Beyond Bliss Suites & Spa

The rooms are new looking inside. We liked the cabinet to keep our suitcases handy, but hidden away. We had a second floor room. These rooms have a level entry from the street. There is also a third floor that is up one level of stairs from the street or two levels up from the parking lot. There is no elevator. The staircase to the parking lot was wooden, which was a little concerning in case of fire, but overall we were very happy here. We requested a room with an ocean view and are glad we did. There was a balcony with a small table and two chairs out the back door. There were a coffee maker and kettle in the room as well as plenty of coffee, teas, cups, sugar, and even cream in the fridge. There was a small bar fridge. It did not have a freezer compartment, so we couldn't refreeze the ice pack from our cooler for our trip home. We had also hoped there would be a microwave because we had restaurant leftovers, but there wasn't, so we ended up eating them cold. There are other rooms with kitchenettes, but we didn't book one. Room service was provided daily, but did not include making the bed. The towels were replaced, bathroom refreshed, and garbage emptied daily. There is a heat pump unit that can be used to increase or decrease the temperature of the room. The lowest setting for it was 17*C. We didn't see any staff for our entire 4-night stay. Unfortunately we arrived after their closing time, but we had been emailed instructions for retrieving our room key from a lock box. I did go into the spa office (which is also the hotel office) the next day to show my face, but the receptionist feel that wasn't necessary. We checked out before opening time in order to catch an early ferry, so we didn't see anyone on checkout either. A receipt was emailed to us on the day we checked in. All in all we were happier here than other places we have stayed in PR recently. We would stay here again.

Powell River boutique hotel Nice location. A handful of eateries nearby, liquor store. Community deck with partial ocean views. Quiet location, very near ferry.

Convenient, modern, comfortable.
