“This hotel truly capitalizes on its prime waterfront location, placing everything Avalon has to offer within easy walking distance. The comfort of the rooms, particularly the beds, is consistently praised, and the staff's accommodating nature shines through, especially with thoughtful touches like post-checkout shower access for beach days. While it's a place many express a desire to return to, it's worth noting the potential for noise due to thin walls.”
