The hotel is well-situated in downtown Charlottetown within easy walking distance of the waterfront, shops, and a plethora of dining options. The rooms are comfortable and clean. The staff was friendly. A major and puzzling drawback was the rooms do not have safes or, unbelievably, mini-refrigerators. The staff, upon an inquiry, did bring a portable mini-fridge that could be used. Why a Marriott hotel would not have either of the two above items is beyond me. Finally, the parking was not included in the fairly high cost of the room rate and the buffet breakfast was significantly-over priced. Despite the negatives, we would recommend the hotel because of the location.
