Dad (Maynard) ran this establishment until January of 2006....he hosted many a traveller back-packing, sailing, cycling, or driving through our fine province. This little home away from home is open year round. We are in the heart of Historic Old Charlottetown, but a five minute walk to Canada's Birthplace, Confederation Center of the arts, theatres, art galleries, tourist information centre, churches, great cafes and restaurants, shopping and public transit. Some of the reasons people stay here are: "It's affordable", "Clean", "friendly and helpful", "so central to everything", "OPEN YEAR-ROUND!", "great storage for bikes", "has free wireless accessibility", "spacious private rooms", "Great Healthy Breakfasts", "having a guest kitchen was a nice perk", "Comfortable Beds!", "a definite Charlottetown hidden Gem!".

Maynard MacMillan
Worked with the CNR/VIA railway for over 40 years as a carman and carpenter. Upon retiring, he turned his residence at 234 Sydney St. into one of the first tourist homes in Charlottetown, calling it the "Aloha," and later purchased a second home on the corner (60 Hillsboro) and named it the "Amigo."

For over 23 years our father very much enjoyed hosting travellers from around the world. In March of 2006 he was diagnosed with brain cancer and left this earth on May 21, 2006. Today the tradition continues at 234 Sydney St., his daughter Kelti runs the Aloha Tourist Home. The house on the corner was sold.

We and many of his friends and acquaintances miss him. Amy Cox, a writer from Texas, wrote the poem below. It is about our Dad and speaks volumes of him as one of the many wonderful local Island ambassadours you may find on your journeys of PEI.
