Rodd Charlottetown Review

Built in 1931 of handsome brick by CN Railways, this five-story business hotel -- now part of the eastern provinces' Rodd Hotel mini-empire -- is right next to a shady park, just a few minutes' walk from most of downtown's attractions. It features Georgian flourishes inside and out, and has been updated and remodeled with a nod to its heritage. (The dusky lobby has the feel of a prewar Manhattan apartment building, with its vaulted ceiling and echoing floors.) Rooms have been tastefully remodeled in the mid-'90s with reproduction-period furniture. There are several newer suites, and the rooftop patio is also worth a look. A low-ceilinged indoor pool is open to guests on the ground floor. The hotel's Chambers Restaurant is open daily for dinner and features hotel favorites such as prime rib and salmon; there's also a lobby bar.

Facilities:
Restaurant; bar; babysitting; Jacuzzi; indoor pool; limited room service; sauna

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
