We stayed in the King room just inside the side door. The bed was so comfy and the room was clean. The only thing about staying near the outside door is that is noisy. When other folks come and go at night you can hear them and the door. We stayed during here when there was a large hockey tournament (that we were not participating in) and some of the folks had a late night and made a bit of a ruckus when they came in. I'm sure any other room would have been quieter. The bathroom is on the small side but clean and had lots of towels. Good water pressure. Breakfast has a good amount of options. There is no elevator in this hotel.

I know there aren't a lot of choices for hotels in PEI but this hotel was rather expensive for the price. The rooms were mediocre at best, certainly "good enough" for us but not for the price. We had a 5 month old with us and the room was so small we could barely get everything in there. Never thought id complain about floor space but honestly it was tiny. The staff were nice, location is decent of course not far from everything. The one thing that really bothered me though was they advertised breakfast and we got the hotel for that reason and it wasnt true. On the site they showed an elaborate meal with waffle makers and many choices. When We got there it was some dry muffins in plastic, bagels and some toast. That's it. When we asked about the meal they said its because of Covid, which is a poor excuse to advertise something they dont provide. So after the first day we started going other places for breakfast which sucked because we paid extra for this. Wouldnt stay here agian, sorry.…

Good Afternoon TrooperMax, Thank you so much for your review and for providing us with your feedback. We are sorry to hear that the room was small for your liking. We do have larger rooms (suite's) which if they were available, we would have been happy to try upgrading you if available for your comfort. I've also been researching our pictures and I do not see any that show waffle maker's as we have never owned them. I would appreciate if you were able to connect with me further on this as I would want to make sure we don't have picture's promoting this when we don't own any to offer in our Deluxe Continental Breakfast. For our breakfast, we do offer hard boiled eggs and one (1) other other hot item on a daily basis along with muffins, bagels/breads, cereals, etc. If you wish to speak with me further, I would be happy to do so. My email is gm@thehotelonpownal.com and phone number as 902 - 892 - 1217. Thank you and hope to speak soon. Megan H.

We stayed for two nights at the beginning of September. The little touches here were what really impressed us. The complimentary bikes, the conversation areas outside with propane fire pits, the attentiveness of the staff to name but a few things. The rooms are modern and spotlessly clean. Unfortunately I misplaced my wallet before we checked out and the staff helped out by trying to contact the restaurant I ate at the night before and even attempted to call the restaurant manager at home. Way above and beyond. Turns out I left it in the bed somehow. They then were kind enough to courier it back to me. I cannot say enough about how great the experience at this location was. I will definitely recommend this to all my friends when they want to visit Charlottetown.

The location of this place - in the heart of Charlottetown - is fantastic. The staff are wonderful - so friendly and helpful. The noise from the room above is unbearable. If you stay here, be sure to request a room on the top floor - unless of course you enjoy hearing a cacophony of noise above you.

Two nights with small family in double room. Nicely renovated and equipped. Location in downtown Charlottetown is great. Breakfast is complementary but hobbled by COVID measures. Welcome cookies and happy hour are a very nice touch. Plenty of parking. Five stars for the service, but 1 star for the beds.

We spent a night in Charlottetown at the start of our tour of PEI. Check in at The Pownal was efficient and friendly, our room was clean and comfortable with complementary fresh baked cookies left out for us. The hotel is quite central, just a short walk to local pubs, restaurants and sights. The breakfast was a brown bag meal as the dining room wasn’t open due to COVID, but the contents were nice including fresh baked muffins, granola bar, juice and fresh fruit.

The rooms were very clean and in great condition. Well stock and the suite is the way to go. Full fridge and all the amenities The getaway package included 4 Gahan beer and a $50 gift certificate you can use at numerous restaurants. The staff are so friendly and helpful. They took care of our every need. Even gave us nice bagged breakfasts because the covid protocols keeps the continental closed. The hotel is right in the center of things and a 5 minute walk to almost anything you would want to do. Quiet at night with off street parking. If you go to Charlottetown stay here
