Great location. Old hotel. Outdated. No elevators. 2 set of stairs to reach top. Small room, very clean. King bed very comfortable. Heating and air wall unit worked great. Plus a functioning ceiling fan. Nice TV. Small refrigerator, worked great. Room a bit noisy, but it faced the boardwalk. Great staff. We would stay here again.
Comfortable King Bed.
In room refrigerator.

Small and efficient room just what we needed prior to starting our biking trip of the island. The office staff were extremely helpful and we appreciated the assistance in being able to bring our bikes into courtyard. Thank you for a comfortable stay !

We had an ocean view king at this location. It is the perfect location for a visit to Avalon. It's centered midtown with lots of shops, dining, and places to walk around the town. This was our second stay at this location. We will definitely consider this location for any future plans to Avalon.
