“Can't get any better than this!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 24, 2012

The inn is easy to find and in a great location...on one of the main arteries into (and out of) the city but is tucked away from the road so you don't hear any of the traffic. Once you pull of the road you are in the country setting, not next door to the big box stores.
Our room was in the house at the far end of the hotel; 2 bedroom suite. It was large,VERY CLEAN, and included a full kitchen.
The office is decorated with many antiques.
There is a large grass area, including a wooden chair swing, adjacent to the Inn. The staff were very friendly and efficient. We highly recommend this place and would return without hesitation.

“great value and excellent staff”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed September 11, 2012

I stayed at the Graden Gate Inn twice this summer in July and again in August. The accdommodations were excellent for the price. The first time i stayed in the motel part and the second time i stayed in the house. The place was very clean and the service was excellent. The gardens were very beautiful and the staff take pride in looking after them. The staff at this motel were fantastic they go above and beyond to look after their guest. It is a very quiet place to stay but it is very close to everything you need for your stay on the island. I would highly recommend this motel to anyone looking for accommodations. A special hi to Faye and the girls hope to see you again next year for the country fest 2013. And if you need a taxi while staying there i recommend calling Goods taxi service and ask for Ray. He is the best cab driver anyone can ask for tell him the trivia queen recommended him.

There is nothing we like more at the Garden Gate than repeat customers who enjoy their stay and spread the word about the accommodations we offer which are excellent value all year round. We are very proud of our staff and the way they handle our guests and cater to their needs. Nothing is too much trouble and this year especially we are planning to improve our level of service beyond expectations. We know our property is a home away from home for those who stay with us- one of the advantages of being a family run operation- you never find a stranger at the front desk!

“Good Value”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed August 29, 2012

This is a typical Motor Inn from the 1970s. They seem very proud of their flower gardens and hanging plants. The room itself lacked most amenities, including an alarm clock. Very small bathroom. Very quiet for being next to a major road and a mall.

We took over the Garden Gate when it was already 10 years old and have invested every year in updates which include new beds, refurbished bathrooms, laminate hardwood floors, airconditioners, fridges and telephones as well as free internet but at the same time we have controlled our rates to cater to the budget traveller or those who do not want to splurge on frills. Guests can pick up hairdryers and alarm clocks at the front desk, we offer free ice and the sheer joy of ground level entry to all rooms- you can park at your door. Our improvements to the property are incremental and ongoing and we have added new spaces which are much sought after by our regular customers. For those willing to spend some extra dollars, we offer housekeeping units which are suitable for longer stays and also for residents in the winter.
We are really glad you provided us with the opportunity to respond to your review. Thankyou for taking the time to share your impressions with our future guests.

“Great value and location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed October 2, 2011

We stayed at the Garden Gate Inn for two nights in mid-September. The inn is easy to find and in a great location...on one of the main arteries into (and out of) the city but in a quiet part of it. Our room was in the house at the far end of the hotel; if I remember correctly, he called it one of their suites. It was large, very clean, and included a small kitchenette. One last note: antique lovers will adore the main office of the inn! We highly recommend this place and would return without hesitation.

“Good value and a very comfortable motel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed September 1, 2011

My aunt and I stayed here for two nights. The location was excellent - not too far from the airport, not too far from downtown Charlottetown, and with easy access to the highway. It's a very quiet motel, despite being just off the highway. The room was very clean and comfortable, although a bit warm until we turned on the air conditioning. There is also a pleasant garden with picnic tables - a nice place to relax when the weather is good. I would definitely stay here again.
