The hotel has one restaurant. Open 9-2pm only. Couldn’t even get some coffee to our room (and they only had just drip) before they opened.

Brief visit
We enjoyed our stay on Saturday 11/14/24. The room was cozy and bed comfortable. It was fancy but provided a good spot for resting while touring around Avalon.
