Things to Know Before You Visit The Great George
Price and value
While specific rates fluctuate based on seasonal demand, this property sits at a higher price point for the local market. The value is found in the high standard of service and the historic character of the building rather than budget savings. Given the guest rating of 4.8, visitors generally feel the expense is justified by the attention to detail and the central location. Prices may vary depending on the time of year, with summer months commanding a significant premium due to the popularity of the region. It is worth checking for midweek rates if you are looking to experience the property without the weekend price tag.
Booking and check-in
The standard check-in time is 15:00 and guests are asked to vacate their rooms by a check out time of 11:00. Upon arrival, the front desk will require photo identification and a credit card for incidental charges. If you have specific needs regarding your stay, you should communicate your special requests directly to the property ahead of time. These are subject to availability and cannot always be guaranteed. You will find the specific contact details provided on your booking confirmation email, which you should keep handy. It is also helpful to notify the staff of your expected arrival time if you plan to reach Charlottetown late in the evening.
Location and getting here
The hotel is situated at 58 Great George Street, placing it in a prime position for exploring the historic district of Charlottetown. Travellers arriving by air will typically fly into Charlottetown Airport, which is roughly a 10 to 15 minute drive from the front door. While there are some public transport options including local buses, most guests find that the city is best explored on foot or by using taxis for longer trips. The property is centrally located, meaning you are within walking distance of the waterfront and various local government buildings.

The Great George features family rooms that are designed to accommodate groups larger than two, making it a viable choice for those travelling with children. The accommodations are described as elegantly furnished and often include separate seating areas, which provides more living space than a standard hotel room. While the property is family friendly, parents should note that additional supplements may apply for extra beds or cots, and these should be requested well in advance. The layout of the rooms reflects the historic nature of the buildings, so every room has a slightly different footprint and character. All rooms are strictly non smoking to maintain the air quality and preserve the interior fabrics.

Best time to visit
Charlottetown is most vibrant during the summer months from June to August. This is when the weather is warmest and the city holds various festivals and outdoor events. However, this is also the busiest period, so you should secure your booking confirmation months in advance. The shoulder seasons of late spring and early autumn offer a quieter experience with cooler temperatures, which is ideal for those who prefer walking the historic streets without the crowds. Winters in Charlottetown can be quite harsh with significant snowfall, making it a better time for those who enjoy a quiet, snowy atmosphere and indoor activities.
