A comfortable base in Charlottetown

This was a good base for our single night in Charlottetown. The room was spacious and comfortable and the shower was good. The breakfast was decent, much better than you normally find with an included buffet. All the staff we interacted with, at reception and at breakfast, were proactive and helpful.
