The YukonHome/Where to stay/Courtenay/3-star hotels
3-star hotels in Courtenay
A shortlist of 8 three-star hotels in Courtenay, from downtown addresses to lodges out towards Mount Washington. It is for travellers comparing central, walkable stays with quieter, outdoors-oriented bases in the Comox Valley.
Staying in Courtenay
Courtenay sits on Highway 19 on Vancouver Island and is the commercial centre of the Comox Valley, known for fishing, hiking and skiing at nearby Mount Washington. Visitors come for outdoor recreation, and the town itself keeps a walkable core: downtown puts shops, restaurants and the Sid Williams Theatre within a few blocks, while the harbour area along Comox Road offers waterfront views, a marina and a walkway a short drive away.
Most hotels on this list cluster around downtown and the Cliffe Avenue strip, 0.5 to 1.6 km from the centre: Old House Hotel, Best Western The Westerly Hotel, Coast Courtenay Hotel and Holiday Inn Express & Suites Courtenay Comox. Further out are Kye Bay B&B near the bay, Two Eagles Lodge on the Old Island Highway and, up towards the ski resort, Park View Place and Inglenook. Couples and short-break visitors tend to favour the central addresses, families the pool-equipped hotels, and skiers the Mount Washington-area stays.
