Excellent Stay! Beautiful facility and wonderful people. Amazing location only a block from the boardwalk. The rooms were clean with a great balcony. They offer breakfast and free wine and cheese in the afternoon. I would definitely stay there again.

The Avenue Inn exceeded all expectations for our stay! My wife and I enjoyed the balcony for coffee in the morning and before going to bed. Beds were awesome with comfortable pillows. The complimentary breakfast was very good and offerings changed daily for variety. Quiet at night.

Great for family vacation This hotel is outstanding for families. Great amenities and customer service. Kids enjoy golf cart ride, with Lew. Beds are not new but that is ok, in time maybe they will be replaced. It's our 4th year, and we want to go back for more.

Very nice stay. If you are in the Annex be aware of the stairs. Otherwise it was a great stay. The front desk staff was very responsive to my needs. And I loved that you could get water in the Lobby anytime you needed.

Will definitely go back. Very clean, close proximity to the beach and boardwalk, the staff very helpful and courteous, lots of amenities. The pool was a plus for when we were tired from the beach but still wanted to swim. Great for families or couples. Will definitely go back.

Excellent property and location You can tell the staff really cares about their customers and the property. All the little details were covered. The daily beach buggy service to the boardwalk was a godsend for my family member with mobility issues. Awesome location and good value for the money.

Highly recommended! Safe, clean, great location! Within walking distance to beach, boardwalk, shopping, and restaurants. Wine and cheese hour and cookies and milk at 8pm was an added bonus. Plenty of parking in the underground garage.

In the middle of things Clean the outside area, especially railings and steps. Otherwise fine location other than noise from trash trucks. View of trash also not great. Some noise from Purple Parrot but not bad. Annoying that this review had to be so long.

Kick-off to summer After finishing a year of me instructing and my friend providing medical care, we kicked off our summer here. What a great choice. Close, clean and staff was accommodating and friendly. The wine and cheese hour along with board games is a great amenity.

Family beach trip Perfect location only a block from the beach. Hotel provided shuttle service and beach chairs are extremely convenient especially for those with young kids or older guests. Could not be more happy with the cleanliness of the property and the professionalism of the staff. Will definitely visit again!
