“Needs cleaning!”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 August 2007
1
person found this review helpful

This would have been a more pleasant experience if the place had been cleaner. Walking to my room, there was a cobweb draped from the ceiling, and dirty carpeting. Oddly, I wasn't reassured by the vacuums lining the hallway. (???)
The overall impression of my room? Grubby. Dirty carpets, nasty looking upholstered furniture, a long, black hair in the bathtub, and grime around door handles and frames.
On the flip side, there's a wonderful courtyard and the restaurant was a nice surprise even though it proved impossible to get a 2nd cup of coffee at either of the meals I had there.
I'll end up there again only because it's the best of the available accommodations .

“A good Hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 January 2007

person found this review helpful

This is very definately a hotel from the 80's and probably hasnt been updated decor wise since then, however, it offers really good basic accommodation that is clean and well kept. Its best point is the food it serves at TC's Lounge and in the Hotel dining room. Its fabulous and the staff are downhome friendly. I love it .

“Adequate accomodation”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 December 2006

This hotel was previously a Coast Hotel. It's obvious from the rooms that the company now running it doesn't invest capital. Room carpet is in desparate need of replacement. Only a few things new about the room, such as the tv and dehumidifier. There's a notice that - if the dehumidifier was noisy (it was) - plug it back in the morning. Nothing like thoughts of mould dancing around your head at night.

My room had a king bed set up on the wall opposite the window, a couch with large coffee table, table and chairs. Everything (but the worn carpet) was clean. One wall was missing a picture. Big storage drawers. A closet with iron and iron board. Tub had tub surround; bathroom was a good size.

No business centre. There's a seasonal outdoor whirlpool; no indoor pool. The fitness room is available till 10pm. It's the size of a small hotel room. One old and noisy treadmill (with a sign to get off it to adjust the incline), a stationary bike, and a Weider fitness station. No water cooler. The tv in there works fine, but don't look for a remote. The round dial on the tv turns it on and adjusts the volume. The air conditioner in there looked like it was past its best before date.

Staff are friendly, and I enjoyed lunch in the restaurant. Free shuttle service can be arranged. Convenient location to the mall.

“Not a bad spot”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 July 2006
2
people found this review helpful

First of all, this hotel is not part of the Coast Hotel chain. Just returned from a stay at this hotel. This hotel was probably constructed in the late 80's as it has a feel from that time period. The hotel is provides basic amenities. It is clean, well maintained and the staff is friendly. Accomodation options are relatively limited in Powell River. By far, this one is the best of the bunch.
