Not to mention PEI is very comparable to the "Heritage Park" we have in Calgary. That being said, I had the full package of experiencing the "old days"! You would not regret staying At this place.
Cons: I wish they have mini fridge in their rooms

Pros: We really enjoyed the sense of history. Had a great time browsing the books, specifically,"Those Splendid Girls." There was quite a bit of noise from upstairs guests, walking and rolling luggage across the floor, etc. But also an expectation in an older historical motel. The staff were wonderful and very attentive, the wifi was non existent but also not a huge issue while enjoying a wonderful old building. Beds were clean and comfie. Breakfast was nice and readily available every morning with very attentive staff. Loved it overall and would def recommend to friends. We will certainly return.
Cons: Wifi
