An even nicer hotel room this time.
Pros:

I got an even better room this time! With a sofa and a table! It’s a bigger room.

Cons:

Maybe offer the complimentary drinks any time instead of just between 5-6 since there are no free bottled water in the room. Didn’t get the complimentary drink a couple of reservation back because it was maybe few mins after 6. Could’ve been nice after a 3-hr travel time to the hotel.

It’s my home away from home.
Pros:

A lot of options for breakfast. Love their complimentary drink. I appreciate the small thing like a quality toothbrush that they have. The people at the reception are always accommodating, pleasant and kind. Also, it’s like you have your own big dining area.

Hotel with charisma on PEI (Charlottetown)
Pros:

The "Hotel on Pownal" is rather s small hotel in the heart of PEI's capital Charlottetown.

I was welcomed very friendly by the receptionist in the evening who also gave me lots of precious information for my trip on the island the day after.

This time, I booked a "suite" for only a few CAD more, which is very much worthwhile any dollar. Very spacious and bright (got a suite right at the corner to the main street) with a nice tube.

Upon check-in I also used the small gym which is quite cool, located on the base floor.

The Hotel on Pownal does have character and individualism, which I enjoyed a lot.

Great place for a stay in Charlottetown and its vicinity.

Thank you so much!

Pros:

The location is super convenient

Cons:

The moment I entered the room, there is a strong moldy smell, and the creaking sound when lying in bed. By the way, the hotel didn't provide toothbrushes either
