Q :We stayed with you recently & commented that your hotel exceeded our expectations of a 2 star hotel.Why do you not have a higher AA grading?
A: Thank-you. We are always aiming to exceed expectations.
We are currently graded an AA 2 star hotel,which we are very proud of. We have furnished all our rooms and installed facilities suitable for a 3 or 4 star AA grading. In 2008 we attained planning permission to join our 2 buildings 41 & 43, Grand Avenue.
It is our intention to add a central designated reception area & further facilities to the hotel in the near future. This enhanced facility will enable us to achieve a higher star grading.
t;Meanwhile, we are delighted that our customers feel they get a 4 star service at Avalon Beach Hotel.
Q:Do you host any themed weekends or activity weekends?
A: Yes we do. In Autumn & Spring we have a 'watercolour weekend' suitable for artists of all abilities. This class led by our guest artist Brian Wakeman proved to be a great success in Oct 2008.
