Top Courtenay Hotel Reviews
Anchor Inn & Suites, BW Signature Collection
"We had a family suite, was perfect for us. Clean, very friendly and helpful staff. Restaurant for breakfast was great. We had the pool to ourselves. Will stay again!"
Crown Isle Resort and Golf Community
"Comfortable clean well appointed lodging with a great view of the golf course and excellent service by the staff. We stayed in the Dorchester building which is beginning to show its age though continues to be a pleasant suite. We were very displeased to hear the high pitched whine of the industrial laundry on the lower level of our building. The noise started at 7am and was still on when we returned in the early evening. I would NEVER stay in that building again!"
Coast Courtenay Hotel
"Just missing a few things in the kitchenette like a knife, cutting board, kettle, tea towels and the coffee machine in the lobby made very watery drinks. Staff was great and everything was good. Bed was super comfy and bedding as well."
Waterways, A Boutique Hotel
"Great view from the room. Comfortable bed and all very clean. Walkable to ferry and restaurants."
Port Augusta Inn and Suites
"We would have liked the room to be done at least every other day. It was done after three nights. They gave us cleaned towels when we asked. Breakfast was ok. Coffee was good. Swimming pool a bonus."
