Nicely updated kitchen space inside the queen suites. Comfortable beds. Clean facilities. Helpful staff. Nice living room space in queen suite. Very good living space. Parking was convenient, if a bit crowded on a holiday weekend.

I had to walk to another hotel, a block away to get an espresso. Not the end of the world. Prices, like all of Avalon are high. Not as high as some.

Room was laid out well. The pool. Staff was accommodating service was good.

The machine in the locked closet, our accommodations came on throughout the day and night and was very loud. Loud enough to wake us up at night. There should be a grab bar to get in the bathtub. Should have higher toilets.

Room was clean and comfortable. The bed was nice. Had some basics in the kitchenette. It was fine for what we needed

It would have been nice to have a coffee station for guests and maybe some continental type breakfast for the price of the room.

Been coming here for over 12 years, always clean. We enjoy the area. Always a nice time.

New resort fee added to stay. No access to changing rooms as they keep them locked now, and won’t give you code till you are fully checked in.

I knew nothing about a breakfast so I can’t give any feedback on that. Everyone was friendly and my grandsons enjoyed the pool. The unit that we stayed in worked well for us.
