Everything was new and very nice, but the narrow long flight of stairs was too extreme. With no elevator in the plans I can not recommend this facility.

The staff are excellent. We asked for a chair in the room and they happily got one for us. The room has a lot of space however one side of the bed is against the wall making it difficult to get in and out. There is no elevator but they were able to accommodate us on the main floor. Nicely located right by the ferry terminal and they even provided ear plugs to combat the ferry traffic

Comfortable bed, nice shower. Noisy from the traffic. Windows were very old and are in dire need of replacement in order to cut down some noise from the road. They did supply ear plugs so they are aware. Spend some money amd upgrade!

Powell River vacation

The room was small and updated. Bed and shower were good. Keurig in room, microwave and mini fridge. However there were no chairs leaving us sitting on the bed. No elevator and a long staircase to carry our suitcase, cooler ect which was difficult. There isn't enough parking we had to park off the property. No food or pool available. It is close to the downtown core and the ferry.

We had a very nice 2 tonight stay. Our check in service was exceptional. Our room was very clean and modern. Many nice dining options walkable in the area. The only suggestion as we had a kitchenet, would be a couple of folding chairs to sit on, as well as a wall coat rack in the room. We are looking forward to returning again.

We were pleasantly surprised with this property. They have done a great renovation and it is very comfortable. The location is great and not noisy at all. We had the room next to the front desk and it was totally fine. Minimal noise with people walking past had to really listen for it. Walking distance to cafes, restaurants and shops and a great board walk for a stroll in the morning right by the hotel. We would stay again.

Very lovely boutique hotel, with lovely views and great location if taking the ferry. The bed was comfy, the shower was great, and the decor is nice. If I could make a couple recommendations; use the bath mat when stepping out of the shower(slippery!) and the electrical outlets were a bit of a hide and seek situation. Would definitely book here again though!!

Super cute hotel. Front staff was super nice. Within walking distance to a couple cafes and shops as well as the marina. Rooms were clean and hotel was overall nice. Parking is ok. My only complaint is the room being really tight, but that is out of their control. Bathroom was nicely renovated with a walk in glass shower with rainfall showerhead.
