Small and efficient room just what we needed prior to starting our biking trip of the island. The office staff were extremely helpful and we appreciated the assistance in being able to bring our bikes into courtyard. Thank you for a comfortable stay !

The front desk staff was wonderful. It’s a cozy hotel. It was a really nice setting. Everything was clean and your room gets cleaned every day, which is unusual for hotels nowadays.

We had an ocean view king at this location. It is the perfect location for a visit to Avalon. It's centered midtown with lots of shops, dining, and places to walk around the town. This was our second stay at this location. We will definitely consider this location for any future plans to Avalon.

The service at this hotel is what makes it 5 stars. All the staff are pleasant and were amazingly helpful when our originally scheduled ferry was canceled. Our room didn’t have a view, had an awkward amount of furniture (highly recommend removing the extra chair so there’s a place for luggage - we stored it above the fridge to make space), and was a little dated. But it served its purpose and the AC worked great so no complaints :-). SUPER convenient to get to anywhere in Avalon by walking.

The room was filthy, could hear everything through the walls. There was no way to actually get to the hotel on a golf cart, we had to carry all of our bags not only to the middle of the town, but up two flights of steep stairs because there was not an elevator, that should have been made very clear before we made the reservation, not after
