From West to East

We stayed 3 nights. Great location. Walkable to restaurants, bars and the waterfront. The standard queen room was large. Very high bed with a couch, fridge. Can do laundry on site for a small fee. Also a gym. The breakfast was fine with a few hot items. Note: This is not a hotel. It is a motel with free parking. It suited us fine. They also offer a manager's reception but only on weeknights. Staff on site were very nice. No elevator so there are stairs. We liked it. It was budget friendly so we could spend more money in the local restaurants. But if you want a hotel and the services that they offer it's probably not for you.

We stayed at the hotel on Pownal Street the night of May 16th, 2025 for one night. We appreciated being able to check in early; however, the process felt disorganized. The staff member who greeted us mentioned she was new and didn’t know how to complete the check-in. Meanwhile, several other employees were chatting nearby, but no one stepped in to assist or offer a warm welcome. We paid over $200 for a superior king room. The room itself seemed recently updated and was generally comfortable, but the bathroom had not been renovated to the same standard. The faucet in the shower didn’t seem to work properly, and the toilet was positioned so close to the door that it was awkward to use. There was complimentary coffee and tea available 24/7, which was a nice touch — but unfortunately, there was no milk or creamer provided. We were told to ask the front desk for it, but when we tried, there was no one available. As a result, we had to head downtown instead and didn’t really get the full use of the amenities the hotel offers. Overall, the main appeal of this hotel is its location — it’s within walking distance of the waterfront and everything in downtown Charlottetown. Just be aware that you’re mainly paying for convenience, not necessarily service or comfort.
