Great place, well located
Pros:

The staff was amazing. We were travelling with our dog and it was super pet friendly, they even gave her a toy, a snack and some poopy bags.
The rooms are spacious, comfortable and super clean. They have a happy hour every day where you get to tastes local beers and wine for free.
The continental breakfast was also great.
Well situated in Charlottetown, you can walk to downtown.
They have a free level 2 ev charger, which was definitely a plus for us!

Cons:

Nothing

It was ok.
Pros:

Small rooms and common areas had an “old” smell. Had to ask for the room floors to be recleaned. Not cheap for what you get compared to the rest of the maritimes.
