English Inn & Resort, Esquimalt

We booked our room off of the internet, based on the pictures and descriptions of the English Inn and Resort. We thought it would be a quaint place to stay, and we were not disappointed! Our room was large, overlooking a beautiful garden with a fountain. Nice large windows let in the sunlight. We greatly enjoyed the old world feel of our room and the inn. The customer service is not to be beat!! We are telling family and friends to pay English Inn and Resort a visit the next time they go to Victoria, and we are planning on a return visit as well.

After reading all the varying reviews my wife and I were apprehensive about what we would find upon arrival. Fortunately, we were generally very pleased. First, they accomodated our early arrival. There was a minor mix up on the type of room which was quickly corrected. Staff was polite and helpful throughout our entire stay. We encountered no construction while we were there and the grounds were beautifully landscaped. The atmosphere, since it is in a residential area, was quiet. There was a wedding there during our stay but other than disrupting parking a bit it did not disturb our stay. The suite was good sized, adequately furnished, but the bathroom was on the small side. The suite was clean with the usual amenities. The restaurant and bar staff were all very helpful and knowledgeable. The restaurant is very good, very creative, and reasonably priced for the quality level. All in all, if you are looking for a relaxing and quiet place (barring a special event) and do not need to be right downtown (which is a little too far for me to walk) this is a charming and reasonably priced alternative.
