A complimentary shuttle service to and from the boat dock is available.

“The hotel's family-run atmosphere and historical backdrop certainly appeal, and its central location near restaurants and the beach is a real advantage; plus, some rooms offer excellent town views. While the active nightlife nearby might be a concern for some, the attentive staff aims to make every stay special. It's a characterful option in Avalon.”
