Hotels near ARTWRX Studio Gallery, Courtenay

We stayed 2 days at the Bayview in Courtenay while visiting friends in Kamloops. The hotel is conveniently located right beside the river walk path. The staff were friendly and helpful. Our room was clean, quiet and had good amenities. The mini kitchen is very basic, but was fine for 2 nights. This is the third hotel I've stayed at in Courtenay and most of my stays are for business trips. My ranking for best hotels 1) Old House Hotel and Spa (love the apartments) 2) Bayview Hotel 3) Best Western (kind of a distant third) However, the Old House Hotel is very expensive (not a concern on business trips), So in terms of value, this would be my ranking 1) Bayview Hotel 2) Best Western 3) Old House

The property is exceptinally well maintained, rooms clean (a bit cramped though), and lobby/lounge very inviting. The service is the best part, very attentive and very guest service focused. Thank you Phone for your assistance all evening. Downside: noisy through the night (other guests), coffee maker in room not working, ice machine not working. Upside: Outdoor fireplace, BBQ, Heated outdoor pool, Specialty coffee machine in lobby and access to a microwave. Overall a pleasant experience.

Stayed 2 nights on a drive towards the north of  the island. Very comfortable rooms and beds.  Spacious and good bathrooms as well.  Looks like newly opened or refurbished.  The hotel is around 3 kms from the main streets but has a few shops  and restaurants close by. Breakfast was very decent for a Holiday inn express with sufficient options.  Staff was very polite and friendly, and checkin was a breeze. If you are staying longer , please remember to ask them to clean the room. It will not be cleaned unless requested. They have a free EV charging station at the hotel as well.

Stayed for one night after a fun day zip lining. Hotel was expected. Check in was easy and lady at the desk was so nice and friendly. Helped me with my luggage when she saw me struggling a bit. Room was very clean and basic. Everything worked. It had a Murphy bed in it if you had more than 2 which was kind of neat. I did not have a balcony but sat out by the ocean in a provided chair amazing view. I did not have any issues with noise and I had a highway side room. Hot coffee in the morning and I was on my way. Key got demagnetized after hours but picked up the courtesy phone and extremely helpful gentleman was there in a minute and helped me out. Not dining within walking except maybe the Chinese restaurant but it was closed on Tuesday. This hotel was as advertised and was less than $200 all in. I would come back. Close enough to Campbell River for dining.

Recently reopened and perfectly situated in the heart of Lund, the Lund Resort was clean, comfortable and very friendly. The bed was comfortable and the management and staff were kind and helpful.. Great food in the restaurant with a good selection of local beers and reasonable prices for both the hotel and restaurant. We will definitely stay there again.

The worst Ramada I've ever stayed in. An absolute dump! I should know, I paid for seven nights and every night I regretted my choice. Take a look at the photos, this demonstrates what we had to live with to try and make the heat bearable. Why so hot, the beds are located in a loft. All the heat collects up in the sleeping space, and little portable fans do absolutely nothing to cool things down. We had to sleep on top of the sheets in our underwear. Get used to sweating all night! The hotel staff refused to fix the AC. The first two days I asked three different staff if someone could fix it, only to be told that none of the AC works in the hotel. Bizarrely, when challenged that my friend two room doors down had AC, the staff members refused to acknowledge it as real. When I told them his room number, they still claimed that none of the rooms had AC. Talking to other guests, some had AC, some didn't. The ones that didn't were told nobody in the hotel had AC. This meant our patio door had to stay open all night long. So we got to enjoy adjoining rooms smoking on their balconies, which meant that as non-smokers we got stuck with second-hand smoke everyday and throughout the night. Other guests drinking and swearing on their patios, they might as well be doing it right inside your open doored room. Further, the hotel faces onto a busy highway, so all day and all night you get smashed with traffic noise. Half of the wall sockets don't work. The breakfast is mediocre at best. The staff aren't empowered to address any of the issues. Because the hotel is 50yrs old, it's dirty, worn-out, carpets and furniture are filthy, the bathroom is nasty, cleaning staff are absent on the weekends, etc, etc, and etc. I travel a lot. I would never recommend this hotel to anyone, even if it only cost $5 per night. Sadly I paid over $200 per night. Ramada, your should be absolutely ashamed of yourselves! Room 314 Jul 10-17, 2023

Wow, wow, wow. This was a delight of a find. Stunning location, super friendly staff and decent sized rooms. Located about halfway between Nanaimo and Ucelet/Tofino, its a wonderful small hotel with just a handful of rooms -perfect sized for a family of 4 and quiet. The lake is stunningly gorgeous and we made full use of the hotel's (free) kayaks and paddleboards. There is a hidden waterfall about 30 mins walk where you have to use ropes to get down (our kids, 9 and 14, LOVED it). We also saw the beaver (named Justin by the staff 😀). Basic complimentary pastries and tea/coffee for breakfast. Dinner was plentiful, delicious and not the standard fare - try the fry bread - and reasonably priced for the amount. Boats regularly parked up so must be a good place for locals too. Staff extremely helpful and friendly, which was the cherry on top of a wonderful 3 night stay. Ps The grocery store and taco truck are the last food stops for about 80km so remember to stock up if heading to Tolfino.
