The staff here are very friendly and will go out of their way to make sure you have a good stay here. The room was quite comfortable, spacious, and relatively clean. Sure, maybe it was a bit dated, but it still got the job very well done in the end. As long as it gets the job done, I personally don't care. The beds were easy to get a good night sleep on and the hotel is very quiet, which is great. Laundry service is available, however, they do not have self-serve washing machines. They take care of the laundry for you for $10 per service, which I must say is quite reasonable. Honestly, I like how they take care of the laundry for you so you don't have to worry about it. The biggest plus for me is that there is an elevator on the property should you need it to go up to the second floor. That's a HUGE plus. Location is excellent, you can get to pretty much any store from the hotel in walking distance. I would stay here again for sure if my travels took me up to Powell River in the future.

I scored lower than 5 on the above review for a couple of reasons…read more (1) When I was called about confirming the reservation, the host did not explain why they were calling to offer our group different rooms (had booked a room with two double beds and were asked about a room with a single double bed and sofabed instead). (2) In one of the rooms where I slept with another occupant, there was a condensing unit that was dripping. This kept us awake. I was able to obtain earplugs from the customer service desk (helpful). However, upon check-out, we received an apology about the dripping unit. It was implied that it was our own fault that we had chosen not to rebook a different room. Had there been any inclination that there was an issue with the room, of course, we would have rebooked. So, not only were we *not* told that there was an issue with the room, but we were met with resistance and as one of the checkout folks said, "gentle suggestion for next time, accept the offer of another room to rebook". I was annoyed but kept this to myself and instead said would they please address their unit. Anyway - I will make sure not to stay there again.

History was the reason I rented two nights at The Old Courthouse Inn. The inn's lovely, historic…read moreexterior grabs the viewer's attention and distracts attention from what's nearby. What's inside is even more distracting. The owners were gracious and accommodating, even providing a tea kettle, and helping the two least-techy guests they've ever had figure out the fridge and TV. Check-in was easy, and assistance was offered with luggage. The king-sized bed was comfortable . The room was clean, and the windows provided lots of daylight. The cleaning staff did a great job during our stay, which we appreciated. It was wonderful having a café in the building that served very good biscuits and eggs benedict. Breakfast is included with the lodging! The room we stayed in had some fragile knickknacks. At times we were afraid to move, for fear of knocking them over, especially when using the rolling desk chair that had a life of its own. There are fragile knickknacks throughout the common areas with many "do not touch" signs. Because the building is historic, heat in midwinter requires pre-set radiators with "Don't touch" notices and a portable radiator that warns users to not set above medium. Outlets require strategic consideration, in order to not trip fuses. The interior stair handrails' were wrapped with holiday decorations, which made them mostly useless. My husband is disabled, and I erred in not requesting a room on the main level. He felt vulnerable on the stairs because of the decorations removing the ability to grab on. The bathroom door bumps into the toilet and therefore does not open fully into the bathroom; some maneuvering was needed to access the toilet. The bathroom fan couldn't keep up with shower condensation, so we continued to be bathed by water dripping from the ceiling after stepping out of the shower. It was like an unplanned final rinse. Be prepared to wait a while for hot water to show up in the bathroom sink or shower. There are only two chairs in the room, both uncomfortable. The rolling chair mentioned above, and a not very "comfy" chair. Our druthers are that hotel living areas have at least one very comfy chair or couch. Lamp lighting was dim throughout the common areas and our room. It was difficult to read a book with the lighting provided. Breakfast for lodgers is in the Cafe on the main level. Oddly, in the dead of winter and at 7 a.m. (when the cafe opens), a VERY dim light was the only one on in the hallway on our floor. We had to use a flashlight to find our way downstairs and back upstairs after breakfast. In addition, the two main entrances at the back of the building had no lighting at night. Unnerving, in winter. Some of our complaints can be attributed to the fact that the building is historic, but most could have been remedied (such as lighting and furnishings) to make our room and the common areas more comfortable and safe.

Ever thought about traveling back in time and living to tell the tale? The Old Courthouse Inn (in…read morePowell River, B.C.) gives you that very opportunity. As a historian and an archaeologist, I thought it would be neat to spend the weekend in this establishment. Located in the heart of the Old Townsite, constructed in 1939 in the form of my favourite Tudor-style architecture and once used as a jail, police station and courthouse, there was no way I'd turn it down. The building itself is very well kept. Having underwent a few renovations, the charm is still preserved as the original doors, locks, windows, lights, etc. are all intact. There are also several pictures and knick-knacks donated by the locals that tell the story of Powell River's pioneer days. Prices are reasonable and all rooms come with a self-serve continental breakfast. In addition, each room has its very own television and wireless internet. Not very vintage, you say, but it was a nice luxury to have during the hockey season. The staff is great, the view of the Sunshine Coast was beautiful and to experience a glimpse of what life was like back in the day was a real treat. All-in-all, I find it very fortunate that Powell River was able to integrate its history with our modern-day necessities. I am all for the preservation of cultural heritage and I can say that they've done an exceptional job with the Old Courthouse Inn.

Reading reviews and the low price compared to everything else left us a little concerned but we thought oh well, only for a couple of nights. Our expectations were low and we were so pleasantly surprised. First impression was the lady in our office and she was so helpful, stressing that if anything was wrong let her know, giving us food suggestions and you honestly felt really welcomed. The room, we had two bedrooms was spacious, the beds were super comfortable and most importantly, it was really clean. The room had a big fridge freezer, microwave and coffee machine. If you were going to be critical and look for things, the paint on the wall is scruffed, the window paint in the bathroom needs redoing, and the toilet seems to be on a slight slant. The pool and hot tub also were not in service. We stayed here because we needed somewhere but we would stay here by choice again, especially when you consider the price. We have no complaints!

The only nice room which is showed on the websites is the captains suite, otherwise it's all bad. The furniture was gross and uncomfortable, there was no space for a family of 4 and we had to put our suitcases in the kitchen. This place needs a lot of work. The only decent thing is the location, that's it. This also most likely didn't meet any code that is required to run a "hotel", kinda surprised it hasn't burnt down yet.
