“great staff, good value, convenient area”

We appreciate the very gracious and accommodating front desk clerk Romaine, as well as other employees. The room where we stayed for about 9 days was comfortable and clean. We were able to get a rubber bathtub mat upon request. We requested and got a quiet room in a designated quiet zone, which is a good thing because there are many groups of teenagers staying there and they can sometimes be loud in their rooms and the corridors. The included breakfast buffet was the typical one to be expected at this type of property. The food tasted average, but it was plentiful and varied, and there were some healthy options. Scrambled eggs are in plain sight, but you sometimes have to hunt for the hard boiled. There is plain (unsweetened and unflavored) instant oatmeal, a godsend for guests who are trying to eat healthy. Also sweetened baked beans, a waffle maker, toast, bagels, some fresh fruit, flavored sweetened yogurt, good quality Higgins tea bags, Unfortunately, all the meat choices are pork. The buffet staff are very hard working and kept busy every moment at this popular hotel. Some travelers might prefer to stay in the charming downtown, but we like the plentiful hassle-free parking at this location. Also there are supermarkets, a cinema, and other convenient businesses nearby. Washers and dryers and a safe deposit box are available. The one inconvenience was the room window. The main problem was it was extraordinarily heavy to lift open. Also, the latch that is meant to keep it partially open was broken but never fixed during our entire stay. Staff did their best by providing various objects to prop it open, but maintenance really should have dealt with it. Even if you have a normal amount of upper body strength, you have to struggle to lift the heavy window with one hand while placing an object under it with the other hand. However, overall this is a great place. We give it our highest recommendation.

“Comfortable Hotel”

My husband and I stayed here for 2 nights while we were visiting PEI on a vacation to Maritime Canada. It seemed like a relatively new hotel and it was a very standard Holiday Inn Express. The room and the beds were comfortable. The manager on duty when we checked in was extremely nice when we discovered the room we had been assigned to had not been made up. We were given another room and a discount for the trouble for us to trapse around the hotel even though we did not mention any discount. The hotel is set back enough from the road to be quiet and it is convenient to get anywhere in Charlottetown.

“Decent family stay”

This was a nice hotel for a family getaway. It’s typical family spot, with decent breakfast, pool, and parking. The rooms’ layout is nicely thought-out and we had a comfortable stay. The only complaints are about noise, though we had at least one big group through in a tour bus and a kids’ team staying at the hotel at the same time as our stay. The hotel location is decent too for touring via car and it’s a short drive to Charlottetown downtown/waterfront. If you’re worried about noise then I recommend staying in a more ‘adult’ or upscale place.
