Hotel is a perfect location easy to walk everywhere and with lots of options around it. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Older property so it needs upkeep.

Great little spot

Service from the front desk was awesome. The beds were comfortable and clean. The refrigerator was awesome TV and cable worked well and shower was nice and hot. The floor in the bathroom against the wall was dirty and I walked barefoot inside and my feet were dirty by the end of the night. Other than that, it was fantastic and I’d stay there again.

6/10 Good

Staff was nice, but room not ready when I arrived and they did not call me when ready as they stayed they would. Room smelled like clorox and cleanser when we got access ans ome floors were still wet.The roomnos like a studio apartment. Single bur we stove top, good size fridge, small bar counter on po y wall between bed and kitchen area with two stools. No good seating, but no room. I liked that it was like a little bungalow with operable windows.could have used anither pillow, but bed was comfotable enough. And great facial wipes in Restroom. Had tonrequesr cleanntowels daily. Liked that there was coffee in lobby, though they ran out of creamer and did not replenishnfor our last 2 daya ther.. The bar in lobby is not open. Ice machine in lobby broke while we were there. No ice grays in fridge. Also, random silver ware in room, nit a set so we got plasticware at Vons.

The place was very DIRTY, from public place to the rooms. The room did not have any daily cleaning or at all on our 3 night stay. It was very run down. Very disappointed The staff was friendly and bed was comfortable.

Angie, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Location is great. Friendly staff and easy check in. This place is OLD, so rooms are small and a little run down. Bathroom was also small. We stayed in a double queen room that was a little snug for us 2 and our 6 yo.
Nicole, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

The location is central to the main area of Avalon. The hotel, like most in the downtown area, appears to be a converted old home and so is a little basic. No in room coffee but there is a coffee shop nearby. Good basic room in a great location
Andrew, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

It was easy to access for shopping but the shower head was not good and also the ac unit was not clean leaving black dust on the sheet
Charanjeet, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Location was perfect, the beds are comfy but the room itself is small. Near the center of town, easily walkable from the Catalina Express. Prices aren’t bad. Standard toiletries made available as well as fridge, microwave, hairdryer, and iron as well as a luggage room and 24/7 helpline (but clerk not on duty outside of regular working hours).
Zydre, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Cute spot walking distance from pretty much everything in Avalon. Just wish the cottages were a little nicer and quieter but everything else was fine!
Alyssa, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

A perfectly located hotel that shows its age but has been well cared for. Great to have luggage storage for arrivals before check in and departures after check out times. Cabins have kitchens with a cooktop, good-sized refrigerator, and microwave. No coffee maker but its available in the lobby most of the time. They also smallish bathrooms and stairs, more than 20 to climb if you get one of the cabins at the top. Staff did great but were overwhelmed, at times, attempting to respond to all the requests received. The street can be very crowded with noisy and smelly carts since it leads to the intersection at the end of the pedestrians only portion of Crescent Avenue, but our rooms was quiet. Shops and dining options are very close and easily walkable. We brought our own bikes and there was limited room at the hotel to park them which was constantly full. Other options were close by.

Avalon hotel with island style

Great spot! clean and quite…the staff were great!!!
Rick, 10-night trip

2/10 Poor

Overall you would have thought this hotel was a youth hostel… it was filthy, worn out and had zero service. You would at least expect the bathroom to have a sink and be clean- nope sink as right next to the foot of the bed- shower filled with mold, miss cut tile and peeling paint. We booked a room with two queen beds, we were given a room with 1 Queen and a pull out sofa bed. Not only will we never stay there again, but this is the second time now where I have booked something on Expedia to end up having horrible service- as in none and/or completely misrepresented properties - the photos are laughable compared to what the actual property.
Beaten pull out bed..
Poor maintenance
Classy fan pulls…
Sofa Cushion on pull out bed when you open it to fold out..foam is disintegrating - which is hazardous..
