We loved the retro styling — it gave the hotel a fun, unique character. The budget-friendly price made it an even better value, especially considering the great location close to town. Everything was convenient, comfortable, and easy, making this a really enjoyable place to stay. We’d definitely come back and recommend it to anyone looking for a stylish stay without breaking the bank.

Another great stay at Avalon Hotel. The staff is so friendly and helpful, the hotel is clean, aesthetically-pleasing, and conveniently located to downtown. I look forward to my next stay. My only recommendation would be to consider new bedside lamps with built-in USB-C compatible charging stations as the hotel is older and there are few electrical outlets in the rooms.
