no breakfast and restaurant was closed.

Hotel in the historic center of Powell River, next to the abandoned papermill, it used to be a very posh place but has visibly aged. Rooms are ok and staff was nice, so it was a good option for a one night stay.

Comfortable bed

The room was bare minimum. Bed was just a double. However it had a good air contioning unit that cooled the room.

The lobby, the feeling of a time long gone. Living in a museum.

Very interesting period building with grand staircase. Lots of memorabilia around and we received a very warm and helpful welcome.

Friendly staff, spacious room, comfortable bed with nice quality monogrammed linens, historic and atmospheric vibe. Excellent value for money.

Nothing really, fancy soaps in the bathroom maybe. It had everything I wanted and more, for the price of a motel across town. Nothing I didn’t like.

Beautiful old hotel. Value for money is incredible. Yes, it’s a 2 star, you’ll see that. But it’s very clean, quirky 114yr old hotel and the operators are so charming. Will 100% stay again!

We couldn't get hot water in the bathroom although we let it run for a long while. The hotel and our room were both a little run down, but for one night it was fine.

Great location. The beds were quite comfortable.

We'll the water pressure could have been stronger but it's an old hotel so it was fine.🙂 It's a charming old historical place.

We liked the historical building. The beds were comfy.

Location, decor

It’s not that I don’t like it. But with the age of hotel and being a historic property, the room we had was small. But in fairness, we booked last minute and got one of the last rooms, which was one of the smaller rooms.

It was full of history. If you like history, you’ll like it. It was like going to a museum. It put a smile on my face. We had a good sleep and it was quiet, and I had a nice hot shower.

Because of it's age, the hotel has quirks that you just need to live with - The building isn't level so nothing is flat. The plumbing is old and the lighting isn't that great...but it is pretty neat if you are into old stuff.

Very cool building. Built in 1911, The Rodmay is Powell Rivers very first commercial building. Lots of character and quirkiness. The owner, Charlie, is very helpful and is working hard to bring the hotel up to date. Much of them interior of the building is still original.

Lobby was quite dark and they need to renovate more rooms.

Amazing old hotel with historical artifacts and very functional rooms had bathrooms integral. Appeared clean and the bed was very comfortable.

Stayed in August 2024

The bathrooms are pre World War One also. Shower takes a while to warm up and the sink and bathtub drains are smelly.

Charlie the manager was amazing! Took very good care of us and was a delight to talk too. Also, the old timey feeling that the hotel has. A real step back in time to pre First World War days.

The bed was uncomfortable, an old mattress.

The history and decor in the hotel was amazing, they show cased the history of the hotel with antiques and vintage photos of when the hotel was built. Very cool. Staff was super friendly and the room was very clean.

Needs help. Would be great if the restaurant was brought back and the whole place was rejuvenated. Not an easy task.

Great to stay in this wonderful old hotel. It’s very tiered and needs lots of work, so nothing fancy here, but for us a treat to see it and imagine how it once was and what it could be again.

Really friendly and helpful staff and the bed was really comfy.
