Nice place to stay if going to the park. The front desk staff is very nice and helpful. Pool water was clear and warm. Have stayed there twice and will be going back again in a couple weeks. It is a dated hotel but clean and perfect for what we need.

This was pretty good for a budget hotel. The area was very quiet and we got a good night's sleep. The air conditioning system did not do a good job of pulling humidity out of the air, so the carpet and bedding felt perpetually a little sticky though.

That old saying yo get what you pay for is very accurate. Room smelled like mold and mildew and the bedding was damp. I tried to cancel the last night and they told me to take it up with Expedia who I booked it through. They had no room key or credit card slot but they gave me a handwritten code to punch into the lock to get in and get out. I would highly not recommend this place at all.

Really great for the price. It’s no high end hotel, but if you just want a clean place to stay without breaking the bank, this is it. There are definitely some things that are a little old and slightly run down. However, it was VERY clean, comfortable, everything worked the way it was supposed to, and the staff was very friendly and welcoming. Honestly, compared to other budget hotels in the area, Avalon is a GEM. Highly recommend as a budget option.

ROOM 171 This hotel is very out dated and very sketchy from the outside. The main lobby has been remodeled & is 2 floors with NO ELEVATOR. Our room was ok but lots of repairs that could be made. No breakfast available, which we knew up front. But also there was No refrigerator in room, No phone to call front desk, No blow dryer in the bathroom. The price was cheap so I guess you get what you pay for. Staff was very friendly. All of the furniture was pushed together in to the corner of the room, the curtains are very old and falling apart so we closed them and just left them closed the 3days. No bag rack to sit your bag on so you have to keep your stuff on the bed or on the floor. Beds were comfortable for the most part. The pool was heated, but needs some work. Shower could use a little TLC as it looked dirty, but the rest of the bathroom was ok. Very small. We talked to the office staff and they had only owned the property for 2-3weeks and they was trying to get the hotel up and running. We did ask for a refrigerator and they got us one to use. We would stay here again no questions asked.

Spent 2 nights, 3 days here in the king room. There was a microwave, tv, iron board/iron, a coffee pot with cups. Outlets on lamp are finicky. The location is conveniently close to Cedar point & has plenty of parking as the area is car dependent. If you don't get the dining plan at Cedar point, the usual big chains are nearby & Berardi's is a good local spot. Considering the price point, expect a bug sighting or 2 as the rooms lack ventilation and have a lingering mildew smell. The walls are thin so you will hear everything, don't reccommend if you're a light sleeper. The bed was comfy and the water pressure was strong. Check in was easy, attentive, and helpful.

Low Price Low Expectations

My stay was not up to expectations. When you first walk in, the floor tile is exquisite, which was on their photo. The staff was friendly. I was asked if the secknd floor would be okay. It doesn't have an elevator, so no. I'm older, disabled, and had 5 bags, 2 heavy. The hallway to the room smelled like air freshener. I had to figure out how to enter the door passcode. There was no refrigerator and need one for some meds and water. No maid service, which was fine. I had some sensitive items. The floor was filthy and dust was balled up between the bed and night stand. AC worked well. Light ballast in the bathroom was old and worked 50% of the time. People would hang around ouside the lobby and smoke. Plenty of parking but the lot is in poor condition. I didnt complain as i wasn't on vacation and price mattered since i was in town for 10 days.

Spend the money someplace else

I booked this based on all the good reviews on hotels.com and I was fooled. I pulled in and the hotel was very dark I thought I was at the roaring place it looked abandoned, checked in and got into the 1st room and it was gross to say the least stained carpets stained furniture lamp shade cracked ac unit cracked.....so I went down to ask for a broom that had been already refurbished because based on reviews I had read the hotel was being refurbished so they gave me another room that was considered a two-room suite that I entered from the outside and the digital locks that they had put on all the doors now this one was crooked and there was no interior way to deadbolt the door The second room that was considered the bedroom of this two-room suite had a portable air conditioning unit in it which seemed very odd to me. I woke up in the middle of the night to use the restroom and found that the toilet was broken and would not work So I woke up in the morning packed all my things went downstairs checked out as I was supposed to be staying there two days told the owner that the toilet didn't work and the room was not very nice and he asked what room I was in and I told him room 219 and his comment was oh that's one of the nice rooms. I don't know what he considers nice but obviously we have a different definition I had to check out and leave I could not stay there two nights.
