The front desk staff was very courteous. The room was essentially clean, but quite tired. Touch up paint needed, the floor (vinyl) needed repair, the bathroom was minimal, and there was only a quarter roll of toilet paper. On the plus side they gave us a free drink at the Tiki Hut, which was nice.

We loved the retro styling — it gave the hotel a fun, unique character. The budget-friendly price made it an even better value, especially considering the great location close to town. Everything was convenient, comfortable, and easy, making this a really enjoyable place to stay. We’d definitely come back and recommend it to anyone looking for a stylish stay without breaking the bank.

Another great stay at Avalon Hotel. The staff is so friendly and helpful, the hotel is clean, aesthetically-pleasing, and conveniently located to downtown. I look forward to my next stay. My only recommendation would be to consider new bedside lamps with built-in USB-C compatible charging stations as the hotel is older and there are few electrical outlets in the rooms.
