Hmm, this port is a bit of a curiosity to me and a few other passengers anyway. Relatively…read morespeaking, there's not much here or in the town, and one wonders why stop here except out of convenience given its remote location. There is a Tim Hortons though, woot woot. The port's schedule shows that there are only 31 berthings in the whole season here with the Norwegian Joy doing just 3 of those berthings and also being the largest ship to do so. By comparison, the ports at Halifax, Sydney and Charlottetown had 180, 112, and 91 berthings respectively scheduled in 2023. Actually, it doesn't matter that much to us, as when there is no compelling attraction, we enjoy just getting off the ship, getting our fitness steps in by walking about town, and dropping in somewhere for Wifi (i.e., Tim Hortons) and we're happy. So that still works here, but frankly this port stop has the least I've ever seen of any stop from a tourism standpoint. Just saying, for what it's worth. Maybe one day, i'll learn the why's for a cruise stop here.

I drove up to the Holiday Inn Express (on Bennett Avenue) and asked if they had a room even though I didn't have a reservation ... and they did. In fact, I was upgraded to a larger king room. The rate was $139/night. It's only about 10 minutes from the airport so I didn't have far to go. I had a conference call this morning so was able to have a late check-up. A complimentary hot breakfast was included (I didn't check it out). WIFI (it's fairly speedy) and parking are also complimentary. Apparently there is an indoor pool with an 80 foot waterslide ... alas, I didn't have my bathing suit to check it out. There is no restaurant onsite for supper so I ordered a pizza for delivery from Pizza Delight.

This is by far the most discussing Hotel I have ever been …read more I had to check out right after I checked in because of the condition of my room , calling it dirty would be a compliment . The whole hotel has carpet , which is fine if you would take care of it once in a while . I stared hitching the moment I stepped into this facility and stop when I finally checked out . Personnel working there very unprofessional , especially the manager Ben is very rude . Stay away from this place , 5 minutes away from this place there is the " Tranquil Waters inn " where with the same price you get an outstanding service and beautiful rooms overlooking a lake .

This review is for the restaurant:…read more We had some time to kill before our flight. In the morning, when we arrived at the Deer Lake airport and rented the car, the very helpful car rental staff girl I asked her where good places to eat in Deer Lake are... And she exclaimed the Irving Big Stop and Deer Lake Motel. We had brekky at the Irving Big Stop. Which was good, not great. They bake their own bread there so there's that... But, then we got back to Deer Lake later that evening around 4-pm. Some time to kill before flight. Went to Deer Lake Motel restaurant. Everything looked good. I saw the poutine. And it looked good. But we didn't want a huge meal either, just something to tide us over. We had the nachos with beef! And yes, they were delish! Not too wetty, wetty or messy, messy. It was simple and clean. And exteme delish. We both commented on how tasty. And cleaned the plate. I think for food-wise, you are GTG here....

Deer Lake Motel was at a very convenient location - right off the Trans Canada Highway, so we didn't have to drive around an unfamiliar town in the dark. Convenience is the one of 2 "pros" that I had for this motel. The other - a large flat screen TV to check out the local weather and national news. Room itself and interior was quite outdated. I found a huge ants on the wall, and we heard rain dripping from the upstairs room hitting our window sill ALL NIGHT LONG.... imagine that. Also, this motel is located right off the major (and only) highway, so naturally it was noisy. Make sure to ask for a room on the backside so that your room is not facing the highway, and upstairs so that you don't need to hear the "waterfall" all night long in case it rained. Overall, 2.5 starts but rounded up to 3 :-) This motel's high point would be the convenience, for a quick and convenient place to stay and sleep for several hours. We paid half of what they charged here and got a better, cleaner room....

All the original hospital beds, furniture, signs, curtains were all kept. There's even a room full of old hospital equipment. The person who checked us in (ugh, forgot his name) was super friendly, gave us a tour of the place. There was a kitchen and a couple of bathrooms we could use, we were shown the library and community center. There was also freshly picked apples free for the taking! What's also nice was the Guide to Gros Morne NP next to the bed which came in handy. Just like a hospital, beds were surrounded by curtains for added privacy. Much better than a regular hostel! This place takes cash only, $30 CDN for a night's stay. Got a good night's sleep. Who knew hospital beds could be so comfortable?

We found the atmosphere to be relaxed and unpretentious - breakfasts were hearty (bacon, eggs, toast, homemade jams), cod cakes and fisherman's brew on the two mornings we stayed there. For the nice accommodations the price was quite low ($65/night). Lucas House is very close to Deer Lake Airport; but it is also about a one hour drive to get into the heart of Gros Morne National Park. Lucas House was a good place to stay for day trips and for travellers passing by the TCH but for longer stays at Gros Morne it would probably be better to pay a bit more to stay inside the park.
