Liked: Staff & service
Disliked: Cleanliness
Nice staff. Large space to move around in.
The cleanliness of air system vents bathroom fan was full of dust. Corner of walls had dust webs..
The sofa was in very poor condition.
The English Bay Hotel sounds quaint and charming in a nice location, but it’s only redeeming quality is the location. When you pull up and look at the hotel you are greeted by the run down look of the hotel and in the windows of a couple of the rooms you can see from the street bankers boxes what appeared to be tossed against the glass. But once you step inside you are blasted by the smell. It’s an air freshener nightmare. Checking in - you get a real key with a keychain, not a card key. The ride up to your room in the elevator has large menu’s of the surrounding area Asian restaurant plastered all over the walls. The rooms are extremely dated and need a makeover. The only lock on the door is a a sliding chain. . I think teal walls in high gloss finish are not very relaxing or tasteful. The box springs had stains and was dented and the mattress looks like it was thrown out by someone else marked ‘free’ on the street it was so bad. I definitely will not be back and this hotel should not get a 3 star rating

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort
Old but price for location. Great
It is a dark dingy old hotel, with the smells that come with that. But it is in a great location, location, location. The staff is friendly. It is a 2 star hotel. But i would gladly stay here again. Beach, restaurants, pubs.
Great location! Loved being on the west end.
Room was probably great in the 1970’s.
Hotels are very expensive in the area. This was the most reasonable. Saggy bed. Awkward shower. Old carpet. Nice view.
At this moment - I don’t think I’d stay there again. However- if I saved $100 per night — I just might….
