Avia on Mays Landing

The night before we stayed at the worse hotel and took a chance here. I have NO idea why there are any 2star reviews, we were a bit scared but decided to go for it. The room had a full kitchen with appliances a couch bed a king bed and the shower head was amazing. The breakfast was a good spread & I was happy to get bacon because it always runs out. Pool looked nice but we didn’t use it. We were pleasantly surprised and for $270 it’s a steal compared to what is offered around there for same price. It’s about 2min drive to OC as well!

I liked it overall. Only complaint was the bath towels were stained and not big enough and Needs cosmetic updates. Wall paper was falling off and some stains on carpets.

The front desk staff was very nice and accommodating. The pool was nice. But the property could use some updates. Our bathroom was gross. Stains on the bathroom door, a hole in the wall that was stuffed with toilet paper, flies/gnats in the room, and sand in the beds.

The front desk staff needs to have better English skills! This used to be a great place to stay, but the new management is lacking. Breakfast used to be a decent hot meal and is now Continental during the week and a pretty lame one, at that. They charged my credit card $60 more than the ******* price and it’s very difficult to straighten that out with a person who doesn’t understand English very well. Very doubtful that I would stay there again

Clogged kitchen sink, toilet flap doesn’t always close (running water). TV only has 5 stations and none are cable just local news stations.

I recently stayed at this hotel managed by AVIA, who purchased from Sonesta, and I was extremely disappointed with my experience. The outside area was dirty and poorly managed. Garbage was piled up everywhere in the pool area with a dirty diaper that was under a table for two days ,the side of the building close to the pool (the check in area)had pushcart filled with garbage next to the bushes with flies swarming around it. Our room had no bath towels, just hand towels. They gave us pool towels to compensate . There was no soap or shampoo in the refillable bottles in the shower. The parking lot was littered with trash. I also booked a room on the first floor for my parents, it smelled like mold. They didn’t have anything to spray in the room so we actually ran out and purchased Lysol and tried that. I would think that the early shift at 6:00 am in morning or third shift staff does not do much, so they could at least put the chairs around the table at the pool area, and at least tie the garbage bags that’s surrounded by flies and replace it with a clean bag at least once every day instead of letting the Garbage pile up for a few days straight. A daily walk around the parking lot with a garbage bag probably couldn’t hurt. This hotel needs significant improvements in cleanliness and management. A simple obvious punchlist would probably resolve some of their issues that need to be attended to . I would not recommend staying here if you used to staying at other Sonesta’s hotel .
