Hotel is located in the front if English bay, you can see ocean, so that's great. Receptionist keeps all information in papers! I liked it, its so old school. But building is so old and renovation was here long time ago. First floor of building its place for lots of fast food restaurants, but their cleanliness could be better. Inside hitel is always working airfreshers, so i cannot saying its bad smell inside, but heavy, so for people with asthma it's difficult to breathe. Towels and bedsheets were with torns. What i liked that bathroom and kitchen were clean, bathroom equipment was prepared good. This place need to be renovated and replaced carpets, old chairs, towels, bedsheets, also deleted from first floor poor fast food.

Frightening experience
A fight in the next room with a woman screaming and bodies being knocked around against the wall caused me to check out early the next morning and not stay my second night. I told the management I was frightened and I needed to leave. I wanted to refund and was told that was impossible.

We weren’t expecting it to be incredible but it was pretty dirty/old. Bright green algae was growing inside the top of the faucet. Keep your socks on in the room and good luck balancing shower water between unbearably hot and freezing cold. We were offered the spare key for our room, then told the last guests had actually failed to turn it in, which seems like it should be a huge problem to me? It was just a regular turnkey, so they probably should be getting locks changed if previous guests are taking them with them. We kept the chain on whenever we were in the room. I will say though - the location is great and the price is low. We weren’t here for an incredible hotel, we wanted to explore the city and area. Definitely hedge your bets with this one, it will be as bad as you think if not worse - but if you need a deal, this is probably it. I wouldn’t stay here more than three nights, maximum. And if you stay in #222, make sure they’ve changed the locks!

Pros: - Refurbished apartment, so large room for a good price - Larger rooms have kitchen with appliances (not sure about smaller rooms) - Great location for young/active people. Very close to the beach and lots of hole-in-the wall dining and bars - Free coffee and tea in the lobby - Included Wifi was great - Has coin-op laundry (did not use, but noticed was there) Mid: - Has a small, underground parking lot for $20 a day (but really hard and annoying to get in and out of. Bring a small car!) - Desk service, while mostly passive, provided amenities and assistance when asked. Room service was only upon request Cons: - No complimentary breakfast - The place feels old and dated. Most furniture are actually clean, but look really dirty due to age unknown stains - We booked 2 large rooms, and because of the piecemeal renovations, had some weird issues. 1 room had a really slippery bathtub and no place to hang toilet paper next to the toilet. Another bathroom had a horrible arrangement. The toilet was butt up against the door and toilet paper making for an unsittable experience (plus the door had a carved-out hole to be able to swing past the toilet to close) - Elevator broke down on us twice during our 3 night stay - These last point are personal preferences. The location not for large groups, people with low mobility, people with their own/rental cars (especially larger vehicles), or in general, people who dislike or are unused to the noisy hustle and bustle of downtown life

Pro: location, quiet when windows closed Cons: old as in stove from 1970s! I don’t mind older decor, but carpets need to be replaced every decade or so. Elevator was out a couple times. First room smelled horribly of urine and bleach, switched me to one that only smelled musty. I kept window open 24/7. I would not stay here again.

The staff was very good and helpful. But the old carpet and chairs and beds were really awful These are apartment style rooms. Someone was maybe cooking fish and the smell in the whole floor was really bad Nothing was updated from the windows to the bathrooms with touchy plumbing
