Guest Reviews

We had a beautiful ocean view and a private balcony to enjoy the fresh ocean breeze. The room was impeccably clean. We had a restful and relaxing stay at this hotel. The friendly staff was very helpful and accommodating when we had to unexpectedly extend our stay due to high winds causing the cancellation of our ferry service. I highly recommend this beautiful hotel.

We stayed in room 301 with an ocean view. It was a magnificent view with a private walk around balcony. You could see the ocean and the bay through the porch doors - where the bed is facing. The room was spotless and the beds very comfortable. Nice furnishings and the bathroom gorgeous and very clean. I loved the old feel of the entire building. No elevator so plan...See More

We had such a wonderful stay at the Avalon Hotel. Evelyn and the whole staff were so friendly and helpful. Great location, comfy rooms. The package including ferry and taxi was so adorable. Nice breakfast and we appreciated all day fresh fruit and coffee. Will definitely return!
