We needed to book a last minute place in Avalon for a weekend in August. This was one of the few affordable places near “downtown” so we booked it. It is nothing fancy but not many places in Avalon are. Room was very small and a little dingy (but clean). No microwave or coffee maker but coffee, oatmeal, granola bars and fruit in the lobby in the morning. Mini-fridge was nice. The location is fantastic- walkable to everything. And the staff was amazing very friendly and helpful. Would recommend but just know you’re not getting the Four Seasons.

I loved the price, cleanliness, comfort, and size of the room. It’s quiet and convenient to the grocery store and main shopping area. Warning, there is a hill climb to get there, and no elevator on the property. There are 4 levels so don’t bring too big of a bag.

No Compassion For An Emergency

Unfortunately, my review must be poor as the management was unwilling to work with me during a family crisis that prevented me from going on my trip. When I tried calling to resolve the matter myself, no one answered the phone. And when Expedia intervened for me, they were not willing to refund me, give me credit, or work with me in any other way. It is such a shame that a company could have such a lack of human compassion during a family's most desperate moment. I will not be booking with this hotel again and will be informing friends and family that this is how I was treated.

Expecting more for my money

You pay for the view. The hotel has ZERO amenities. The Wi-Fi is horrible. If you want or need anything you have to go to the front desk. No extra towels. Unless you go get them. The hotel has no elevator so you are climbing a ton is stairs if you get a room in a higher floor. And to top it off the furniture needs repair and the mattress needs to be replaced.

Great place to stay for the value. Rooms were very clean and spacious and was a great deal. Centrally located and easy access to just about anything you could want to do. Service was also very good, we dropped our bags off at the check in when we arrived and our room was available 2 hours early for no additional charge. Was also nice to be a block off the main strip so it was quiet and peaceful at night without trying to sleep through music blasting at midnight. Would highly recommend
