The Great George

Beautiful old house

Nothing

Location Staff were very nice.

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.

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.

incredibly beautiful historic hotel in a wonderful city

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.

Great location and access to great restaurants.

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.

Great experience. Location, breakfast, bedding, toiletries , free parking, afternoon cookies and drinks all added to a wonderful stay.

Breakfast was phenomenal. Lovely heritage hotel in the centre of town. Easy free parking at back of hotel.
