I liked the location of the hotel. Avalon is very small so everything is walkable. This hotel is on the farther end away from the cruise ship disembarkation area which made it less crowded. The best time is after all the cruise ship people leave around 4pm and the town is quiet again.

We enjoyed our stay at Bellanca Hotel. The room was kept very clean and the housekeeping staff were great to come at a time requested. The entire staff was very friendly and accommodating. We have stayed at this hotel several times going way back to when it was Portifino Hotel. The rooftop patio has been updated and nicely appointed with outdoor furniture. It has to be one of the best ocean front views of any of the hotels. Our Cabana room was a nice surprise being larger, having a small patio and some other extras like a closet and robes. We will definitely go back to Bellanca.

The small rooms were very nice and recently renovated. Very helpful staff. There is a small bar and restaurant on site with limited hours. The location is perfect: walk to everything in Avalon, yet not crowded or noisy. Did not like: the room door is just a glass sliding patio door (not very private). No bedside table lamps. Needs a second luggage rack.

The staff was excellent!! The grout in the bathroom needs to be clean and grout around the shower mildew. The bathroom floor did not look clean. The carpet is worn and felt damp after each shower. Not enough storage. The mattress a little worn.

Disliked: Amenities
I felt that for the price that we paid for the property. All of the staff was great. The price did not reflect the product very very expensive for some areas that were not clean like the rooftop and limited older looking rooms and some worn down paint and areas I did love that they were able to provide us with chairs bikes, and other amenities that we could take to the beach. The bar was great and the staff at the bar was really good.
