The hotel is old and the room smells very bad. When we arrived it was no one at the front desk only the room keys with a note.the furniture very old and stinks. At night we smorgasbord we check the stove but still can smell the gas. It wasn’t very strong but we can still smell it we tried to reach the front desk but again no one in there. We spent the night with the windows open and we left early in the morning.

This hotel was booked last minute so we were grateful for the availability. The room was extremely clean. For the price, we have no complaints. It was nice having a kitchen although we ended up not cooking but having the refrigerator was a plus. The staff are very kind, and helpful and responsive. We would stay there again, however, it is worth noting that this hotel is at the top of a very steep hill which can be challenging if walking, but thankfully, the Circuit (Uber equivalent) that is available in Avalon came in very handy!
