Located in the old town of Powell River. Easy walk to the very good Townsite Brewing a couple restuarants and an art gallery. This isn't the "main" downtown of Powell River, but it is in a nice walkable area for evening entertainment. The hotel itself is unique. A number of odd features, but quite clean and the bed was very decent. No AC, so note that if you're travelling during a heat wave. Parking is an exterior lot behind the building. Tons of apparently free book on shelves thorughout the common areas, as well as lounge chairs etc.

The door to the room wasn't great, single handle with no standard hotel style lock.

Our room was small, but pleasantly furnished. I liked the historic aspect of this hotel originally built in 1911. The old photos of Powell River on the lobby walls are really interesting. I appreciated the strong water pressure in the shower and the bed was firm.

The exterior of the property is a bit run down. The storefronts that used to be in the same building appear to be closed, and therefore not maintained.

This place is amazing and has so much history ! We absolutely loved this place! The stair case in this hotel is beautiful , the wood work and character in this place is perfect. If you live old buildings with lots of history , you will love this place as much as we did . We will be back one day. And Charlie is such a great guy and very informative, thank you Charlie .

The Rodmay is a beautiful old gem. it was built in 1910 so be prepared for all that was 1910. We loved our stay, it still is an elegant old hotel. The owner was great , very responsive and helpful.

I loved this place but be prepared for a very old building.

Did not have breakfast, or any meals there, not available. Coffee and tea in room was good. Bed very comfortable, pillows. Very comfortable. Temp in room was just right. Very peaceful and quiet.

Suggestions, either a bar or. Bath mat for bottom of tub. A small table or more hooks to hang, robes in bathroom, maybe another small lamp , even with light and other lamp it was very dim, at one end of the room.

It really felt like I was dipped full-tilt into history, and that includes the view that looked out both onto the ocean and the paper mill. I felt like I was a traveller from the 30s. Plus the bed, while creaky and saggy, was unbelievably comfortable. They did a really good job in choosing bed linen, pillows and comforters. Great towels, too.

Most of the time, the internet was pretty sketchy. And I guess it's not ideal for someone who expects Hilton level amenities.

The staff was so friendly and made great conversation. We’re very flexible with providing storage in the hotel for my kayak when others in the area couldn’t. Was like a hotel in a museum and while that isn’t for everyone’s taste we enjoyed the extra features.

The hot water for the shower took an honest 10 minutes to get warm, which was quite inconvenient but it did get warm eventually!

This hotel was built in 1911, so the rooms have high ceilings and beautiful fir floors. The room is bedroom-sized with a bathroom, and there is a lovely lounge on the main floor if you want to sit and read a book. There is also a beauty parlor and dining room, unfortunately closed due to Covid, and a pub and cold wine and beer store which you access from outside. This place has a lot of charm, made me think of Faulty Towers in all the best ways! The staff were friendly and welcoming. The room was clean and well-stocked with the usual - soap, towels, coffee, etc. - and if you have time to wander around the main floor, you will find lots of vintage collectibles on display, like the reel-to-reel tape recorder/player in the hallway leading out to the parking lot. Yup, I am so old that I know how to operate most of the collectibles! We had limited time - I wish we had had time to really take in the charm of the historic section of town in which the Rodmay is located.

The bed was way too soft for us and tried to swallow us during the night. But with all the Covid disruptions over the last 18 months, it must be hard for businesses to maintain and upgrade their facilities. I would stay at the Rodmay again.

It’s a very old hotel, very outdated, described as beachfront but it’s all industrial infront. It is in a great location close to a few restaurants and a minute walk from townsite brewery. The staff are extremely nice and helpful. The gentlemen at the front desk was so polite, he deserves a raise!

The rooms are small and very old, the bed is very squeaky. The price is very steep for what it is. I paid 450$ for three nights, I could have spent the same amount for a 4star in downtown Victoria. But it is high season and the options are super low on the Sunshine Coast. I would stay again.

The owner was very hospitable and gave us a detailed introduction to the surrounding attractions and food. The location is close to the sea, surrounded by sea views, restaurants, and some historical buildings, the bed in the room is quite comfortable and we had a deep sleep.
