Hotel Not as Pictured – This Place is Gross
The photo on the listing vs the ACTUAL place was night and day. The outside of the building was completely filthy, run down, had people smoking in the windows and was not a place I was willing to subject my family to. Just after seeing the English Bay Hotel's exterior, I booked a far better, and slightly cheaper, hotel some place else. Do not stay here, this place is just disgusting.

This place is old and could use a good cleaning. The rooms are big with a kitchen area. The elevator had a terrible smell so we used the stairs to go up and down. It is a great location for food and park accessability. They did let us store our bags in the office until check in time.

Choose another hotel.
This is a rundown dump and needs overhauling. The only thing in its favor was its proximity to beach and facilities and food.

Eclectic but oldish and functional, perfect location, we had the kitchenette and Dbl and single bed, if you want everything perfect do not go, we would definitely go back again. Not for kids or pets. Best food in town, grocery, liquor bus stops all wslking distance.

Glad we were only here for one night and only to sleep. The location was very iffy and felt somewhat unsafe; very noisy outside, very strange setup of the hotel. Not clean and not nice at all. The people were nice, not the hotel room. Location was convenient to downtown, but would not be inclined to stay here again.

This place hasn’t been updated since the 70’s. “Lobby” is small and kinda gross looking. Honestly we were concerned about bed bugs but didn’t see any. Beds were comfortable. And it did seem to be where everything is happenen.

There is NO PRESENCE ON THE STREET. You have to go into the hotel to find out about parking, but there was no place to park on the street to go into the hotel. The elevator was tiny and the door did NOT LIKE TO STAY CLOSED so that the elevator could function. I ended up holding the door shut so the elevator would function.
