“Convention center”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 February 2012

Hi, I shared this room with my brother in law and our 2 boys for a hockey tournament. The room is a nice size and the tv was good. The room was vacumed and clean except for black stuff on the ceiling. The ceiling also required repairs to the gyproc.

The elevator was out of order all weekend. The security door was broken but it's not like you don't feel safe in PEI.

Breakfast was typical toast cereal coffee juice items.

Overall if you're happy with the price it's an ok place.

Good Morning,
I thank the guest for taking the time to comment on his/her stay at our hotel.
Please allow me to apologize for the non functioning elevator. Although the building is only two stories high, I fully recognize that this was still an inconvenience to you. We are awaiting specific parts to be shipped to the island for the repair of the elevator. I am pleased to read that this inconvenience did not prevent you from enjoying your stay at our property and I plan to share your observations with the hotel team.
I hope that we can welcome you back to our hotel on your futire visit to our city.
Sincerely,
Walter van Beek
General Manager

“Good amenities; good location; service could be better; clean”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 January 2012

Although this hotel has some great features I was left disappointed.
1. We booked as a group - the group rate wasn't much of a discount from market price.
2. Did not feel welcome as a group. We had to sign an additional agreement as a way to discourage misbehaviour of our kids.
3. Some of our group were placed separate from most in an area of the hotel with a group of rude people. Our complaints went unanswered.
4. Keys are a problem. We, too were given advice on keeping from cell phones, etc which I did. Key problems persisted. I became fed up with being blamed for their obvious problem.
5. Pool very over-chlorinated. Seven of our kids ended up with chlorine burns.
6. Interesting layout with parts of the hotel on opposite sides of the street. Could be marked a bit better as it is unique.
7. Clean.
8. Nice decor
9. Microwave & fridge cost extra.
10. Billing inquiries unanswered
11. Fitness centre good
12. Breakfast fine
13. Kids liked the arcade
I liked the hotel itself but didn't get a sense we were an inconvenience to some staff. They were pleasant enough but didn't seem equipped to respond to issues.

My name is Walter van Beek, General Manager of the hotel.
I appreciate receiving the feedback that this guest provided to us. We can always improve our overall product and service although I am happy to read that many aspects of your stay were enjoyable.
My team and I will carefully review your comments and address those areas that can be further improved.
It is correct that we discuss our quiet policy of the hotel with group visits and this is confirmed in writing. It is always a delicate procedure and I hope that we explained our reasons for this with you on check in. We truly go out of our way to protect the peace and quiet of the night time hours of all our guests and we have learned from past experience that the best way to convey this to all arriving guests on these busy days is that we have certain hotel rules that we ask all to respect.
I hope we did not offend you in any way during this process.
We look forward to your future visits to Charlottetown.
Thank you.

“Great Hotel On PEI”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 December 2011
2
people found this review helpful

I live on PEI but this winter my boyfriend and I decided to stay in Charlottetown for the evening. I was very pleased by the Best Western. The pool is very nice however they are doing some new renos so there is no longer a hot tub and no sauna. The room was very clean and the workers were all very friendly. It is in a very good location for downtown Charlottetown. Only a few minutes away from the mall and the Confederation Center. One of my faves on the Island for sure !

Room Tip: The kingsize beds are very comfy ! Spend the extra money for a kingsize then two doubles if you can!

I truly appreciate receiving this great review from the guest.
My team has worked extremely hard in refurbishing this property to bring it up to Three Diamond status.
The guest rooms have been completely renovated with new beds, carpeting, wall vinyl, granite countertop bathrooms, flat screen television etc.
We have opened a new breakfast room and all fitness equipment has been updated.
I look forward to sharing your observations with all hotel associates.
Thank you and we look forward to hosting you at our property in the near future.
