Marland Motel

We booked a cottage. Although it was marketed as having kitchen facilities, the amenties were lacking, there was not even a coffee maker or can opener and all the cooking pots and dishes provided were in poor condition. Certainly this motel could benefit from some updates, but the manager was friendly, accessible and the cottage was very clean.

Very basic accommodations. Firm mattresses. A little noisy from highway/road noise. No AC, so could be unpleasant on very warm night. A couple moths in room (no idea where they came from). But good enough for the price.

The place is old and run out; the bathroom door have a huge hole. I have to use my tools to fix the table that was failing apart. The main door to the street has only one of the privacy locks and none of the pictures on EXPEDIA reflect the real property. I decide to leave the first day and I call the manager at 8 AM (Check out is at 11 am) I was told That i have to pay for the whole stay (12 days). I asked for a copy of the Motel Policies and the Manager was just making up rules on the spot (By the way, if you dont clean up the place after you leave is a $50 Dollar penalty). I asked for help to EXPEDIA and the person I spoke agree with the Manager, even the only rule for cancelation apply to a no Show Guest. I was told that I was being given a break and I have to pay or stay 48 Hours but beacuse it was Monday I already got charge the night (even still hours away for the check out of the 1st night) So the choice was to stay or pay 72 hours or pay the 12 dyas, Also the Manager already charge the whole stay the first day, no pending but charge to the credit card. A few more things about the room. No coffee maker machine, not hair dryer; everytime I use the hot water I was afeaid the pipes will explote as they make so loud noise. The bedding smell musky and even the towels are old. I asked for a rag for the kitchen and I got one full of hair and smell bad , I had to buy supplies from the store to make the stay bearable. I was surplrise of the lack of help from Expedia,

The price is right for a quick stop. If staying for longer than 1 night, bring your own pillows. I can do a maximum of 1 night on a flat pillow. The room was clean, but dated. Screens for the back windows would be appreciated. A coffee pot (1 instant coffee packet was provided) would also be nice. Jenny was friendly and accommodating.

Room was old and had seen better days. Full daylight around the door, concrete sidewalk broken. Spider webs and spiders inside suite, bed was hard and had a 50 yr old bedspread. Some permanent residents live there. No dishtowels and very small towel for showering. We had a kitchenette but the cabins looked cute. Don’t think I would stay again

No a/c so I appreciated the fan.. bed wasn’t very comfy..the fridge froze my milk(may be an operator problem) and I couldn’t figure out how to work the tv(again may be an operator problem)

Decent enough place. The lady who runs thr joint was super nice. But it needs some love. Also needs AC. Holy bajeebus. Either sweat your butt off with the windows closed, or keep em open and smell the weed the downstairs customers are smoking.

Didnt have an air conditioner . But put fan in room. It worked ok. We stayed 3 nights the 2 garbage cans were over flowing in our room .

Overnight stay Would be nice if they had coffee in the rooms. Very clean rooms Would stay again

The kitchen was nice to have although not equipped very well. Upon checkin I informed them that we would not be staying all 3 nights. I understood we could not cancel the 3 night but was not expecting to be charged the pet fee for the night we were not there. The staff were friendly but often not available

Clean, friendly, no frills motel. Glad places like this exist. Just needed a place to sleep comfortably without breaking the bank. Very satisfied.

Dirty, sheets and blankets stained and dirty

The beds were old. The pillows were flat, the room smelt and looked like it was a smoking room at one time very outdated.and smelled old and musty

The staff were friendly and helpful throughout my visit.Check in and check-out were smooth and efficient. I had a disappointing experience during my stay. The room had a strong, unpleasant smell, and the carpet flooring seemed to be the source of it. The beddings were also in poor condition — they looked old, felt dirty, and had a noticeable odor. Cleanliness and comfort are the basics I expect from any hotel, and unfortunately, this place did not meet that standard. I would not recommend staying here unless improvements are made.

