Very nice stay right on the main street in town

The Earl is a very nice boqique feeling hotel in a great location in Charlevoix. The amenities are great. I used the outdoor hot tub which was really nice, I did wish there was more lighting outdoors around the hot tub though. I was out there alone and it felt pretty creepy. I moved to the indoor pool which was really cool with the fountain! The website says it has a light continental breakfast but it was actually a lot more food than I thought there would be, bagels, waffles, oatmeal, etc. The rooftop bar was closed due to weather but I went up and looked around and it looked really nice. My only issue was I was in room 101 right off the lobby and I could hear people yelling in the lobby watching a football game and drinking, and at 5am someone when by with a cart in the hallway and woke me up, but those are very minor compared to how nice the property and employees were.

Didn't like the " tight"/ small parking lot but made it work. Wish places would offer HEALTHIER , ORGANIC food & not just sugar & starch ! All I ate was 1 egg & wasn't sure IF it was from " cage free chickens"!??? The EARL was clean & great BUT no microwave in the room ! Ugh ! Thanks! I'd stay again.

From the moment we stepped in the beautifully furnished room enjoying a cocktail on the rooftop overlooking the marina or the scrumptious free continental breakfast the Earl was high end and has a perfect location close to shops and restaurants all within walking distance Would highly recommend and stay here again

Never saw a hotel where they provide free in room ear plugs as part of the standard arrival items. Given the paper thin walls and floor, constant door slamming, etc. they were unfortunately appropriate. Surprising for a so called "upscale" hotel.
