Rodd Royalty is at 14 Capital Drive, where Highways 1 and 2 meet in West Royalty, and it is one of the island's most family-oriented hotels. The hotel has 119 rooms, an indoor pool with a waterslide, a free continental breakfast, a restaurant called Wally's, free self-parking and free in-room Wi-Fi. There is a garden, an arcade and game room, and a fireplace in the lobby, as well as an electric car charging station. It is a motor-hotel style property in a suburban setting, and its strengths are space, parking and facilities for children rather than a walkable historic location. It is a 4.5 class property.
Location and getting around
West Royalty is on the edge of Charlottetown, so this is a base for drivers. It is easy to reach the airport, the shops along Capital Drive and the roads to the north shore and the south shore, and the free parking is a real saving compared with downtown. The historic district and the waterfront are a drive away, not a walk, so plan to take a car or taxi into town for the walking tour and the restaurants.
The rooms and the feel
The room list is broad. The room list shows standard rooms with a king bed or two queens, a standard room with two doubles that is stairs-only, smaller queen rooms, motel drive-up rooms with a queen bed, an executive suite with one bedroom, a larger suite and a family suite that sleeps eight. That range makes it useful for families and groups who want to stay together, and the drive-up rooms suit travellers who want to park outside the door.
The pool and waterslide, the arcade and the garden give children something to do between sightseeing days. The pool is noted as closed from November 2 to 7, 2026, with a warning that dates may change, so confirm the pool dates if the waterslide is part of your plan.
Who it suits and what to know: families, groups and road-trippers who value facilities and parking over a downtown address. Check-in is from 3 pm until midnight, with late check-in available during limited hours, and check-out is at 11 am. Up to two pets are allowed per stay for a fee of 25 Canadian dollars per accommodation, and service animals are exempt.
Free cancellation is offered on select rates. The restaurant, the free continental breakfast and the laundry and dry-cleaning services are practical extras for longer stays. Meeting rooms and a banquet hall mean that you may share the building with a wedding or a conference, so ask about events on your dates if you want quiet.
Choosing between the Rodd hotels
Rodd Charlottetown, in the downtown core, has the historic railway-hotel character and a rooftop patio, and Rodd Royalty has the bigger family facilities and the easier parking. If you want a heritage stay close to the sights, choose Rodd Charlottetown or The Great George; if you want a pool, a waterslide and space for the family, choose this one. In July and August, book early, since the family rooms go first, and in winter use the indoor facilities as a break from the cold.
