Powell River hotels

Thank you Paula and Marius!

Appreciated that we were able to eat the full breakfast that came as part of room package on the deck to allow our small anxious dog to stay with us.

The host was very welcoming. The breakfast (included) was very good and we loved the restaurant decor.

Pros: The location is good and the ocean view is incredible. The staff was always friendly and helpful. Free use of the gym and pool when you stay at the hotel.

Cons: The rooms are dated, although we stayed in the so-called "new" building. The breakfast is really simple and does not offer much of a variety. The dining tables in the breakfast room were really uncomfortable, they are simply too low. Overall a little bit pricy for the service you get.

Gunk was on the bathroom counter, bathroom door did not stay closed, wiped water off the floor and the towel was brown with dirt after. Red stains on bed spread. Pink mildew on the shower curtain, paint bubbling above shower, shower rod rusted. Came back after housekeeping had been in and out entire bathroom floors, walls, door were sprayed with water. Called maintenance. Suggested the cleaners forgot. :/ People smoking on decks.

Pros: Great view, great pool, comfy beds

Cons: Facilities are in need of updating.

Pros: I stayed here once before about 30 years ago with a group of motorcycling enthusiasts. I was delighted to find it was not the same, it was even better with more amenities. The food and atmosphere at the Seaside Bistro were wonderful and our waitress was delightful! The quiet!

Pros: The village of Powell river has good facilities, nice restaurants with ocean views.

Cons: The owner tried to charge a higher price than the confirmed booking.com price. Intermittent wifi. Refrigerator that froze and burst our soft drinks. Noisy room airconditioner. But if you open the window lots of noise from the building climate-installations. Carpets in the room. Shower was hard to get hot water.

Pros: The king size bed was very comfortable. Off season provided very quiet surroundings. Manager friendly. It was a pleasant stay.

Cons: Door did not lock properly. Building is very old so price was correct for what we got.

Pros: Manager was very nice .gave me a great discount even tho I had 2 additional children. Right off the highway. Somewhat within city limits. Had food delivered no prob.

Cons: There was a musty smell which probably came from the old vanity in the bathroom. I was woken up by the cops at midnight. Wrong door! There was no microwave which would've been handy for warming up coffee

Pros: Basic accommodation consistent with price. Clean and quiet

Cons: My expectations were not met because i had unrealistic expectations.

Pros: The room rate was really good. The room was clean.

Cons: The door to room had to be pushed really hard to open. The drinking glasses provided were not cleaned.

Pros: Location

Cons: Very dirty, sticky everywhere, always washing my hands, handprints on the wall, over the bed...I had read reviews, I guess I'm picky...never go there again...gross!

Pros: We arrived at the motel passed 7pm and the staff reserved room for us, the two rooms in upstairs were clean and comfort, the bed were big enough for family with our one kid 11 years old, however, the booking site did not allow us to book two rooms for 5 persons (one 11 years old kid), instead, we have to book three rooms, in the end, we did not use the room with chicken as our bed room since it is smelly a little bit.

Cons: The booking system did not allow me to book available two double bed room for one family with 11 years old kid, and we could not cancel the extra room on site.

Pros: There was nothing to like about this hotel.

Cons: The service was terrible. Lady was full of attitude. Rooms and main lobby were not clean. Overpriced and in rough neighbourhood.

Pros: The room was clean.

Cons: I booked the room for my daughter and her two girls who came from Ireland to see me. There was no breakfast. It was canceled for the season. Possibly because a new restaurant coming in but no notice was given that there wouldn't be anything available. No room cleaning, cups changed or cleaned, coffee supplied for 2 days only. There was a prostitute in the room across the hall, and my granddaughters are young! Only one staff member around and he spent most of his time in the liquor store. Music from the pub was loud. The pub seemed to be the only thing actually functioning. A smoke alarm on the upper employee's only floor was going the whole time, even though the staff was told about it, frequently. My daughter and her girls were complaining about bug bites of some type but couldn't find out what. I was with them everywhere else and I got no bites so there must have been something else in that building that was biting them. I was totally devastated that I booked at this historic site for my family and the photos on the website were not what was there. The building is in need of restoration. I will never book or recommend The Rodmay to anyone and will tell anyone who asks the truth about this place. Oh, and one leg was missing from one of the beds so my husband had to put blocks under it so the girls could sleep without the bed moving every time they moved! No elevator, hotel not accessible to anyone with a disability.

Pros: Loved the early 20th century vibe. Lovely old building that has seen better days.

Cons: It's a grand hotel that has seen better days. Appears they want to do the least until it's sold or demolished.

Pros: Building is like a museum.

Cons: Poor soundproofing, bed frame was broken.

Pros: Location was helpful for our needs. Has fun character.

Cons: Very dated. Kinda seedy and creepy.

Cons: There was a rotting shoe and drug paraphernalia in the drawers. They have an ancient microwave in the room but no fridge. Despite being advertised as "pet friendly" their attitudes are clearly anything but.

Pros: Very clean and very vintage. Staff were friendly and the room over looked the mill and water. Very quiet and relaxing. Rustic through and through, they are doing a great job bringing this historic building back to its former glory.

Pros: I can not say that I liked something at this hotel.

Cons: The hotel is close to a paper mill and you can see how the smoke comes out of the towers. On one of the sides is a PUB that is open until 10 pm (I think) and you can see drunk people, some of them smoking weed. The building is old and has a bad smell when you go inside. The rooms were not very clean and it was a bad smell. The bed sheets were dirty and stained.

Pros: Location and creepy factor. Loved the attached pub.

Cons: Extra pillows needed in the room. Restaurant wasnt open, no continental breakfast.

Pros: I like that the hotel has kept the nostalgia true and hasn't put in modern amenities.

Cons: No AC. Cheap electric fan didnt work. Bed was very uncomfortable. No locks on the window, security was a wooden dowel that stopped the window from opening fully. No restaurant on site and everything was closed by 9 except the onsite liquor store. No secure parking. Emailed weeks in advance asking about parking and no reply.
