This is a very old hotel in an old courthouse. The rooms are small, but furnished in old period pieces. Hallways are loaded with memorabilia and the rooms all have names befitting the courthouse heritage. Check in was smooth and friendly and neighborhood had a great Greek restaurant across the street with a discount for hotel guests.

Great place if you’re looking for a unique experience. Locally owned historic building with a quirky, somewhat bizarre decor & vibe, definitely not cookie cutter! Excellent cooked breakfast included.

The hotel is a historical building, located in the historical town center of Powell River. The staff was friendly and helpful. We got a free room upgrade, and our room was clean and comfortable. The room rate included a hot breakfast, great value for money.

We had such a lovely stay at the Old Courthouse Inn. Our room was beautiful, spotlessly clean and really comfortable. The view was gorgeous, and it was so peaceful and quiet — exactly what we were looking for. The air conditioning was very much appreciated during the summer, and there was plenty of parking, which made everything really easy. Breakfast was top notch, and a special mention has to go to the team in the café. They were absolutely fantastic — so friendly, welcoming and genuinely helpful. They really went above and beyond and were one of the highlights of our stay. A lovely, characterful place to stay in Powell River. We would absolutely recommend the Old Courthouse Inn and would happily stay again!

Staying at this property was so much fun. So many interesting things to look at, the staff were great (the hostage was a clever touch) the food was yummy. This property is full of history. I stayed in the jury room, the room was nicely decorated and the 2 beds (one mattress a bit firmer that the other) were different but both very comfortable. I had the best sleep in years. The room had a great view of the harbour, the mill and the concrete ships, The transom over the door in the room let in some light from the hallway at night but its all part of the experience. The room had no bathtub just a shower but as someone who has traveled extensively for work i can say without reservation that I had the best shower ever, I did not want to come out of the shower. I will definitely go back.

Beautiful well maintained building full of antiques with so much history & original character, located in the historical district. Nice safe area to walk & explore all the well preserved historical buildings as they were 100 years ago. Very nice & clean rooms. Bed in the ‘courthouse’ room was really comfortable after a long Sunshine Coast motorcycle road trip. The complimentary breakfast was fantastic. We stayed two nights & easily could have stayed longer. We’ll definitely be back!!! :)

It is a very old building and there were some issues one would expect with such an old place - plumbing was challenging, but functional, and there were sounds in the walls (mice?). But it did have character, the staff was great, the room was comfortable, and the morning breakfast was really good. The location was well off the beaten track, but if you have a car it is easy to get into the main part of Powell River, and to the beach :-)

Our room was beautiful and decorated with old-timey stuff, kinda like you're staying in an Edwardian grandma's guest room. AC was strong, water was hot and good pressure, bed comfy, Apple TV on the big-screen tv. Complimentary breakfast was excellent, both in taste and presentation, the best we'd had on the sunshine coast.

Not quite what I expected. The hotel is very quaint, historic and rustic. The included breakfast is good, however, the restaurant is closed on Mondays so you are out of luck if you are staying on a Monday. You can ask for a bagged breakfast, but it wasn't the greatest. There isn't much in the area, as it is the old part of the city.

All the antiques and each room had a different name and decor. We stayed in the Judges Chamber. The room was very small but great amenities like power packs to plug in USB cords. A Nespresso coffee maker with china cups and saucers. Glass wine and drinking glasses. The breakfast was awesome, once we got it. Breakfast isn’t available until 9 am. As seniors and early risers, we would have preferred 8am. We felt very sorry for the servers and manager as the Chef arrived about 20 minutes late. A little stressful if you are catching a ferry.
