The hotel is very conveniently located in Metropole Avenue. It's not up a hill, unlike some of the hotels around Avalon, but be aware that there are many steps to climb. It's all of a minute's walk from Crescent Avenue and Casino Way, Avalon's main streets, with their shops and cafes. Mark, the manager, and the staff were all friendly, welcoming and helpful, and the stay just what we wanted for a budget overnighter (it came to about $56 each). I have no complaints at all. Yes, I'm sure it gets noisier in the peak season, but I wouldn't go to the island then anyway; it's shoulder-to-shoulder crowds! For a simple place to leave one's luggage and get a comfortable night's sleep, I certainly recommend the Hermosa Hotel.
