Charlottetown Motels

Clean and convenient, the configuration is real. Disadvantages are no elevator.

The hotel is right by the road and it is easy to find. It looks like a small hotel opened by a Chinese family. It is very convenient to check in. The hotel is about 10-15 minutes drive from the downtown area, which is relatively convenient. Breakfast is relatively simple, with milk bread, fruit coffee, etc., can fill your stomach!

We had a change of plan prompting us to arrive in Prince Edward Island one day earlier than planned. In trying to look for available lodging options last minute, a familiar name came up: Royalty Maples. We had stayed there 15 years ago and knew that we would have decent accommodations for one night. When we arrived there this time, my jaw dropped at the complete refurbishment of the whole property. Gone was the 1970’s decor, replaced by something that fits in the 2020s. The two bedroom cottage now had 2 queen beds instead of two doubles. They were on modern metal frames with solid wood headboards. The furniture in the living room/dining area were also replaced. It now gave off a very modern, appealing interior vibe. There was also brand new contemporary wood flooring throughout the cottage. The TV was a wide screen flat panel HD TV that replaced the small 12” square glass tube TV the last time we were here. The kitchen appliances were also modernized, with a stainless steel look as well as an over the stove microwave oven. There is still a toaster and filter coffee maker in the cupboard. There is basic cookware, plates, cups, and cutlery in case you’d like to dine in the cottage. Behind the oven and sink was a tiled backsplash which shows the intricacy of their renovations. The bathroom was also completely refurbished. The new LED lights made it a lot brighter as well as new faucets and a new water saving toilet. On the outside, the front patio, patio furniture, siding, and roof have been completely replaced. There was even a compact propane barbecue in case we wanted to have a BBQ. Most impressive was the installation of mini-split style air conditioning units that will easy cool down the whole cottage on hot days. I remember the previous in wall AC units barely were powerful enough to keep the cottage cool. One welcome constant with both our stays was the helpful staff. They were able to assist and answer all our questions even though I saw them busy with other tasks on the property. Kudos to the owner of Royalty Maples for turning this place around, delivering on value. In other words, you’ll pay less for what you’re getting in comparison to the competition. My previous rating was a 3, it now merits a 5 based on the hard work they have invested to improve the place.

Breakfast is not self-service, there are fried eggs, beef, and generally, not Chinese taste. There is a parking lot but there is a charge. There are many hotels not far from the hotel, and the Lobster Hotel is also nearby.

It is a great hotel, warm and romantic, clean and safe, especially the breakfast is very exquisite. I think it is the highest hotel in Canada I have ever stayed in.

My family and I left Toronto on August 28 2023 and arrived in PEI on the 29th having pre-booked a cottage in Tracadie for 2 weeks. The only thing I will say about the cottage is that it was inhabitable. We decided to drive to Charlottetown, find a hotel for one night and return to Toronto. Having stayed at a number of Quality Inns driving to and from Florida, for many years finding a Quality Inn for one night in downtown Charlottetown was a breath of fresh air and what a find! The kindness, warmth and compassion shown to us by Tanya Bevin General Manager and the young lady at reception touched our hearts. Tanya was able to secure two suites for us for one night, one at the Sutherland House and the other at Holland Grove House two separate buildings outside the main hotel. A read on the history of the ‘Inn on the Hill’ and the two buildings is a must. The Inn is within walking distance of virtually everything. The two suites were unbelievably clean with a four poster king size bed, armchairs, desks, A/C, TV, fireplace, bay windows, wood floors and a kitchenette equipped with a full fridge, microwave, table and chairs.The bathroom had a shower etc. and outside the bathroom was a tub with a privacy screen. We had more towels than we would ever use. All the comforts of home, plus. Exactly what we needed for a good night’s rest after a horrific start to our PEI holiday. Tanya, excellent job in selecting, training and mentoring all members of your team. This is what sincere and warm hospitality ought to be. You, Francie, Jenn, Cathy, Sanjeedah, cleaning staff and Mayra in the dining room have shown us just that. Your team has commitment, superior people skills, attention to detail, teamwork, enthusiasm and a great attitude. You and your entire team bring your A-game every day and night and always with a smile. Thank you. . Needless to say, we decided to stay for another week. There is so much to do and see that a week is not long enough. From the quaint villages, red sand and cliffs, lighthouses, beaches, seafood restaurants and bars, some with live music, The Farmer’s Market on Sundays, numerous historical buildings, shopping on Victoria Row, the waterfront, the Anne of Green Gables shop, farms, fishermen bringing in their day’s catch at the North Shore, hiking trails, places of worship and so on. Let’s not forget the gentleness of the Islanders. As Charlottetown has been the birthplace of Confederation since 1864 every street walked, every building and every corner passed envelops you with history. Living in downtown Toronto, I was in awe. So many adventures and more history is waiting for us. We are already planning a return trip to PEI next year.

Much better than expected, low expectations, but the service is pretty good, the room and bathroom are newly renovated

This is a family owned B&B consisting of threerenovated older homes on a quie tree-shaded block within walking distance of downtown Charlettetown. Brothers s Sam, Jake and sister Tess run the more visible operations at the front desk and breakfast kitchen while Mom and Dad manage from ”behind the scenes”. We stayed here for two nights at the beginning of a bike tour around the island and for one night after. We had the same room on both stay in the middle of the three buildings which also appears to be the most recently constructed. Even though this building was not as old as the other two it appeared to be recently updated with modern furnishings and fixtures. We found it adequately spacious for our comfort level and climate control was easy to adjust.

My husband and I recently got married at the Rodd Charlottetown, and we loved our experience! The staff were incredibly kind and accommodating, going above and beyond to ensure the day went smoothly and all of our needs were met. The price for the services rendered was very reasonable, and the food was absolutely incredible. They helped make the day truly memorable!

This hotel is a big, beautiful building in a very busy area. It looks so attractive and is newer. All we ask is that a room be clean and comfortable. We felt the front desk clerk was very unfriendly and mechanical, never smiling to welcome us, just doing his job and handing us the key and information. Even though we know the hotel is newer, the carpet in our room was very worn. The bathroom, which should be the cleanest area of the room, was the worse. There was missing grout around the tub, and in places mold/ mildew was present. The tub/ shower was also very slippery, with a smooth surface on the bottom. The bathroom had an access panel for the plumbing which was rusty. The carpet in the hotel hallway was newer and still had a very strong chemical smell. The breakfast was a typical hotel fare, with mostly carbs and fake/ processed meats. Finally, though the location is convenient, the road by the hotel is very busy and you can only turn one way out of the exit to the hotel. If you want to go the other way, you have to go up and make a u turn or go very far around a block. Not convenient, not clean, not comfortable. We won't be back.
