Avon Motel

Avon Motel

8/10 Good
"We were very happy with our one night stay at the Avon Motel. We really appreciated the care taken to insure the unit was immaculately clean. The beds were comfortable, and we had the advantage of a mini-fridge, coffeemaker, and microwave. Chairs were provided to sit outside under the roof overhang. We could walk to the beach in less than 10 minutes, and afterwards there was an outside shower and hose to rinse off the sand. Staff members were extremely friendly. Overall this was a nice experience. Great location!"
