AVALON HOTEL

My boyfriend and I recently stayed at Avalon for Coachella weekend, and our experience was nothing short of delightful! The hotel is very close to downtown Palm Springs which made it easy for us to explore, especially with the availability of e-bikes provided by the hotel. The rooms were very clean and the garden and pools have stunning views of the mountains. Each morning we enjoyed a lovely breakfast, with the Chi Chi breakfast burrito being a standout favourite! What truly sets Avalon apart is the exceptional staff. From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed and cared for. They went above and beyond to ensure our comfort and were always available to assist us with anything we needed. This was our third time staying at Avalon, and it definitely won't be our last! Perfect place if you're looking for a relaxing getaway weekend or a base for festival adventures like Coachella or Stagecoach.

i find their meal pricing and additional 4% duty unreasonable.

Killer play to stay, Lexi and Jeremy are both legends. Cheers!

Stopped in for a drink. Cool old Beverly Hills vibe. Great staff. No rush, no drama. Food far superior to most hotel restaurants, excellent in fact.

This is a renovated 1950s style motel. The rooms are decorated nicely with some amazing marble tile work and stone (yes stone!) furniture. The carpet in our room looked to be nearly original (and in need of replacement). The beds are very comfortable and the linens are as good as you would hope for from a boutique high end hotel.

There is quite a bit if road noise and noise from adjoining rooms and the courtyard. If possible, try to stay on the 3rd floor, otherwise you may hear people's footsteps above you.

Note that there is apparently a separate building in addition to the main building. While I did not see the other building I'd surmise the main building is where you want to stay.

Hotel staff was friendly.

There is a hotel restaurant and bar. I felt the service at the bar was friendly but inattentive.

Prices are relatively high, but that's to be expected in Beverly Hills. I did not appreciate the small print 4% added "wellness fee" on the bar bill. Given the prices of the drinks, and the expectation to still tip 20%, I felt this added and nearly hidden fee was petty and a bit of "nickel and diming" the customers.
