This is a vintage hotel that has a long history in Powell River. The hotel seems to have undergone considerable interior refurbishing, and has some interesting displays in the lobby. One must understand the challenges of working with such an old structure to appreciate what has been accomplished so far. Having said that, the location leaves something to be desired as it is literally right next to the abandoned pulp and paper mill. I'm not sure what's planned for the mill site, but if it was ever demolished, the ocean views would be spectacular. The rooms are in restored original condition, with comfortable beds adequate water pressure decent shower and vintage fixtures. If you want to experience some history of the Powell River area, this is a great property to start with. Definitely recommend!
