⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An Unforgettable Stay at the Old Courthouse Inn! From the moment we arrived at the Old Courthouse Inn, we knew we were in for something special. This charming and historic gem in Powell River exceeded all expectations in every possible way. Cleanliness- Impeccable. Every corner of the inn was spotless—from the beautifully maintained rooms to the common areas, it’s clear that the team takes pride in every detail. It felt like staying in a lovingly kept time capsule, where vintage charm meets modern comfort. Service- Absolutely top-notch. The staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and cared for throughout our stay. A very special shoutout to Kelly and Frankie, whose warmth, kindness, and attentiveness truly made the experience unforgettable. They embody hospitality at its finest and made us feel like part of the family. And then there’s the breakfast… wow. Included in our stay, but truly worth raving about on its own. Words almost fall short—it was creative, delicious, and clearly made with passion. Every bite was a delight, and it's not often you leave breakfast already planning your next visit. If you're looking for a place with character, heart, and true hospitality, the Old Courthouse Inn is it. We can't wait to return!

The Courthouse is in the historic/older part of Powell River. Access is via outdoor stairs and the location isn’t what I expected. Our view was somewhat obscured by the old pulp mill. PR is a unique town with tons of history. Definitely worth a visit.

The room and bathroom were cramped and cluttered but clean. The bar fridge in the room cycled on and off loudly even when turned off. Unfortunately the plug was behind a heavy piece of furniture so not easily accessed. No live TV only streaming. Most disturbing was the swearing into a phone that took place in the alleyway between the hotel and I suspect a mental health accommodation at 9 pm, 3:30 am and then again at 6:50 am. Could hear it clearly as the bathroom window was kept open by a screen. Otherwise the area was very quiet at night. Just not good for sleeping. Great location for walking as very historic.

Owner very obviously does not care about this super run down property. Best thing about it is the breakfast in the morning. Also tried a scam we've seen in Europe of charging the credit card for random missing or damaged items well after we left. Charges ultimately reserved after complaint but not satisfactorily. Stay anywhere else.
