"The Avalon is a perfectly satisfactory smaller Manhattan hotel, based on the four or five I've stayed in. Not luxurious, but the room was fine, the lobby adequate, and the service was good. Everything in Manhattan is too expensive, compared to even three years ago, but this was much cheaper than the ""special conference rate"" I was offered at a hotel a couple of blocks away for the meeting I attended. The location is central for pretty much anything Midtown."

The Avalon was comfortable and in a great loc for the price. We stayed here for 3 days and then returned after a weekend in Boston for the remainder of our trip. The suites are much roomier, however the deluxe room still has the same comfy bed and tasteful decor, large bath and was clean. Only 2 blocks from the Empire State building, a few more from Macys and great shopping. Convenient to subway stops, excellent value. We have already recommeneded this hotel to friends who are visiting in the fall and we will definitely return. Staff is friendly, we ate one dinner and one breakfast in the hotel restaurant and were very pleased with both.

Staff was very accomadating. Needed to file a complaint with front desk about sink not draining, had repair completed before we returned from dinner. Hotel is an older establishment, vanity mirror broken off wall with exposed wires. No view, within half block of empire state building, several nice deli's nearby. A Block from subway. Staff was friendly & helpful. Calls to front desk for extra blanket, pillow or Ice was delivered within minutes.

Our stay at this hotel make our vacation to be better than we have thought about. The location is great you do have the feelling you are in the center of manhattan, easy access to metro station, very safe to walk even late at night, quiet neigborhood and our three children were really happy because it was very easy to go back to the hotel for a sort rest to continue later either for shopping or for strolling around. The front desk was prompt to answer any queries and help us, the room service very quick, our junior suite was very clean and plenty of space for five. Our older daughter was really happy to have free internet access and to communicate every day with her friends in Greece. We recommend to get the hop on service for the first days, very convenient and value for money. The breakfast in the hotel costs more than the near delis cafe.

The location is great especially if you like Korean food since it's right in the heart of Koreatown. It's also a block away for the Empire State bldg and about 4 blocks from Madison Square Garden. Unfortunately I was VERY unhappy about our room. Our room smelled old and musty and reminded me of a funeral home. The bathroom sink was clogged - REALLY NASTY! Several outlets in the room did not work and were coming out of the wall. It was pretty noisy- definitely can hear the street traffic. I just felt so uncomfortable in our room! Take your chances staying here. Just don't be surprised if things don't work or things fall off or apart.

The room we stayed in was nice and the view was on 32nd street which was nice. The problem we had is from day one our door would not lock so therefore anyone could just push on the door and it would open. We stayed there for 6 nights and they never fixed the door nor did they offer us an additional room. The room was good along with everything else. They really need to work on the front desk and customer service. Our friends stayed at the same hotel but in a different room. Their safe would not work and they reported it the first day and 6 days later, still broken.

"My daughter and I were in New York May 13-19 to watch the Yankees play ball and to do some sight seening We stayed at the Avalon Hotel and were very pleased with the room, it was clean and we had plently of room. The staff was great. We enjoyed the location of the hotel, being within walking distant to Empire State Building as well as other sites that we wanted to visit. We would diffidently stay there again."

Went for a weekend getaway to NYC and were not pleased with this hotel! Front desk was very rude and maids did a poor job of cleaning rooms -especially the bathrooms! Upon checkout they informed me that we had a mini bar charge and we don't even drink! I told her that we did not purchase anything from the mini bar and she said that she will take it off our bill but I was still charged on my credit card! Tried for several days after this to contact the manager but he was always conveniently away from his desk or in a meeting. I left him several messages but no return call.
