The advertised breakfast included wasn't offered on either day of our stay. Expedia doesnt mention the restaurant is closed on Mondays.. but it is posted on the hotels website. Either way don't expect the advertised breakfast to be included on your stay. We also paid extra for the superior room with ocean views.. don't bother, your view is the back side of a decommissioned mill and sketchy hotel across the street l,which seems to house the local miscreants. We also posted the door hanger requesting housekeeping at 9:30am, guess they couldn't be bothered with that either. I did receive a small portion for a refund.. but honestly I would'nt go back.. dilapidated part of town in a very rough neighborhood. The historic building looks like it's been neglected since it's past renovations.. needs some serious exterior maintenance.

This wonderful boutique hotel was the perfect way to spend time in Powell River. The hotel keeper met us after hours with a friendly smile and took time to show us all about our room. The room itself was clean and perfect for what we needed. The breakfast was delicious. We will be returning back and recommending to anyone exploring the area

Great Boutique Hotel. Rooms are interesting and not cookie cutter. Loved that the TV was separate from the bed area. Would stay again and would recommend to others.

The history of the building and area is interesting but the amenities were quite limited and noise level (screaming in the middle of the night…no not ghosts!) made for a very difficult night’s sleep. The free delicious breakfast was a bonus.

This historical, tudor-style building had eight well appointed rooms. We stayed in the Jurors' Room which was clean, comfortable and well appointed. The photos, mementos and relics in the hallways were amazing....just like being in a museum! The entire experience was very laid back. It was the housekeeper who checked us in (in fact, we didn't see anyone at registration upon arriving nor leaving) and this was just fine as nothing was lacking, except perhaps for a kleenex box in the room. The beds and linens were super comfortable. The hot water in the shower took a long time to arrive but there was a much appreciated note about this (it is an old building) and once it arrived, it was hot and plentiful! The free hot breakfast made to order in the restaurant was excellent and we absolutely loved the photos and story of Edie Rae. We will definitely return to this gem.

After comparing all the options I think The Old Courthouse Inn is the best play to stay in Powell River. The staff is super friendly and welcoming. The breakfast was way more than expected.. you basically get to choose anything off of a full menu. Highly recommended.
