We spent the August long weekend at this hotel. This is our forth stay at the Charles Inn in the last two years and will we will definitely come back again. We usually stay in the Premium rooms, which are more expensive than the Deluxe and Petite Rooms. As it goes, you get what you pay for. We love the Premium rooms, especially, the one we stayed in this time. It had "a walk-out balcony with stunning views of the golf course." Thank you to the staff for honouring our request! Overall, the hotel staff is extremely professional, friendly and efficient. No issues with the check-in and check-out, in-room services, etc. The location is very convenient as you can walk along Queen street in the morning when there are no crowds; and when it gets busy, you can rent right at the hotel or hike or play golf. Thank you, everyone, who made our stay a wonderful experience!

very quaint and quintessential. excellent food - had dinner at the restaurant. Great customer service and friendly staff. Great location. Rooms were a bit small - was hard to maneuver in the room - couldn't even bring up suitcases - nowhere to put them.
