Brief visit
We enjoyed our stay on Saturday 11/14/24. The room was cozy and bed comfortable. It was fancy but provided a good spot for resting while touring around Avalon.

Really enjoyed our time at the hotel. Location was amazing, the room was modern, clean, and well designed. The staff was friendly and accommodating. The restaurant was a great brunch and drink surprise while the rooftop lounges were perfect for late evening wine and ocean breezes.
