Works for me
- April 21, 2007
- Rated 4 of 5 by

The Avalon is a perfectly satisfactory smaller Manhattan hotel, based on the four or five I've stayed in. Not luxurious, but the room was fine, the lobby adequate, and the service was good. Everything in Manhattan is too expensive, compared to even three years ago, but this was much cheaper than the "special conference rate" I was offered at a hotel a couple of blocks away for the meeting I attended. The location is central for pretty much anything Midtown.

As someone who has travelled a lot for her job and has seen quite a few upscale hotels, I was very pleased by this boutique hotel. The staff was friendly and helpful, the room was comfortable, clean and quiet, and the location was great. Added bonus: computer with free internet in lobby.

Booked a suite with two beds, got a single queen bed. Upgraded at n/c (thankfully because the room was by the freight elevator) when the tub plumbing broke immediately. Poor internet access, no written hotel information (brochure being "reprinted"), and the web site is incomplete or misleading. No breakfast available for my rate (no option to have requested that). Front desk didn't answer phone on repeated times. Nice linens, firm bed.firm. Very hot room; temperature couldn't be controlled. However, might book again at the right rate, knowing in advance the limitations (location).
Great room

The location of this hotel and the size and quality of our room was great. Housekeeping staff were very accomodating, front desk staff are in need of serious customer service training. Must eat at Phou 33, great food and service..
