I travel extensively for work and pleasure. I have reasonable expectations for this type of hotel/motel. They failed basic standards on every single metric. I would recommend staying almost anywhere else in Powell River. We rented 2 rooms for 2 nights, and left after the first night.
Cleanliness:
1) In one room, both beds had been slept in and the sheets not changed. Significant hair, fresh blood, and a link from a bracelet. When brought to attention of front desk, I was told I was wrong, and the sheets were clean. I have photos to the contrary. They did change the sheets.
2) Neither tub had been cleaned between guests – one had a used bar of soap, the other still had a towel on the tub spout.
3) The floors were not swept or vacuumed any time in recent history, let alone mopped. Under the beds were a particular treat.
4) Just generally dirty, despite recent attempts at renovation.
Amenities:
1) One room was missing the TV.
2) The kitchenette was a stocked with a mismatch of old and chipped dishware – think beer glasses and cheap and tired odds and ends from thrift store. Could be charming – but was not.
3) Loud air conditioners couldn’t keep room cool, even when only 23 degrees outside.
Weird stuff:
1) As per another review, reception said they couldn’t find the reservation (booked through Expedia 6 months ago), and then tried to charge an additional $50. A common scam here?
2) They were spray painting the roof when we were on site... including with cars in the parking lot
