This is a very ordinary basic hotel and extremely over priced.

Sphinx for Avalon
The Sphinx probably had its heyday in the 1980’s and still retains the optimism of that era. Our room was sparkling clean with none of the dreadful chemical deodoriser smell some older premises use. As an asthmatic - thank you Sphinx! The restaurant and bar are handy and the service excellent.
