Great location, free, on-site parking, friendly staff, very clean, we had a very nice dinner at the taproom next-door, which is part of the same hotel. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay. The room is very small, especially the bathroom, but we were only there for one night. I probably would not recommend it for long stays.
We usually stay at the Hollander next door (same owner) and this time decided to try the Avalon. Loved the funky lobby decore and daily hour. Found it more laid back and quieter than the Hollander given there is ko bar or restaurant. My only minor complaint is that the room could use more lighting. Itâs a bit dark specially when you are trying to apply make up. Location is great. You can park your car and walk everywhere in downtown St Pete.
The biggest complaint...the room had no accessible power outlets in the main sleeping/living area. Unable to charge cell phones. The closet had no light. The A/C unit is wall mounted and noisy.
