Avalon Hotel Downtown St. Petersburg

I loved the decorating of the hotel - it was a cool place to stay and an easy walk to downtown. I had a great view from my room. The staff were welcoming and very helpful. I will definitely book again.

Liked: Checking into the hotel was very friendly and warming. I was given all sorts of helpful information. The staff were excellent.
Disliked: The bathroom door in room was very hard to close.

Good

Disliked: The pool was closed for cleaning all afternoon.

Wonderful stay, will return!

Liked: We absolutely loved this boutique hotel! It is stunning and right in the heart of Johntown with him walking distance to restaurants, bars, spas, coffee shop and shopping! The staff was excellent - the pool is gorgeous and the food @ the Hollander (next door) was fantastic!

Very happy, comfortable and will...

Liked: Staff were very friendly, as was my room.
Disliked: I would have liked a fridge to keep water cold.

Meh at best

Liked: A/C worked well, location and staff are great! Being next to the Hollander where the pool, resteraunt and food / drinks are all outstanding. They offered a shuttle to / from our event.
Disliked: Bathroom is awful. So small you can hardly move around in it, toilet to wall has no room for knees, no place to set things, no hooks for towels. Fridge moves around whenever you open it, bed is hard as nails. No extra towels, blankets etc.. had a suite, very sparse. Elevator was out, but they gave us breakfast tickets for compensation.

Very good

Good

Liked: Friendly and helpful staff, less expensive than options near by. Outdoor seating is pleasant despite location next to a busy street. Restaurant next door. Close to downtown.
Disliked: Room with king bed was small and dark, only a single chair for sitting and it was not comfortable. TV had limited selection. AC unit worked, but was noisy. Bathroom was very small. The building is located on a busy street and is somewhat run down. Parking is free, but you need to hunt for it, often ended up in a sandy lot well away from the entrance.

Good

Quaint little boutique hotel within...

Liked: Quaint little boutique hotel within walking distance of great restaurants, bars & St. Pete Pier. The pool party on Sunday was the highlight of our stay. The staff was fantastic! Susan helped us secure a cabana for the pool party and the wait/bar staff were very attentive to our group. Such a fun place!
Disliked: The bed was just slightly too soft and so we kept sliding into the middle - but really that's all.

We had a great day...

Liked: The location was amazing. The staff was so nice. At first they put us in a room right off, lo which was pretty much a closet. It was so small in the bathroom you had to close the door to go to the bathroom. They did upgrade us to a suite which was more room, but the bathroom was just so incredibly small, but not as small as the first room. The restaurant and pool were very nice as well
Disliked: The size of the first room as well as the bathrooms were Small.
