be careful when you book your room

When I checked in, I was given a room that was not originally assigned to me. Although it was an upgrade, I questioned the change and hotel staff told me that no this was fine and was the room I was supposed to get. After two nights of my three nights stay I get a phone call from the front office, telling me I need to check out of this room as it has been promised to someone else. Do not misunderstand, I was staying in a room that was very nice, but did not reflect the rate I paid as I paid a lower rate but… I questioned this two times and was told it was OK… Until it wasn’t . The hotel tried to compensate us with another room but by this time I had had enough. Moving to another room for one night was out of the question. I have never felt more uncomfortable ever. I have been coming to the Avalon/Stone Harbor area for over 35 years and have never been this disappointed

Lovely place to stay. Staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. Only downside is that there is only valet parking. It’s complimentary but inconvenient for those of us who like to hop in our cars and go. If you’re a foodie, Restaurant Luciano is a 2-minute walk away.
