Hotels in PEI

Prince Edward Island has a few hotels.  However, the distinction between hotels, motels and inns is sometimes blurred.  The Holman Grand Hotel, still under construction, will be the newest addition this year.  The other major Hotels in the downtown core are the Delta and the Rodd Charlottetown.  The latter is part of a family of accommodations in PEI.  For a comprehensive list of hotels and motels, consult the list of 85 on the tourism website.

Hotel and Motel

The difference between a hotel and a motel is usually the drive up. Motel comes from Motor Hotel which means you can usually drive up to your room. Many motels are two stories but seldom more.  Some motels have banquet and entertainment facilities but not usually as elaborate as you would find in a hotel.  The other major difference is valet and room service that you usually only find in a hotel.  Hotel rooms open to an interior corridor whereas ground floor rooms in motels lead directly outside.  On the second floor there may be direct access via a balcony but sometimes you use an interior corridor to reach the parking area.

Whatever your preference, you have plenty from which to choose.  Read the listings, check the websites, and make your reservations.

    Our first time to PEI and we had a wonderful experience! We didn’t book ahead (although probably not a bad idea). We wanted to escape the major tourist areas and instead opted for a small Irish Community with lots of history and central to everything. . We found a little place called Kinkora with an Inn called Chez Shea. We were warmly welcomed by Annemarie and soon after her sister Bonnie. We soon felt like part of the family while enjoying a five star experience complete with spa. We truly came as guests and left as friends! We definitely will return!

      Thanks for your comments. I agree with you wholeheartedly. Our first trip to PEI was without a plan. I am glad you found a warm host to treat you like family. If you want to experience PEI, go to a bed and breakfast or an inn. Do some research and see if you can learn something about the owners before coming. I like your closing. When my wife opened our first B&B, her tag line was: Come as a guest and leave as a friend.
