The Avalon is absolutely charming. It has such a cool art deco feel. The lobby is immaculately decorated, and they serve free white wine and champagne from 5-7pm, which was really nice - and the lobby and patio are perfect places to relax and enjoy some wine. We stayed one night for our anniversary after driving past the hotel a million times and thinking how cute it looked. We stayed in the actual hotel building on the first floor. The room was small but very comfortable and clean. Service was excellent. It’s nice that Avalon guests can also use the amenities at the Hollander but in my opinion the Avalon is a cooler place to stay than the Hollander. Breakfast at the Hollander was very good, and the heated pool was gorgeous. My only complaint about the Avalon is that the room was cold… we had the heat set to 82 all night long and it never got warm (but I recognize that it would not typically be expected that a guest would run the heat full blast in April in Florida). Also there were very limited outlets in the room to charge our devices. However, overall we had a really wonderful time and will definitely be back.
Every time my wife and I visit St. Pete, we always try to stay at this hotel. It is close to everything in downtown, parking is free, and the staff is great. Oh, and they serve cookies and coffee in the morning, and champagne and wine at 5 PM every day :)
I loved this place. It's Art Deco style and is reminiscent of old Miami hotels. Its sister hotel, The Hollander is right next door and has the restaurant and pool area. There is a happy hour every evening with free wine and champagne and the staff is very friendly and accommodating. We stayed in the suite which had a bedroom, living room, small kitchen and bathroom. It's mostly updated, but still has the charm of the vintage hotel. It's not the Ritz, but the charm and history and the cool hotel guests you'll meet more than make up for any shortcomings. Will stay again.
I prefer hard floors (not carpeting)
The shower was horrible, no pressure, intermittent hot water and without a handheld shower made it almost impossible to rinse off !
Staff were very friendly and helpful. The elevator to our building was out of service and we were unfortunately on the 3rd floor, but the 2 flights of stairs were thankfully short and manageable! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will remember this property if back in the area.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service
This Hotel was a big disappointment. The pictures online are definitely not reflective of the rooms. We had two rooms - one room had an old air conditioning unit that sounded like a bird chirping all night. I complained 3 times about this and each time they "claimed to have fixed it" however the noises got louder and louder, eventually clicking too and then dripping water. In the second room, the shower head fell off while showering, and the overall cleanliness of these rooms was less than acceptable. There was cold water in the showers and the shower didn't drain right- this hotel needs a major overhaul. When asking for assistance, there was one woman at the front desk who was nice and tried to help, however the two men that worked there were snarky and quite frankly rude- less than accommodating. The best part of this hotel, was the hotel next door in which we were able to use the pool, restaurant. Although conveniently located to centra St. Pete's, I would never stay here again. No refrigerators in rooms, fridge for use but only open between 7am-11pm (and we had to leave earlier than that). I have never been so disappointed in a hotel experience. I would have expected some compensation given our experience.
