The hotel was nice and cute, in a great location, but it had several downsides that made our stay less enjoyable. The front sliding doors face a busy courtyard/walkway, offering little to no privacy. The walls are paper-thin, you can hear neighbors closing doors, flushing toilets, and even snoring at night. It was difficult to feel relaxed with all the noise. The check-in area is also very tight and small. While the front desk staff was very nice, it almost felt like we were being watched. To top it off, our power was shut off on our last day for a couple of hours without any prior notice, which was frustrating. Honestly, for over $300 a night, it just wasn’t worth it. We’ll probably have to try a different place next time.

The staff was so polite and helpful. I made a last second change to my reservation and they were able to help me. My wife left her Apple Watch in her room after we checked out and they called us and were able to help us get it back. I loved the room and the location. We will be coming back to stay again!!!

The Bellanca Hotel is situated on the main promenade across from the beach. It is a great location to access Avalon. Easy walk to everything! We were there during off-season from Monday-Friday. The hotel is clean and nicely remodeled. We had a Courtyard King. You can borrow bikes, beach chairs and towels for free. The roof deck is a great space. There were few guests for the first two nights -- and everything was quiet. By mid-week, more guests were at the hotel, above and next door to us. The walls are very thin and you hear every footstep and the TV next door. We didn't mind because we were out most of the day. The price point, location, and overall ambience of this hotel is very good. We will return!

The restaurant was closed, which wasnt really a problem. But it should have been disclosed. Lovely hotel. Rooftop view patio was spectacular. Hands down the most luxurious bath towels ever!
