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.

The key they gave us did not work, when we checked into the room, there was no soap in the washroom and no shower gel in the shower. The eggs in the breakfast was cold and we showed up right at 7 AM on breakfast started, this was not a great experience, unfortunately.

Our check in was quick and seamless.... the best I've probably ever had for a check in. Our front of house gal was polite, sweet, efficient and informative. Hotel is just a touch away from everything but worth the 8 minute walk. Room is clean. Fridge is cold. Options for drinks in room if you want to purchase.

Very clean inside and staff are very good. The view was not great, as a run down building with graffiti and a lot of trash outside.

Convenient and comfortable.

My boyfriend and I had a two night stay while in town to visit family. Friendly front desk staff and lovely lobby. Clean and very convenient location. Room had heat pump. No elevator and door to access room from outside didn’t always open with room key. Overall very comfortable stay.

Staff were great, but needs some work.

Hotel was in a good location but the noise was a big issue. There is very little soundproofing in the building so we were woken up by the people in the room above us who were not being exceptionally loud. You could hear everything from the rooms around us and from outside.
