Avalon hotel

I have not stayed at this hotel but I was shown around and I had a meal there.

From the outside I must say this hotel didn’t look that great and the entrance was rather too dark. I changed my mind though once I had a view of the very inviting swimming pool and bar area glittering in the evening. The hotel had a lot of charm.

The rooms had been recently re-decorated and smelled of new and had a touch of light green and blue that gave them a modern and casual feeling. The rooms were not, in my opinion, as spacious as other hotels of the same category, but they were well designed in order to maximise the space.

I had the pleasure of eating at the Italian restaurant and it was exquisite. It did not serve pizza but meat and pasta dishes of a very high quality and I would be surprised to eat better Italian food in Los Angeles!

The hotel is very central and good value for money. I think it suits younger travellers and anyone looking for a not too formal hotel to stay at. It has a great restaurant and a touch of history; Marilyn Monroe used to live there!
