Very fun, quirky hotel. We did have a ghost in our room though, which kept turning on our light in the middle of the night but once we acknowledged it, it stopped and let us sleep. Same thing happened to two other people from our group, they said the same thing happened to them - seems to be a friendly ghost.

The hotel was clean, bright, comfortable, and conveniently located within 2-8 minutes walk to the beach, shopping, and food. The property seems quite old and has some quirks, but it is clean, quiet, and well maintained, with gorgeous smelling star jasmine bushes and succulents just outside the front porch, windows with stained glass over the stairs, and an open air porch on each upper floor with wicker chairs and a view of Avalon harbor. Each room was sunny, fresh and clean, and included blackout curtains, a dresser, a TV with a Roku remote, and a mini fridge. I like old buildings, so I found it charming, but like I said, it had some quirks. These included: odd vent shafts in the walls, sinks/vanities sometimes outside of the bathrooms, no AC, no elevator, and windows that didn't seem to be able to lock shut. I was originally situated in a ground level room. It and the bedsheets seemed very clean, but I found pretzel crumbs in the bed between the sheets. I had been in transit for 15 hours and was exhausted, so I napped on top of the blankets and asked for a clean set of sheets an hour or so later when I was semi coherent, just to play it safe. The front desk staff seemed pretty annoyed and didn't smile or greet me after that day, but ultimately they transferred me to an unoccupied room on the third floor. That room had a beautiful view of the homes climbing up the hills and the harbor and was blessedly crumb free. Staff grumpiness notwithstanding, I enjoyed my stay there.

The view from my third floor room of Avalon. It was even prettier at night.
