Incredible building, decor, views, vibe

It’s rustic with a lot of charm! It was clean! The owner is friendly and responsive!

Great place to stay

Our room was very clean and comfortable! We enjoyed the common areas of the hotel which gave opportunity to meet new people and to hear about their adventures biking and hiking.

Absolutely loved everything about it

The Avon is an amazing historic building and our stay was great. The hosts were friendly and helpful. One wors of warning, the building did not appear very handicap accessable.

Great atmosphere, enjoyed the resident Dog

This is a hotel with character. Start with a historic structure and updates that retain the historic character but make things functional. I really liked the laid back vibe of the place, from the 60's & 70's music playing in the lobby to the retention of much original wood throughout. There are collections of old typewriters, adding machines, books and other items that enhance the theme. I stayed in a hostel room which was clean with a good mattress and bedding. The bath across the hall was also clean and functional with fixtures updated to the present. This is not the Ritz; there is for example, no air conditioning, but there are a number of fans and the highs in Silverton (9,300') were manageable in August. As a guest, I had access to a commercial type kitchen, much refrigeration space and free coffee or tea or hot chocolate. The "hang around" spaces are pleasant. The lobby mentioned above and the 3rd floor deck are great places to read, chat or just hang out. From the deck, you get a view of much of the town and the mountains beyond.

Love the atmosphere, amenities for hikers and how clean the rooms and bathrooms are.

We loved The Avon, can’t wait to come back next year

Built in 1904 the Avon is comfortable, roomy with a lot of charm. Host makes kitchen available for cooking. Great view of the mountains and easy walking to historic district.

I stayed in one of the shared rooms and it was a great experience. The shared bathroom was very clean. There were multiple common areas to hang out in during the day/evening. The access to the kitchen/microwave was an added bonus. The staff was helpful and kind. I absolutely loved my stay and highly recommend the Avon.

This place was really unique and service was excellent. Will definitely be back.

This place is so cool! They made us feel right at home. We will be back.

This old hotel is being rehabbed and our room was very nice with a private bath and queen bed. Things are a bit different here. The place is a hostel as well as a hotel so a variety of guests from back packers sharing a room with travelers from europe to professionals who like the funky decor, open lobby area with a bar and a commercial like kitchen than guests can use.

I was hesitant to pay so much for a hostel (usually pay under $45) but once I checked in I understood the cost. It felt like a boutique hostel. There were so many unique, cozy, interesting touches. It truly felt like an experience.

It was a house made into a hotel built in 1904. Great place with many antiques. The whole historical town was walkable.

Unique place to stay. You feel like you’re back in time of the gold miners. Room was small but there are several common areas to relax (living rooms, dining room, library). Shared Bathrooms were beautiful. However, our bed (room 6) was not very comfortable. The mattress is probably due for a replacement because we were sinking in the middle. Overall, great place to stay for one night.

Nice place. Very clean and felt inviting.

Still the best place I’ve stayed in years!! I’m a skier who travels a lot. The Avon is easily the best place I stay each year. Wonderful ambiance, caring and attentive owners who actually care about their visitor’s experience.

Such a beautiful and quirky place.

It’s a historical motel with a friendly vibe.

My stay at The Avon was a unique experience that I will never forget. The ability to cook your own food in the kitchen, the relax atmosphere of everyone in the morning meeting up downstairs to get coffee and find out where everyone is from and what there plans are is a social gathering that's unique at The Avon. The room was cozy and showers and restrooms were always clean with fresh towels. I will be looking at The Avon next year when we go up to Ski winter of 2023. Thank you Dan and Patrick.

We loved our stay at The Avon! Wished we would have been able to stay longer than one night. The hotel is an old historic building that’s been restored. The rooms and bathrooms have been nicely remodeled. There was not a TV in our room but we hung out downstairs in the “lobby” area with other guest around the wood fire place. My husband and I enjoyed board and card games that were provided. Although we went to a local restaurant, the was a full kitchen available for use at the hotel! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Owner very nice Room large( actually two bedrooms) Daily room cleaning and towel service

Really cool place to stay!

Character building

Old mining establishment. Funky, rad stay for the proper guest.

Fantastic 120 year old hotel being slowly restored by youngish owner. Great vibe. Large common area where people mingle and socialize (if the want). Lots of Colorado Trail backpackers stop here to rest and recover for a day or more.

Great find!

It was a little different with a shared bathroom. Honestly we loved it. That old western brothel/boarding house feel was super cool, I thought. It was very clean, and you have full use of the kitchen and bar area, which I thought would be super cool to come back with a group. The town is super cute and friendly, I would stay again.

Very cool place, fantastic and helpful people. Highly recommend staying at the location. It really could not have worked out better for us.
