The Bellanca Hotel has a great location right in the heart of downtown Avalon. The property was super clean. The staff was friendly. The only downside was the restaurant closed very early so we never made it in

This was a pretty basic hotel. We could tell it was an older building that was redone to feel more current and modern but over all, it fell short for us. The room was clean and the staff were very nice. The benefit was having a bar and food on the premises.
