Great Stay
3 day stay for a birthday getaway. Location was close to train station, as well as the pier and harbor. Short walks to both. Continental breakfast was great and staff was very nice!

Not too bad.
Breakfast is not what it use to be here. Quality in breakfast has gone down a bit. The cookies during the day are a nice touch and the entire staff is pleasant. The beds are a little hard and uncomfortable and the price does not necessarily reflect the expectations that are not completely met.

Great room and conveniently located just a block from the beach. Good breakfast, cute decor. My only complaint was they didn't let 2 cars park and street parking is all permit, so that was a huge issue. It didn't say that when booking the room.

Decent but underwhelmed
First impression was not good. Room was not ready at 3 PM checkin time. Front desk offered and completed pre-check with the expectation that the room would be ready in 15-20 minutes. They told me I could sit in the lobby and wait or they could give me a call me when room was available. I told them I’d just drive down the street to check out the waterfront. Not sure if that contributed to miscommunication but they never called. I returned an hour later and the room was ready. The room overwhelmingly smelled like cleaning products and was stuffy, but it was clean. I had to seek help with the TV later in the evening and the issue was promptly resolved. Accommodations were decent but in my opinion not commensurate with cost.

Great experience
Avania was cute, clean and smelled good. The service was great, everyone was kind and helpful. I expected the continental breakfast to be bagels and fruit. It was that but so much more. I loved this place. Stayed here for me wedding and so did my family. They loved it too! We would definitely stay here again and recommend!

Lovely and quiet
Close to the beach and quiet. Really nice rooms, long breakfast times. And Otis Spunkmeier cookies as an afternoon treat!
