Harbourside Inn

This is an older building in the traditional downtown portion of Campbell River. Thus the pricing was lower than other hotels in the neighbourhood, and was attractive to our family budget. What I didn't know, but discovered upon our arrival, is that this facility, in addition to providing transient and tourist lodging, is part of the communities on-going accommodation for the economically challenged people of CR. The neighbour is dead after 7:30 pm; at least two street missions (fixed in place and mobile) serve those who congregate on the sideway outside the hotel; signage in multiple places caution us not to leave valuables in our cars. Homelessness and economic hardships are at epidemic portions across Canada and all citizens need to be willing to address those needs urgently. Thus, I commend the staff and owners of the hotel for contributing to the shelthering of those of CR in need.

Very old property, dirty hallways, poor security, good location next to shopping and pier

The "Inn" is next door to a soup kitchen, is home to drug addicts, has water damage on the ceiling in multiple areas, and reeks of all kinds of smoke. Got there late at night and the staff had to come unlock the door to let us in due to the large presence of homeless people in the area. Only good thing about our stay was the water pressure in the shower.

I saw a good deal and went for it but didn’t stay. Followed sat nav and passed lots of down & outs/junkies. Didn’t even want to leave my rental car in the car park as it felt unsafe. I said to very nice receptionist that I couldn’t stay as didn’t feel comfortable. She said it’s downtown and a lot of workers stay there. I left & camped out of town feeling much more relaxed. I don’t think it’s a bad place but not my kind of place..

Wouldn't stay again. Scetchy area.

Should not be advertised as a hotel

The staff were great. Meeting all our needs. Friendly guests.

Don't take your girlfriend there, lol. It's homeless row right there. There's a community kitchen attached next door and understandably it's homeless person hangout area. I'm kind of used to it where I live but didn't expect it on vacation. Never felt unsafe or anything and the actual room was fine but certainly wouldn't stay there with a travel partner of any ilk.

i already wrote a review, not sure why i'm being asked to do it again. Fine place for a single guy but wouldn't stay there if travelling with anyone.

Many homeless people nearby. Sign saying no smoking marijuana in the entrance. Hotel itself in great location in city but poor condition. Dried blood on sheets which had been cleaned, noone could find tv remote, etc. Please no longer recommend this hotel.
