The 3 Star Avalon Hotel is located in the Historic Art Deco district located directly on Ocean Drive. This two building hotel was restored in 1997 to a tropical art deco style hotel.
I stayed at this hotel in Mid January 2005. First off, there are 2 hotels, the Avalon, and the Majestic. Avalon side is nicer. Both are clean. The rooms are small and there are no frills. The elevator is one of those small, sliding door deals. Very old-fashioned. It’s easier to take the stairs, which are enclosed. <br><br> The whole place reminds you of an old-fashioned boarding house. The cable was great. Not sure who goes to Miami Beach to stay indoors but if you get caught in inclement weather, you will definitely find something to watch. The televisions are older models however. TV/VCR combinations. <br><br> All in all it’s not QUITE what you would expect for the rate in high-season ($160-$200+). But again it is CLEAN. The bathrooms, like the rooms are small, but well kept but you are not getting any extra towels, lol. The room has a very small dresser and closet (that could stand to be dusted, lol). <br><br> The iron is bound to the ironing board by a coiled wire. The location is wonderful right in the middle of South Beach. At night the porch alone will make you want to party as you see the beautiful (and the not so beautiful, lol) people ride/walk by.
