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.

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.

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.
