This was a large room with a kitchenette which made it easy for us to organise our own breakfast. It was also within easy distance of the local restaurants, a laundrette and a petrol station which was very useful.

Not a bad place to stay but in the morning we found the toaster was broken (not the end of the world except we have a 1yr old who desperately wanted his toast for breakfast) it was too early to resolve but at checkout we let the guy on the front desk know and it sounds like it happens often and he didn't seem to care that it wasn't functioning. The shower pressure was a bit poor also.

Okay for an overnight stay
A very late booking left us with an upstairs room which was changed on arrival to a larger ground floor room. The room was for 4 people but had no hanging storage space. There was no hairdryer. The was a microwave oven but no hob. The room was very clean but one of the sheets was marked which had not come out in the wash. The hand and bath towels seemed to be old and stiff and the kitchen towel did not dry well.. The shower was good but paint had started to come off a shower wall. We gave stayed here before and would go again if in Thames but this room was due for a bit of refurbishment. We were met well and management was friendly and helpful in the room change which was necessary due to mobility problems. WiFi in the room was not good at all and TV channels limited.

The host was great, settle us in to our room with no hassles. The room itself was spacious, very clean with great amentities. We were on the ground floor overlooking the pool. The only thing we were not happy about was that we couldnt stay longer.

Great communication and remedial action
I didn't stay hence the neutral ratings as there are no "N/A" options. Despite booking and payment being made a room was not available. However, as soon as the manager became aware he contacted me and advised that a nearby alternative had been arranged. This action means that I will book to stay at Avalon at a future visit. The alternative accommodation rated as excellent.
