extremely expensive for size of rooms and view and no breakfast included. No pool. Roof top plunge pool only open until 3 pm. Nice to have golf cart transport to beach and beach chairs and umbrella included. . However we were visiting family who had a condo one mile away. Had to walk each way as no parking for our car on streets and no other form of transport. The tv was not working right and I wanted to watch wimbledon. I eventually figured it out but reception was poor. If you want to be in the heart of it all on Stone Harbor, then it is the place to be. I should have stayed further from downtown to be closer to my family. Would be less expensive, bigger room and closer to beach with pool.

be careful when you book your room

When I checked in, I was given a room that was not originally assigned to me. Although it was an upgrade, I questioned the change and hotel staff told me that no this was fine and was the room I was supposed to get. After two nights of my three nights stay I get a phone call from the front office, telling me I need to check out of this room as it has been promised to someone else. Do not misunderstand, I was staying in a room that was very nice, but did not reflect the rate I paid as I paid a lower rate but… I questioned this two times and was told it was OK… Until it wasn’t . The hotel tried to compensate us with another room but by this time I had had enough. Moving to another room for one night was out of the question. I have never felt more uncomfortable ever. I have been coming to the Avalon/Stone Harbor area for over 35 years and have never been this disappointed
