Book hotel wedding venues in Campbell River

"Painters lodge or bust "

"Our favorite place. "

"I made one mistake when booking this hotel: I only booked one night. Honestly, I should’ve just forwarded my mail and stayed for the week (or forever—who’s counting?). First, let’s talk pet paradise. The massive, perfectly manicured lawn made my dog feel like royalty. Not only was it ideal for romping, sniffing, and generally showing off, but they even provided bags and bins—which means no frantic pocket-patting while pretending to be a responsible pet owner. The rooms? Spotless. The thermostat was so easy to control, even I couldn’t mess it up (and I’ve lost arguments with microwaves). The bed was cloud-level comfy, and the hot water didn’t require an engineering degree to figure out. Now, let’s discuss the waterfront location. Stunning. It’s the kind of place where you stare off into the distance, pretending you’re in a movie montage, while your dog drags you toward a seagull. Breakfast? Complimentary and actually good—which is rare. Nothing like free waffles to make you feel like a genius for choosing this place. And the staff? Friendly, helpful, and not once did they look at me like I was a crazy person for traveling with a suitcase full of squeaky toys. In short: Highly recommend. Book the week. Bring the dog. Bring your appetite. Bring a change of address form just in case."
