Right on the main drag , transportation is expensive in Avalon. You can walk to Descanso Beach and Lovers Cove 1/2 mile each way. Restaurants right there. Bars are super taxed and drinking out is expensive. Most restaurants bars don't list drink prices and tax tourists hard. Byob in Avalon go to Vons deli to eat cheap for lunch. Great place seemingly good rates for the area great location for walking. Botanical gardens a bit of a rip maybe just walk through like you own it.

Nothing

No doubt the building is old but is well maintained, is clean, comfortable, location is great. Breakfast consists of various breads, yogurt, OJ, coffee and tea, and it is more than enough, in my opinion, to keep us excited in the morning. Daniel and Jackie were excellent help to just about everything. I commend their patience, understanding, and I can say that they’re just all out to help guests with anything to make their stay enjoyable and pleasant. All the excellent reviews I read before reserving the rooms are all true. Congratulations hotel MacRae for performing at a level that surpasses what was initially anticipated or required. We will come back again.

The staff, to me, is what I like the most. Excellent attitude.

Location could not be beat. The court yard area between the rows of rooms is very special with the patio furnishings.

Pastries & juice was nice, but I would like more to call it breakfast. Although we did get two adjoining rooms as we requested, we only learned at check in that our 14 year old grandson could not be in room with our 6 year old grandson to sleep overnight. That put me in the same bed with my 14 year old grandson. I understand the hotel rules, but I feel grandparents can keep control of a 14 & 6 year old in the adjoining room.

My husband and I spent three nights at Hotel MacRae which was wonderful!! The hotel is in a PRIME location, right in the center of town, which was great, close to everything! You walk out of the hotel and you're right on the beach! Our room, although small, was quiet, very clean and comfortable! Without asking, our room was cleaned up daily by the professional maids and it was a pleasure to return to a room "put together." The staff was extremely helpful! There are twenty five steps to climb up to, which we were able to do(even though we're seniors)! The bathroom is small, but the shower was fantastic!! It was nice that there was coffee, juice and pastries for a light breakfast, but it shouldn't be advertised as a "continental breakfast." A true continental breakfast has fruit and cereals. Overall, we loved our stay at the hotel and would return!!!!Remember, it is the oldest hotel in Avalon!

I loved the location. The hotel provided water which was definitely a plus. The breakfast pastries were fresh and appeared to be from a bakery. I did notice later in the morning that the pastries looked store bought so they must replenish later on with the cheaper stuff. I don’t blame them because the first pastries were so good I could only imagine some people take extras for later.

The room was tiny. It’s was still worth it but it was a little smaller than expected . The courtyard was great so it helped having wine or snacks out there.

I loved the location of the hotel, the staff was very friendly, it is a place that I will definitely I will return, you can walk from the ferry to the hotel without having to pay a taxi, everything is very close and in front of the hotel you can sunbathe on the sand and go into the sea! Breakfast is included, but if you like to go to the market it is around the corner from the hotel and you can buy your groceries for your stay, there are also restaurants very close, it is a paradise.

The property was in the middle of the bordwalk so it was nice to step out and be in the crowd of everything !! After your check out stay they have a spot where you can put your luggage’s so you don’t carry them around while you wait for your boat ride ! And they have a shower and bathroom for you to use after your check out ! In the room the bathroom was my favorite part because it has a sky light on top and it thought it was really cool

I liked everything

The location was fantastic, the hotel was charming and very clean.

I really don't want to mention it, because this hotel was charming and romantic and just such a special place. BUT it did advertise a "continental breakfast" which I would say don't bring your appetite to, it was coffee and a few rolls and some tiny apples.

I loved the coffee and pastries and I loved that the hotel was open outdoor and not an enclosed building. It was cozy and comfortable and the staff , especially the ladies that cleaned our room were very nice and hospitable. Will definitely come back.

There was a loud ass neighbor that sat on the outdoor lounge area early in the morning and that was in front of our window. She they were also next door and were just loud late night as well but either than that. We loved our stay!

Great, convenient location. Helpful staff. We appreciated that our room was ready early and we could drop our bags off so we could head out for hiking in the afternoon, and that there was a storage area we could store our bags at after our checkout the next morning.

Our room shared a wall with the public stairway, we heard everyone else coming and going.
