Pros:

The location was great, the hotel had a really nice look - edgy, vintage and eclectic! Due to the vibe and decoration of the hotel, I think the rooms were a bit smaller than expected. But for the price, location and stay, it was a good deal!

Cons:

The parking needs to be redone. The rooms seem small.

Exceptional Service from Brian & Kevin, They Made All the Difference
Pros:

I want to specifically recognize Brian and Kevin at the front desk of the Avalon Hotel in St. Petersburg for providing truly exceptional customer service.

We unfortunately had an issue with our room having a noticeable mildew smell. While situations like this can easily put a damper on a hotel stay, Brian and Kevin completely changed the experience through the way they handled it. They were incredibly professional, understanding, attentive, and genuinely concerned about making sure we were taken care of.

What impressed us most was that neither of them treated our concern like an inconvenience. They listened, took the issue seriously, and immediately focused on finding a solution. Their attitude and level of hospitality were exactly what you hope to receive when something doesn't go as planned.

A hotel can have beautiful rooms and great amenities, but the people are ultimately what determine whether you want to return. Brian and Kevin are the kind of employees who create loyal guests. Because of the way they treated us, an issue that could have resulted in a negative experience instead became a reason to speak highly of the Avalon.

Management should be extremely proud to have Brian and Kevin representing this hotel. Their professionalism, kindness, and commitment to their guests deserve recognition.

Thank you both for going above and beyond. Five stars for Brian and Kevin — without hesitation.

We liked the hotel overall but would probably look at other properties for another stay.
Pros:

The suite was spacious and the pool area and bar were great.

Cons:

We could hear the people above us moving around a lot. The shower had very low water pressure. The couch in the living room was very uncomfortable to sleep on.