Large, clean room.

stunk like cigarette smoke and had very old dirty looking furniture

Very affordable motel, it was the best price and very limited rooms available in Powell River when I booked. I got exactly what I expected that I paid for. One bed was fantastic, my son‘s bed was a little harder. The ratings was more for the black Areas around the tub that were covering the bottom two tiles of grout. Other than that, I had no complaints. I was in room four.

Very clean and tidy.

Good value for the price. No problems. Clean.

Basic clean old fashioned motel

The bed smelled like urine and was extremely uncomfortable. It's not worth staying here.

Cheap Price. Beds were comfortable. Basically all I was looking for. A shower and sleep

Older building and old furniture. Shower curtain fell down and couldn't get it back up. Place was clean and felt safe as out of town.

Good little hotel, no frills, big rooms .

Very basic accommodations. Firm mattresses. A little noisy from highway/road noise. No AC, so could be unpleasant on very warm night. A couple moths in room (no idea where they came from). But good enough for the price.

Large, clean room.

Door didn't shut properly. No (working) safety chain on door. Mattresses and pullow

Very old and very uninviting No one in the office to check us in Had to knock on someone else’s door to find out where the owner was and she phoned her to tell her we were there Some water issue in the bathroom Floor was wet Bedspreads appeared old and needed a good cleaning as did the rug Would not stay here again and would not recommend any one else to

It was what I wanted. A low cost motel. That was clean, warm. And we had good service. I was very happily with our one night stay

I liked everything about the property-room, bed, bathroom, grounds and friendly owner. I don\'t like Google telling people that this fine establishment is "permanently closed". Marland Motel is very much open for business.

checkin was a bit of a hassle as no one was there. phoned and no one answered. i was there early, however, and I knew that but I was hoping for early check-in or at least to drop some stuff off before visiting a friend further into town. no ice machine, one light was out, jeez maybe i should have given it a 2.

I am sorry that my phone is not working while I'm in Canada, and the office at the Marland is not open. There is a faded note with phone number to call upon arrival. The office has posted signs regarding the COVID pandemic to wear mask and to call rather than an open office. I felt a bit desperate because my phone doesnt work, so I tried knocking and I walked around the office to see if I could find anyone home. It looks unlived in and unkempt. No one was there. THere is a resident in one or two of the rooms. I innerrupted one of them and they were generous, and said they would call the office people for me and "they will be right up". As I waited for a short time, 10 or 15 minutes, I began to feel uncomfortable about the combination of a dirty office with messages that apear old, no one on site office not attended as the expedia site advertisment says, residents living there but apears to be no guests, I felt a vibe that said I would not feel comfortable sleeping and staying there. And so I left, knowing I can not get refund. I felt better as soon as I drove away. I went to tourist visitor site in Powell River and was directed to a safe, clean and quiet place for same price I paid for Marland.

The lady who checked us in was very friendly and brought us extra towels etc because we are a family of 4. We had a late check in at 10pm too. The room was good and clean considering it's the cheapest place to stay.

Manager Jenny was great and friendly

Lady was very helpful

Clean room, a bit dated but had everything I need. Front desk was cheerful and let me check in early. Would definitely use this again for myself.

The kitchen was nice to have although not equipped very well. Upon checkin I informed them that we would not be staying all 3 nights. I understood we could not cancel the 3 night but was not expecting to be charged the pet fee for the night we were not there. The staff were friendly but often not available

Short stay for a summer wedding. Close to the two ferry terminal’s and 5 minute drive for shopping

Really nice staff and convenient to drive to town but not the cleanest. It does the job for one night.

Very basic accommodations. Firm mattresses. A little noisy from highway/road noise. No AC, so could be unpleasant on very warm night. A couple moths in room (no idea where they came from). But good enough for the price.

The beds were hard but okay. The bathroom was beautiful. It was very good for the price. Location was excellent .

Quiet, clean and corny decoration. Nice host and okay value for money.

Nice location and the property looks clean. No rack or soap stand in shower room; hot water run out at the beginning of shower on the 2nd day, very unsetting; the land lady said the fuse jumped but all the plugs work fine at the time.

Quiet setting
