We arrived just in time for wine Friday to start off the great experience. Hotel had excellent service! Staff was very attentive and so nice. Rooms were awesome and relaxing and near all the activities and places to eat. Great location. We look forward to our next stay there in the near future

The hotel is ideally located for visiting Avalon. The staff was friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable about the town and things to do. The room was cute and comfortable. If you can do it Room 301 has a great deck for sunrise and viewing the town and bay. There is a roof top deck with a 360 degree view and ideal for end of the day drinks or morning breakfast....See More
