We stayed at this hotel for one night in August 2025. Price paid was close to $400. This price indicated to us that the hotel would be clean, quiet, and well maintained. Our room (115- avoid if you can) was literally right beside the staircase leading from the front desk, and also beside the door leading to outside. This meant we could hear everything going on at the front desk, and every time the door opened and closed with guests going in and out. We could also hear people walking around and using the bathroom in the rooms above and beside us. When the breakfast began at 7 am, we could hear everyone going down to the dining room, all the conversations, etc. The quiet time at night was 8 pm. Despite this, we were kept up into the night by the noise. We have stayed at many hotels and some level of noise is always expected, but for the price we felt that this was excessive. We asked for a refund of $100 when we checked out due to the level of noise. The hotel would only refund us $75 - looking at other reviews this seems to be their regular policy for dissatisfied guests. We also noticed that there was a lot of dust around the hotel - on the blinds at the reception desk, on the coffee table in the reception area, and behind the TV in our room. There was also a random electrical cord sticking out of the wall, which had been hidden by the curtains until we pulled them back in the morning. Overall, we didn't find this hotel worth the price we paid.

We called about an early arrival at 10am and were told we would be prioritized and it wouldn’t be long. At 11am we were told it would be by 2pm and then at 2pm we were told hopefully by 4. We got our room at 4.

Nice room. Happy that I was on the ground level given that we had a few bags. Has doors that open up to an inner hallway and outside (at least our room did). The inner hallway was a little musty and the climate control in the room behaved a little sluggishly. The rooms are clean and seemed to have been renovated. I’d stay again.

Great stay and breakfast

Beautiful hotel and a great location. Close to everything. We really appreciated the breakfast and outdoor seating areas. Neighbours are questionable. Ask for a room facing the driveway.

If you wish to be a walk away from downtown Charlottetown and all the historic sites, this is the place to be. We stayed in Suite 122 on the lower level, and could park our car (for free) in front of our room. The room itself is modern, open, and bright, and comes with a mini fridge as well as an air conditioning unit that means business. It also has a flat screen TV with a webcam aimed at the double bed, which was a bit strange. I was able to turn the camera away from us so we didn't feel watched. The bathroom itself isn't huge, but has everything you need. The vanity is the narrowest I've ever seen. My wife wasn't a fan of the super bright bathroom light which in her words made her look like "death warmed over." I especially appreciated the fact that all soaps, lotions, and hair products came in refillable, eco-friendly containers instead of in wasteful small plastic tubes. The water pressure in the shower was phenomenal! The King bed in our room was fantastic! The mattress was one of the best I've ever slept on, and the pillows were not too firm and yet delightfully supportive. A nice perk is the free weeknight Happy Hour in the lobby where soft drinks, local beer and wine are served. Also free are two regular Specialized bikes that didn't seem to be much in demand. We have to give a big shout out to the lovely breakfast lady who runs a tight but personable ship. Kudos for all the gluten-free offerings (including a separate toaster)!
