So, I booked because of the reviews - but it genuinely wasn’t my experience unfortunately. Perhaps I just got a sub standard room. The rooms are small, and nowhere to work (tiny desk that didn’t fit my laptop and uncomfortable chair that didn’t pull out enough because of space). I was in town for business so this mattered. The room was very noisy - people coming and going all night with the exterior doors slamming every time. I stayed 3 nights and this was endless. There’s nowhere to eat food without balancing on the end of the bed. Breakfast was served between 9&1pm - not sure I understood this as everyone had left by the time I did every morning at 8:30. Wind chimes around the outside of the building went crazy with the wind (I know, I know, that’s the point but I mean crazy - we are a couple of blocks from the ocean so wind is, well, expected!). My bed had a row of ‘popped’ springs so I had to sleep sideways! I could go on but I won’t - it’s a cute character building with tons of curios. The Manager was sweet, the parking was great - the coffee in the room was good - access to microwaves and kettles/iron etc in the basement. Not for me but certainly an experience!

The coolest place! I loved the journey to Powell River and this was the perfect landing spot. The room was incredible, every detail really special. I love a morning that begins with a nespresso, great shower and warm breakfast made to order. The perfect getaway.

One of a kind boutique hotel in a historic neighborhood. The owner has gone the extra mile and it shows throughout. Feels like staying in a museum with the modern amenities, great choice if you're into the aesthetic. Breakfast of your choice, which includes Eggs Benny, each morning with your stay is a great personal touch. The only negative, being an old building, are lots of stairs and hearing doors opening, closing and being slammed by other guests during the day. I'm sure the owner could add some felt pads to the door frames to help with the latter. Overall highly recommended.

I was pleasantly surprised with the vibe of the Old Courthouse. In an age of sterile and boring hotels this one will knock your socks off? Why because it's like stepping back in a time machine to a bygone era. At first you might be taken aback with the eccentricity but within minutes being in a museum will hopefully give you a sense of nostalgia. BC at its best..I'll be back. P.s. Breakfast was AAA

The Old Courthouse Inn was a great base for our hiking trip on the Sunshine Coast Trail, it's close to the float plane airport and right by the trail. The restaurant Edie Rae's had excellent food and Kelly the Inkeeper was a great host, I'd recommend it to anyone staying in Powell River.

A glorious old Powell River hotel, beautifully preserved and sympathetically loved. Kelly clearly has a love for the place. TheTownsite brewery and tasting room nearby added to the pleasure, as did the very finely spiced foods at the Royal Zakya restaurant up the hill.

This was the most unique hotel I have stayed in. Historic building beautifully renovated into hotel. Antiques were a surprise and added to hotel charm. Modern additions ie. charging ports and Nespresso appreciated. Bed and pillows extremely comfortable. Location in "historic" district meant it was a distance from main shopping/restaurant areas of Powell River and close to historic employer--the paper mill. Area did have some restaurants and shopping though. Walking around, appreciated all the historic markers detailing area history. Having a breakfast menu was appreciated but computer issue and my order not sent thru. I patiently waited and then had to ask about my breakfast. Staff person was new and apologetic. Delay may have been part of the part of then rushing the order and not the best eggs beny I have had. Overall I enjoyed the hotel and would stay again.
