    I didn’t like how the pictures were misleading. I thought I was a getting a bathtub.

    I like how accommodating the staff were. They were able to give us early check in and allowed to leave our luggage’s there. They also offered to take our luggage’s to the port.

    The walls were thin. It made it somewhat uncomfortable at times to speak at a normal level. We could hear the footsteps of the tenants above us, and hear the TV from the rooms on either side of us. I think a hook to close the curtain all the way could also help people feel a little comfortable too, as sometimes I could see inside rooms and vice versa.

    One of the most comfortable mattresses I've used in a hotel! The staff were amazing and very personable, they were so helpful and did everything to make us feel comfortable. The hotel itself was beautiful!

    The room size was quite small, with little storage. If you are staying for more than a couple of days, storage space is an issue. The staff was friendly, but, we were told they would text us when our room was ready, but never got a text, and room was ready when we checked 2nd time.

    Location is fantastic, as the hotel faces the Avalon harbor. GREAT VIEW!! The overall property is clean, but a little old. The Naughty Fox takes up the front part of the property, and is an awesome place to have lunch, especially outside on the patio as the views can't be beat. The room was clean, and despite the limited size, the bathroom was really nice.

    Nothing against the property, but we did not realize we were booking during the annual October “JazzTrax”. Cost us about 40% more than it usually would have, but only our fault.

    Excellent location to view the bay and people watch. Easy walking distances to most all eateries. Loved the 4th floor patio area!

    The location of the room was on the first floor. I would have liked a lager room near my budget point. I was a little concerned with the sliding glass doors and curtains. Although, the curtains were nice. I would have liked a REAL door with REAL locks. The bed was okay for the temperature. And this is important....The room was DARK. The lighting during the evening in the area of the bed was not sufficient for me. EXPENSIVE DRINKS AND FOOD. 2 drinks and 2 Fish Tacos......Exorbitant!!!!!

    I liked the light provided in the area where the refrigerator is located. It was great. We loved the SUNDECK, being near SHOPS & RESTAURANTS, FREE WIRELESS SERVICE and FREE BIKE RENTALS. The staff's service was impeccable. We would stay again. We loved the boats horns at 5pm.....charming

    We had an incident with a backed up shower drain that came with a small invasion of ants. This left us having to change rooms late in the evening two days into our five night stay. It was definitely a little disconcerting considering the "per night" cost of the room, but the man at the front desk was able to mitigate the situation. Interesting the rooms were only accessible by a sliding glass door facing inward to the other rooms on the floor.

    The beds were pretty comfortable. The location was great. I was very nice to have a small refrigerator in the room. Free bike usage was a plus. We did take advantage of the on-site restaurant and the roof top seating area with great views.

    Upon checking the front desk gave us a pair of keys and we went to the room to discover that someone else was sleeping the room… The baby supplies were there purse and wallet. At that time we went right back and stated that someone is already in that room and they just looked baffled. So one employee went to check and he came back and said “yea it’s someone in there” like we were lying or something. So we received another room that looked somewhat smaller than the $400 a night room we purchased.

    It was right there on the shore next to all of the restaurants so that was a plus

    There were ants in our room, dead and alive.

    The location was perfect. They had beach chairs you can borrow. The roof top was perfect to go have a drink and enjoy watching the boat harbor.

    Very nice room. The only problem is the room was on the street and anybody walking by could see in through the sheers. if we closed the blinds before dark we felt like we were in a cave. Other than that nice room. Wished there was a chair other than the desk chair. I like to be able to sit someplace in the room at night that isn't the bed.

    Comfortable bed, nice shower.

    The bed pillows were a bit too flat for my taste. The shower door in my room (305) leaked quite a bit so there was always a puddle on the floor after each shower. The provided shampoo wasn't very nice, but that's pretty typical in hotels.

    The place was nice and clean, and the staff was friendly. The Naughty Fox was a delicious restaurant and it was nice to grab a bite to eat. The service to send our luggage to the ferry docks was extremely helpful since check-out was well before our ferry ride home.

    The rooftop could’ve been better with a fire pit or hot tub or bar. Seemed like a wasted space because there was no reason to go up there. Also, the indoor/outdoor carpet on the outdoor stairs and walkways had a strange odor. Maybe replace with brick pavers?

    Location was perfect, right on the main street and easily accessible. The room was smaller than I expected but newly renovated and nice.

    The rooms were very plain and small, to say the least. There was not enough room for two people to do their makeup and hair. There was no seating. The only seating in my room was one bar stool and the bed. Please keep in mind when booking this place it will only be for sleeping, showering, and changing your clothes.

    The location was great however, I could not see anything from the room but the courtyard, and that was basic. The aesthetics were nice and the decor in the lobby/bar area was stylish, however, the rooms were not quite what I expected for the price I paid. However, I had to remember I paid for an oceanfront hotel and that is what I got.
