Room was clean, staff courteous and early check was available as 2 different check out times with a fee, was also available. Which it helps with my plans. But my only constructive critique would be the sofa bed need to be steam and the mattress should have a plastic cover to avoid dirt or other stains to get in. I have to flip the mattress to the cleaner side and wipe it.They did bring extra covers, sheets , pillows and blanket. But it had a very good AC and was located by the ice machine and washing machine and dryer. $ 2.00 per wash. Also the dryer. Not bad at all. Really enjoy the microwave and fridge good quality and spacious for the small size and the sink for prepping food was convenient. And the place is secure and clean surroundings. The bathroom was compact but nicely done. We didn’t used the very beautiful pool and bar. Because the purpose of staying was that we traveled from SC to Sarasota for my son’s sport event.

The front desk staff was very courteous. The room was essentially clean, but quite tired. Touch up paint needed, the floor (vinyl) needed repair, the bathroom was minimal, and there was only a quarter roll of toilet paper. On the plus side they gave us a free drink at the Tiki Hut, which was nice.

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.
