The Good
This hotel was very well liked by its guests, judging from the online reviews posted, and read recently in preparation for this report.
more Guests appreciated this hotel's downtown location and said that it was centrally located to a number of shops and restaurants and the waterfront. Guests appreciated the convenience of being able to wander and explore Charlottetown by foot.
There were a few comments from guests who appreciated the history of the hotel, which was built in 1931 by CN Railway as a stop along their route. Guests commented on authentic architecture and period pieces and described the hotel as charming and stately.
Guests praised staff and said that they were flexible to meet special requests and used guest satisfaction as the guiding principle for their work. Front desk staff were noted as being particularly helpful and friendly.
Rooms were described as clean, comfortable and well equipped and many guests were well pleased with the comfort of their beds.
Several guest reviewers were highly pleased with the quality of the food and service at the on-site restaurant.
The Bad
Occasionally there were guests who did not like the older rooms and wished they were made modern like other newly-built hotels. Areas of complaint in this regard had to do with older bathrooms without counters for toiletries or bathroom extractor fans, not enough easily accessible plugs for modern day electronics, a lack of space to lay out luggage, and rooms were awkwardly configured for doing make-up and hair.
Occasionally guests were disturbed by noisy guests in the hallways and in adjoining rooms or they could hear the elevator echoing noise into the room.
