Beautiful hotel stay
Pros:

Beautiful view from the balcony of the room. This place was so pretty and peaceful and the staff were so friendly and helpful. I would have stayed much longer if I could. The restaurant/bar on property is excellent as well. Beautiful island hikes start right outside the hotel entrance. One of the few pet friendly places I could find. They also offer a shuttle to and from the heart of Avalon; the walk from the ferry to the hotel is still short and pleasant.

Cons:

Nothing!

We really liked everything about the stay except the booking.com price match "guarantee" experience.
Pros:

Room, shuttle, pool, staff, restaurant.

Cons:

Booking.com overcharged us and didn't honor its price match guarantee.

Disappointing, left island early due to check-out & check-in times. Whatever happened to a 24 stay?
Pros:

Not much of anything. It looked great on paper, but once there I found a multitude of different ratings for the hotel. The person who checked us in at the "temporary" front desk was the best thing about the hotel, next to the shuttle driver.

Cons:

The bathroom was filthy, mold, loose floor tiles, just disgusting. The facility was a combination of run downed and rehab. The bar was also disgusting and no one knew how to make a proper drink. I wouldn't have thought to have bought food there. I was very unhappy with my choice and buyer beware, shame on me.
