My stay at the Avondale Motor Inn was far from ideal. While the location was convenient and the rooms were clean, the service and amenities left much to be desired. I encountered several issues, from the lack of essential kitchen items to unresponsive management regarding urgent maintenance needs.

The motel advertised several amenities, but many were not maintained. The pool was empty, and the kitchen had insufficient utensils which made cooking difficult. I expected better for the price I paid.

I had a mixed experience at Avondale Motor Inn. The staff were friendly and the location was ideal for my needs, close to everything I wanted to visit. However, the cleanliness of some common areas could be improved, and I found the accommodations to be a little basic for the price. Overall, it served its purpose for my short stay, but I might consider other options in the future.

The facilities like the pool seemed uninviting and not well-maintained, which made me hesitant to use them. The laundry service was a plus but could have been advertised better.

My stay at the Avondale Motor Inn had its ups and downs. The room was relatively clean, but I felt that privacy was limited due to the sliding glass door right next to the bed. I did have a comfortable bed, but the noise from neighboring rooms and the lack of iron were issues that affected my experience.

Rooms

5.0

The room I stayed in was quite small, reminiscent of cramped hotel rooms, with barely enough space to open my suitcase. It was also a bit dark, and I found a spider in the corner, which made me uncomfortable. Privacy was a concern as the entryway was very close to where I slept.

Service

5.0

While the front desk staff was friendly, I had issues with communication regarding towels for my children. Despite showing the manager my booking confirmation, there was confusion about the number of towels provided, which dampened the service experience.

Location

6.0

The location was alright for me, as it was only a short drive to the areas I needed to visit. Being near the Avondale market was a plus that I appreciated, making it easy to find some local dining options.

Dining

5.0

The dining options were limited since I couldn't find restaurants within walking distance. But I did manage to find some nearby places for takeout.

Facilities

5.0

Facilities were just okay; the swimming pool was empty during my stay, which was disappointing given how it was marketed. I also noted that kitchen supplies were limited, and the overall maintenance seemed lacking, like the shower that had a poor water temperature.
