Avondale by the Sea Motel

Avondale by the Sea Motel

8/10 Good
"I've stayed here several times. They've done a lot of updates, so everything looks like new. We had some firm pillows that made our sleeping hard but asked if they had soft ones and they brought them right to us. The rest of the stay was so much better. Their continental breakfast used to rotate english muffins, bread for toast and bagels but sadly the 5 days we were there it was just bagels. It would be nicer for long term customers to rotate choices. I'll definitely stay there again. Love the view and location to shops and night strolls in the neighborhood."
