This is a quaint and cute older hotel. The rooms were comfortable and clean. I only stayed one night but would stay again. I did find a bug crawling on my sheets, but it wasn't a bedbug thankfully. Breakfast is provided but doesn't open until 9 am, and I had to leave earlier than that, so I missed out on that.

Definitely a charming old hotel, with lots of cool knick knacks in all the hallways. However, we found our room VERY small. Only big enough for the double bed, a small dresser and a sink. Also a tiny bathroom with toilet and tiny shower stall. Didn't like the curtain separating the main room from the bathroom. Needs some TLC overall. One HUGE plus though was the included full breakfast. Choice of items including eggs benny, eggs/meat/breakfast potatoes, etc. and including coffee/tea. And excellent service, though a bit slow with only one young lady waiting tables.

The manager was fantastic. Very friendly and welcoming, even though we came in late. This building really was the old court house and each room in the building, from the 1910s or so, has been converted. The decor, strangely enough, reminds you of Asia or perhaps Asian fascination from that period of time. Downstairs is the equally fascinating Edie Rae cafe where you will get the best breakfast (free with your booking) that I have had in a long time. The location is the old section of town. Since the mill closed the area has suffered, but there are many great buildings to look at. Downtown for shopping is a 10 minute drive. I can't recommend this place enough.

We had a room with two beds, which were in separate rooms divided by a door so that was a pleasant surprise. Eat breakfast in the morning was delicious and served promptly to order. The area around the hotel is a little older, but not a significant concern all in all we had a great stay!

This place is a gem. Authentic period decor, very quiet; we needed two beds and got two bedrooms- very homey. Brewpub and restaurants across the street. Cafe with eggs Benny included in the price. It’s a few km from the new part of town, with all the shops and restaurants but that didn’t affect us. I’d seek this place out if ever in PR again.

Unfortunately, we did not end up staying at Old Courthouse Inn, Powell River. We walked out as soon as my family saw the old, spooky room. Kelly was not there when we decided to leave but I left a note thanking him. It is not what we expected. Sadly, I had already signed the papers for $500 CAD stay. ( too late for refund). I have nothing against him. He can use that money to make the room appealing, with bright light. I would not recommend this place at all. It had its day ( 40 years ago) but it's not even worth including it with Expedia in today's tourism world. The ad photos were taken 8 years ago ( deceiving ad) and only ONE had a review last year. I warn others to be careful. Have a LOOK first before signing the papers!

Well done reno of a historic building. Kelly has worked hard to make it into a uniquely interesting boutique hotel, adding antiques and historic artifacts and art from the local area. The breakfasts, included in the price, are all house made, including the yummy Hollandaise sauce and house made biscuits. The room rates remain affordable. The now closed paper mill does subtract from the otherwise pristine views of the area including the Straight of Georgia. There is an absence of restaurants and cafes in the Old Town but the main part of Powell River is only a 5 minute drive away.
