Great location but for a 5 Star rating I would have expected better.
Pros:

Location was great. Room was quiet,

Cons:

Rooms and furnishing are dated. Parking is limited for the amount of quests at the time we were there. Tables for breakfast could be better. Chairs are much lower than the tables, not very comforatble. In all, furniture in the lobby is outdated. Water pressure in the bathroom was ok at best. Appreciated the Happy Hour but unfortunately the wine being offered though it is for free was horrible.

A Great Stay at the Great George - it exceeded our expectations!
Pros:

My husband and I loved the Great George Hotel. We arrived on time for the "Happy Hour" and were pleasantly surprised. The bed was very comfortable and the breakfast was excellent - I was impressed with their gluten free options and they even had lactose free yogurt! Staff for both the happy hour and breakfast were pleasant and very helpful.

Cons:

The only issue we had was that there were no parking spaces when we arrived but after we spent time at Brackley Beach, we arrived on time to get a great parking spot on our second day.

Would not EVER stay here unless it is in the main hotel
Pros:

We had 2 nights after much wrangling, in the main hotel because they had placed us in one of the outlying houses and I cannot do stairs. We picked this hotel because they had an elevator as I am unable to do stairs. We had to transfer to one of their other houses and the place absolutely stinks - literally - of sewage. There are 3 dehumidifiers running constantly and the fan in the bathroom. It's abominable for smell and noisy where we will need to shut them down to be able to sleep. This is NOT a good place if you are not in the main hotel. If you are, then it is good. The breakfasts are excellent.

Cons:

See above

Good but price is quite sharp for the value…but historic places have a price, I supposed!! :)
Pros:

Very central

Cons:

Need final little touch…..no milk in the fridge for coffee just “whitener”…. For the price that I paid….! At least some little cups…! And unable to let the curtains open as there is a car park at the widow . Breakfast ok but eating in a living room…. For elderly this is a bit cumbersome…..

Good but formal atmosphere not as warm and welcoming as it could be.
Pros:

Location
Staff were very nice.

Cons:

The breakfast was lacking. No fruit, plain yogurt for a breakfast bowl, no nuts, oatmeal, maple syrup. No scrambled eggs. Some people don’t like quiche or frittata! Hard to find seating and some areas are awkward to actually eat breakfast because of big chairs and coffee tables.
The lobby area needs a refresh. It is dated and stuffy. Very crowded with overstuffed furniture.
The room was dark. Bathroom not easy for getting ready in terms of counter space and lighting.

Pros:

It is actually a set of old buildings in the center of Charlottetown. So rooms can be in different buildings but that is not an issue. Rooms very comfortable and clean. Perfect central location.
The only thing is that breafast is served in the lobby, so not everybody can sit comfortably and one has to have breafast sitting on the couch with the low table.

Cons:

There is no dining room for breakfast, that means no decent table to put a plate for breakfast. I was surprised to see such a situation at a 5 star hotel.

Execution does not match expectations.
Pros:

Property is a mix of inn and adjacent older townhouses. Our site was the "Dorchester" at the edge of the complex. An older tired Victorian 2BR with kitchen, the entire house to ourselves. Arrived on a hot June day. As others have noted check in staff was not very helpful in explaining the parking and layout of complex. Once in the unit, A/C was not working. Tried turning down. Just got hotter. Maintenance arrived after 10PM and determined units improperly vented to outside recycling heat into unit. Our first night was disrupted until 11 pm for emergency repairs. There is no way unit should have been rented with this potentially dangerous AC installation creating serious heat around drapes and windows. Only concession by management was $75 gift card on a $500 Canadian /night cost, two night stay. If you stay here carefully evaluate the various properties, I suspect others were much nicer than the one we were assigned. Also parking is not adequate for all the sites, on late arrival the lots were full. Otherwise location is excellent for experiencing the best areas of Charlottetown. Breakfast as others have detailed, nothing special and odd seating using the same chairs and sofas as the hotel lounge, balancing food on trays etc.
