The view was amazing! Just a hop, skip and a jump from all the shops. The owner was very friendly and super sown to earth. My family and I were very impressed with the room. Unlike the other places we've stayed at, Avalon Inn didn’t have people at all hours of the night making noise, running up and down the hall, etc. I would highly recommend this place. Definitely worth the price. We're definitely coming back!

Because I stayed more than one night.. the first room I was in was ground floor with a young child.. horrible…if you have anyone above you.. Informed the manager and they quickly handled the situation and moved me to an upstairs room. So great customer service and very clean room and property.
