Fantastic little town with lots of character. Numerous places to eat and central to travel anywhere on PEI. Casa Mia is a superb place for breakfast. The Dundee Inn is centrally located and just a few blocks to Victoria Row.

This hotel is in the heart of shopping area, close to the university, and the Casino is only 10 minutes drive away. The road signage makes you stay alert as the signs are small and we missed the hotel's street and had to double back. Charlottetown is a quiet city, with decent restaurants and entertainment. We go once each year.

We love staying in the city as a home base to walk to a variety of restaurants and shows or to have a drink and to just take in the history and beauty of the buildings. PEI is a tiny island and we can travel to any event and go back to a city stay. Go to a show and dinner at the Arts Hotel Trailside Music Hall they don't disappoint with great local talent or the food.

The walk through Victoria Park and along the waterfront is beautiful. The downtown shops are interesting and inviting. The Stamper Block was of particular interest to us with its old buildings, interesting architecture and historical significance. The restaurants and shops along Victoria Row were excellent. Downtown parking was limited but we stayed at the Dundee Arms Inn and we were able to walk almost everywhere. Charlottetown was central to the beaches and other places we visited.

It is a beautiful place and very relaxing. The people we inter-reacted with were charming and considerate and just naturally nice. We rented a car and explored the island from top to bottom and the scenery is gorgeous when the weather co-operates. When the rains came it was like a deluge! The one thing to note is that it is relatively very expensive to eat out though the food was excellent. For example in certain areas they will charge $20.00 for a lobster roll and in others $30.00. Same roll, same amount of lobster, little difference in decor of premises. Same with oyster. One place will charge $2.50 a piece another $4.00. Best to do some research before you decide where to go. One thing not to miss is to have a lobster dinner at New Glasgow Lobster Dinners about a forty minute drive from Charlottetown. Best deal on the island where the size of the lobster governs the cost of your dinner which includes, soup or chowder,all you can eat buckets, of mussels, salads,lobster and a delicious dessert with tea or coffee. The prices start at $39.95 for 1lb and then $10.00 more for every extra half-pound. The 1 and 1/2 lb is the most popular and you won't be hungry after! There are many other choices on the menu if you are not into lobster. Even though it is a huge dining room try to get there early (they open at 4pm and close at 8pm as there are always line-ups but boy is it worth it!

I enjoyed visiting my nephew. I enjoyed where I stayed. The taxis were priced well gave rides quickly. The restaurant’s were very busy and required reservations. The food was fabulous everywhere we ate. Being a long weekend public transport was limited. We visited mostly and was unable to do a lot in the way of being a tourist
