The location of this hotel is great and their website makes the hotel look charming and clean. However, the room we stayed in was beyond vintage and we did not get to check in until after 4:00. The head board of the bed was not attached to the bed or the wall, and every time we turned over, it banged... More

Great location, right across from the beach. Restaurants and shopping in walking distance. The water taxi is the best kept secret in town. Unlimited access for only $20.- a day. The Waterfront Inn's most valued and appreciated diamond in the rough would be JAVIER. Professional, efficient, accommodating and always in good spirits with a smile on his face. He has... More

This is an old hotel, a classic. We stayed 4 night and absolutely loved it. It obviously needs work and the current management appears to be doing all they can to make guests stay enjoyable. The plumbing is a challenge and there is a bit of rust but it works. Considering some of the reviews we were pleasantly surprised. The... More

We stayed at the Avalon for 4 nights recently and when booking I did read all the reviews but booked nonetheless as 2 of the nights were over spring break and availability and price for those nights forced us to book the Avalon over some other hotels on the blvd. I don't think I can add much to the other... More

We stayed at the Avalon for two nights. I was a little afraid after reading other reviews, but my experience was great. We got the king suite, and it was the largest room I have ever had, at any price! I'd estimate it was 800 square feet! There was a large living room, dining room with bay window, equipped kitchen,...

This is an old dilapidated disgusting nasty hotel. We booked online for my family of four and were shocked when we opened the door to our room. The ONLY thing going for this place is that it is right across the street from the beach. The pillows had hair on them, the tub had been repainted but chipping and the... More

Stayed at the Avalon for a week in an efficiency and absolutely loved it! For the price you can't beat it. Clean, friendly, and the best location on the beach. It's not the Hilton, which is right next door, but you aren't paying for the Hilton! Loved my stay! More

We had booked 2 nights here, fearing the worst after we read the negative online reviews. But it was perfectly clean, the pools (there are 3) were clean and warm, we certainly had clean sheets, the carpeting is new - in short, none of the horrors we found in the reviews. It is extremely cheap for Ft. Lauderdale, and the... More
