This property was conveniently located close to the Charlottetown Confederation Centre & many great pubs & restaurants. It was an easy walk to the Harbourfront. Staff were very friendly, especially the girls at the front desk & the lady taking care of the continental breakfast, which was delicious. Complimentary coolers , wine or beerb in the lounge between 5 & 6 were nice, as was the conversation with the attending staff.

Nice hotel in a nice location. We loved walking arounf the neighborhood. There were historic homes in the area. It was an unexpected plus. The hotel was in a good location, we were able to walk to local attractions easily. Hotel staff was awesome, and very helpful. There was onsite free parking and breakfast buffet. The only negative was the thin walls. We could hear conversations in the hall.
