Overview
by Courtney Elko
Located in Charlottetown on Prince Edward Island, just outside the downtown area, Rodd Royalty is one of five Rodd Resorts on Prince Edward Island. The pet-friendly hotel is less than a 10-minute drive to both the Charlottetown Airport and downtown Charlottetown.
Open year-round, families will love that kids 10 years and younger stay and eat free. Kids are also welcome to golf for free at any Rodd resort along with a paying adult.
Kids will love the 105-foot waterslide and indoor pool at Rodd Royalty, and parents will love the large suites that can fit families of five or more. The two-bedroom family suite features bunk beds, and the loft suites are bi-level, making them feel even more spacious.

For the price we paid, we expected a dive. Much better than that. Very clean, modern, friendly. My only complaint is that we were at the end of a hall and the exterior door in the hallway was loud whenever someone used it. We would definitely stay with RODD again.

I booked the room using BOOKING.COM and got an unheard of low low price. The room was fabulous to say the least, living room with french doors leading to the bedroom. Magnificent sleep and an absurd amount of pillows. Very clean inside and out. Had a late dinner in the restaurant and Kyro was very nice, dinner was great. Would definitely stay again !! Just wish the first person we saw at check in would have smiled and made us feel welcome .. she was not friendly at all.
