If you are looking for a hotel with character, than look no further. Our room was clean, had a varnished wooden floor and the bed was comfortable; no water problems and we barely heard the work mill outside. The hotel is located in the historic townsite of Powell River and is within walking distance of the Patricia Theatre, the Townsite... More

We were shocked when we drove up to this run down building and realized that this was the Rodmay hotel we had booked for our trip to Powell River because of it's good rating on Trip advisor - we thought there had to be some kind of mistake! First of all, you should have to go through the mill security... More

At first and second glance, the Hotel is elderly and perhaps past its prime. Once inside, the staff very welcoming and helpful and more than make up for the aging decor. The Lobby a step back into time. Very interesting paintings and old photos. The rooms simple, clean, very quiet and good beds. The Hotel convenient to the Patricia Cinema... More

I stayed in the Rodmay last night. The bed was very comfortable, and despite being in a room facing the mill (this hotel was originally built to accommodate mill workers over 100 years ago), it wasn't very noisy at all! I had a screen in my window, not that it matters as it was snowing, and I had the heat... More

Discovered Powell River Townsite from the very helpful Guide at the Information Centre. Enjoyed the morning wandering around the Town admiring the 30s buildings and quiet streets overlooking the ocean. Came across the hotel at the end of our walk and were delighted to find a 50s cafe. The food was good and the attention to detail with memorabilia from... More

We stayed in one of the penthouse suites recently and enjoyed our experience greatly. Powell River is a delightful little town especially in this area where the historic townsite is a charming place to walk around and the beaches are free of crowds but fresh and clean and warm. The Magpie Cafe in the hotel is a screaming deal. The... More

I visited the Rodmay over the Easter weekend 2012. I hadn't been in Powell River for many years. I am so glad I stayed here. What a treat! It's part of BC and Powell River's history. Expansive foyer, winding staircase, very large rooms (at least the one I was in), and quiet. Some of the amenities of new hotels not... More

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the unique Rodmay Heritage Hotel in December, 2011. It is being lovingly restored and expanded to include small businesses and local arts endeavors. Our room was super clean, cozy, with an excellent bed, and friendly service. We ate incredibly well in the Magpie Diner, the food was fresh and home-cooked and delicious at every... More

Three of us visited for a weekend and loved the atmosphere. It is being lovingly restored. The food is great at Magpie's. It is very clean and comfortable, and the staff very friendly and accommodating. On the downside, the tv wasn't working and despite several requests, was never attended to. Hot water was slow, but to be expected in a... More
