We absolutely loved our stay at the Avalon hotel! The location is truly perfect. We could walk to all of the restaurants, bars, beaches, etc. It was quiet and yet so accessible to all the action.

The Avalon was a great choice for our three-day weekend. It's a perfect location; off the main drag about a block but close enough to everything - about a minute walk. The room was very clean and the staff friendly and helpful. The breakfast bar was well stocked with everything you need to get your day started. We'll definitely stay again. Cheers.

The cutest hotel! It was so quaint. We had a garden view but gladly could still see the ocean.we were greeted with a bottle of champagne to celebrate our 13 year anniversary.. The room was so cute & the bed was extremely comfortable. The bathroom had a very large tub we enjoyed with the comfy rob to match. We can’t wait to return.
