Found this location on Expedia not knowing anything about Charlottetown. That being said, the room and location was perfect. Working walking distance to many, many wonderful restaurants and shopping areas. The evening happy hour was a wonderful surprise and the coffee and tea in the lobby was a welcome surprise. The ONLY minor opportunity that I wanted to mention is that a bit more variety at breakfast would be nice. Otherwise it was a perfect stay! All of the staff were welcoming and hospitable. Thank you.

We can hear all the noise coming from the bathroom in the room next door. It sounds like their shower is in our room. The noise is terrible. We can't even hear our TV. This is not acceptable.

Had you ever been checked into a messy room?
Yes, we had! Arrived at the hotel around 6pm, booked 2 nights with Hotel.com a month ago. Surprised to find that the room assigned was a mess, no housekeeping was done, after dragging the luggage up to second floor (no elevator hotel). We had to walk back to the reception on the ground floor. Ringing the bell for service as before to get someone to help us. After a long wail, finally got a room in a different building. It was late we had go out for dinner. Came back to find that the vanity sink was not draining, the shower gel was empty, the room was very noisy, from next door or upstairs or construction early the morning. Even worse, we got locked out next day (cards didn’t work). The receptionists said I could have demagnetized the cards. Easy to blame someone! I had carefully put one in my jacket and another in my back pocket! So much for responsibility and accountability here I spoke to the manager at checkout. BTW, I did participate the Green program I thought it was an excellent idea: if you don’t need housekeeping in a two day or more stay, they would offer you $10 credit towards your bill which I didn’t get anything mentioned. Spending my time to do this review during our busy traveling is to help the hotel to improve the quality of the services or you could lose more customers like us.

Noisy room, people tromping up and down the stairs, and the room mini-fridhe was really noisy at night. But the staff and amenities were delightful. Excellent breakfast. Nice area, good area to walk around in with shopping and restaurants.

This hotel has wood floor joist construction. And the rooms have hard surface flooring. With these two combined construction features we could hear everything going on in the room above us (footsteps, furniture being moved around, luggage being dragged around the room). When I complained at the front desk about the noise, they told me they get numerous complaints about the noise. Our sleep was disrupted and we certainly didn't wake up feeling refreshed and ready for our day of being Charlottetown tourists. One other complaint is that the shower curtain had not been washed and it made the bathroom smell dank. Unfortunately because of these couple of issues, we will not be returning to the Hotel on Pownal. On the positive side, we did enjoy the hotel's location (proximity to entertainment, the ocean, and restaurants). Also, the hotel has bikes available for hotel guests to use - complete with locks. So if you enjoy that sort of activity, it's a bonus that you don't need to rent a bike.

My wife and I stayed at this lovely hotel between September 24-27 2024 and I can honestly say that it was nothing but fantastic. The staff were extremely friendly and accommodating throughout our stay and went out of their way to assist us. When our flight was cancelled last minute and we had no place to stay for several hours they were very sympathetic to the situation and extended our rooms which we greatly appreciated! I’ve stayed at other pricier hotels in town for work before but I can honestly say that I’ve not had as great an experience as I had this week. Thank you again to the management and staff at the hotel. You have definitely gained a repeat customer with me. See you next year.

We just happened upon this hotel as the one we had booked screwed up and gave our room away. The staff was friendly and helpful. They have a complementary happy hour featuring local wines and beers. You are walking distance to downtown so you can see the beautiful city and visit all the unique shops and restaurants.
