Excellent! Property was very clean. Our room was amazing! Clean, kitchenette, and an amazing view overlooking the water and ferry. We loved having our morning coffee and watching all the boats/people. We travelled with friends who also had their own room, and were equally impressed. It was so nice we both extended our stay an extra night. Right next to the strip of stores. Great location. As meticulous as the property was, it’s the staff that really push this place into a 5* rating. From the front desk, ti the cleaners etc. the staff was so friendly and gracious. They actually made you feel like they truly appreciated your business. We recommend and hope to stay here again next year when we visit.

My room had an amazing view and location wise youre right by the Ferry Terminal. It wasn't too busy this time of year and a perfect stay. Location of hotel is walkable and you can reach many restaurants, seawall, ferry terminal and shopping spots within walking distance.

It was okay. The room was basically taken over by the king sized bed there was a small closet no dresser and only one bedside table. The hotel is under renovation so it was noisy. There is zero sound proofing and you can hear everything from the rooms beside and above.

I love that the property is newly renovated and that they allow us to stay with our pet. Staff is always very friendly. The street noise is a bit loud but that’s what you get for the convenient location close to the ferry. There is no elevator so if you have mobility issues let them know before so you can get a ground level room. We absolutely love the shower. Would stay here again.

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.
