A great stay in Powell River

I’ve never stayed here before when in Powell River because I knew it was very old and thought it would be dumpy inside; what a surprise, the staff were very helpful and it was very nicely decorated and super modern throughout the whole place. Great views and easy walking access to a variety of shops, restaurants etc.

The room had a very new appearance so must have been recently renovated. Traffic noise from Marine Drive was loud beginning in early morning. This might only be an annoyance for those that like to sleep in. Otherwise we enjoyed the hotel.

The Inn has been recently renovated and it shows - we LOVED the rainfall shower in our room. Service was kind and efficient (I had to make a couple slight changes after booking and it caused no issues and staff each time were lovely) and location very convenient for catching the ferry. I would 100% stay here again when visiting Powell River.

Nice renovated place to stay. It’s a convenient stay close to the ferry but there is lots of street noice because of the convenient location. I don’t think it has an elevator so let staff know of mobility issues when you book so you can be on ground level and not have to do the steep stairs to the second floor.
