Great breakfast, could use some exterior clean up
Pros:

We stayed a night after our flight into PEI. Was immediately disappointed by the exterior of the hotel, the door fronts and outside appear run down. There were some flower boxes but for the price I thought could have been more welcoming appeared to be a motel not hotel. However the room was clean and had everything you could need. Staff was super nice and breakfast was delicious hot real food.
