Avalon Hotel Downtown St. Petersburg

Absolutely adorable older property. Lovely porch and a kitchy lobby filled with eclectic art and furniture. The large rooms were very clean. Old trunks repurchased into dressers. Big comfy bed with lots of pillows. The towels were good sized.there was complimentary lotion, etc. Unlike many places we have stayed, we had housekeeping daily. That was awesome. And did I say imaculate?! The staff was very nice. There were complimentary bottles of water in the lobby to grab any time. Wine served from 5-7 in the lobby. Adequate parking. The sister hotel next door had all the amenities ..pool, restaurant, etc. available to guests from the Avalon. I was reminded of old Florida hotels in Miami Beach when I was a kid. We loved our stay.

The room could have used more light. The bathroom, while nice, was tiny, no room for more than a few toiletries. The shower was mediocre. Tiny wash sink. There was no desk or table for makeup and "stuff". This made it a bit uncomfortable when getting dressed. Sadly, they had a hot water issue the first two days of our stay. They did their best to fix it asap, but it did take some doing and no hot water for periods of time. It is fixed now and I'm sure this was not a normal occurrence.

The staff was super friendly. The decor at the hotel is very nice, and you can see they pay attention to the details. The room has a good size (for Europe standard). The beed was very confortable and the room was clean. There is room service every day. They offer free bottle water and ice at the reception area. Also, there is free coffee in the morning to help you wake up, and in the evening, they offer complementary wine (you can choose between red, white, or sparkling wine). The hotel location is very good, you are in walking distance to a lot of restaurants, coffee shops and bars.

Nothing, we had a very nice stay. Thanks!

Early Check-In was possible without a problem, which we very much appreciated. The hotel is in walking distance to all the major attractions, which was really great. We also appreciated the free parking. Hotel staff was very friendly and accommodating.

The air conditioning is a bit outdated and pretty loud. Since there was no possibility to open the room windows at night, the air conditioning in most rooms were on and could be heard in our room as well.

loved the funky decor, the outside seating area, the wine and champagne nights, free! free parking, great location, free water bottles on reception, all staff very nice and friendly. we arrived early and asked if it was ok to park early and the guy said our room was ready so we could check in which was great. check out was 12 so no mad rush to get out in the morning

room a but too dark, but it all went well together. just my personal opinion. would of loved a fridge just to keep water cold

All of the staff were extremely kind and helpful! Felt like a very personalized hotel setting since it's so small. It was in a great location! Only a 30 minute walk to the Pier and the Dali! The Tap Room and little cafe next door are both lovely (bonus: the baristas make a KILLER iced caramel latte!). The bed was extremely comfy, and the room was well kept! The style of the room was also nice, it felt like I was staying at a friend's place!

The walls are VERY THIN. The first night I was definitely hearing sounds I did not want to hear from other guests. I was right next to the stairs as well so I heard people walking around all night. This is an older building it seems, so definitely heads up if you're sensitive to late night noises (maybe bring some headphones to block out other peoples' rambunctious fun evening times LOL)

Very comfortable bed, slept very well and did not want to get up in the morning. We have always stayed at the Hollander but had a very bad stay last year so decided to try the Avalon and exceeded our expectations…this is where we will stay from now on. However, the pool at the Hollander was great and the bar service there and at the main bar at night was great, nothing like it was last year.

Nothing, except a postcard with a photo of the old building like they do at the Hollander.

Love the property and the extras offered between Avalon and the Hollander. We have stayed at both before and enjoy the hotel and the staff is great.

The bed felt like it was sagging, there was no light in the hall where the full length mirror is located, the water temp did not stay steady and changed between cold and hot, and because our room was closest to the street it was very noisy from traffic throughout the night.

We enjoyed the friendly staff, complimentary wine in the evening, and the pleasant lobby/porch area. Having access to the restaurant and pool area at the Hollander next door was a very nice amenity. The location is great to enjoy the downtown St Pete area.

Our room was very cramped and older with a tiny bathroom and no soundproofing from noise outside the room. The room was dirtier than expected with floors in need of a good mopping and dusty, sticky surfaces.

We had an apartment in the suites building and it was perfect for our family of 3. It was close to the restaurant, bar, and pool so we didn’t feel away from the action but had space so that it was a disturbance when we slept/rested. The coffee in the morning was great and the restaurant food next door was delicious also.

The bed was not as comfortable as I would have liked but adequate for a short stay.

The location was great, since we were attending the Ray's game, plus they had shuttle service to the game - "G" was awesome! My mother said the bed was very comfortable, but too hard for me. They had areas for everything - hanging at the pool, bar, lobby - indoor and outdoor seating everywhere. The wine in the evening was a nice bonus. I can't say enough about the staff - everyone was welcoming, polite, nice and sincere! If you like older properties with character - you will really like the Avalon and Hollander in St. Petersburg.
