Hotel Metropole (Avalon, USA)

Guests who chose rooms with full or partial ocean views said that being able to sit out on their balconies whilst admiring the picturesque scenery was one of the highlights of their stay. Many appreciated the stylish and modern decor including hard wood flooring and floor to ceiling windows which allowed lots of natural light into the rooms.

The hotel is just a few steps away from the beach which suited many guests who came to relax and soak up the rays. Guests also appreciated having numerous cafes, bars and restaurants in close vicinity to their accommodation as well as a grocery store where they could stock up on essentials.

Guests enjoyed the breathtaking views from the deck and welcomed the opportunity of being able to relax in the hot-tub. Those who visited the on-site spa said that they were very pleased with their facials and massages which were carried out in the well-presented and tranquil treatment rooms.

Guests whose rooms were on the lower floors said they were able to hear noise from the dustbin vans and delivery trucks from the street below which they described as quite intrusive and prevented many from opening their windows.

The standard-type rooms lacked quite a few amenities which the guests were expecting to find including microwaves and minifridges. Guests said that their stay would have been more comfortable if they had better amenities in their rooms.

Accessing the Internet from their rooms proved to be rather a struggle for the guests who said that the Wi-Fi signal was quite weak and intermittent.
