Magnuson Grand Hotel Warren, Warren

We checked in very late on a Sunday and are staying until Friday. Business trip mostly. Brand new microwave didn't work but replaced immediately. Couldn't connect to internet but helped immediately. Beautiful golf course but I don't play. Nice neighborhood nearby for walking in. The Rig bar and grill next door has cocktail hour from 11am to 6pm with $1.50 bottles and drinks so tried that one night and ate there, too. Awesome bar food. Hot breakfast every day but weekends which is continental then. With a little tweeking it would be awesome. Same apples, no bread for toast, just bagels and that can be too much. Scrambled eggs and potatoes are excellent. Bacon good. Sausage needs to be replaced with a better tasting brand. Too greasy. A banana would be nice. Pancakes or toaster waffles would be a nice addition and they're not going to break the budget. Orange juice is only choice. Too bad indoor pool isn't filled. I brought 3 bathing suits for naught. A small workout room would be good, too, as this inn is used by a lot of local businesses for putting up employees who come to town for training. Next we'll try the restaurant on the other side.

I would never stay at this resort. It's like they don't want to spend any money on fixing up this place. The smell in the whole hotel is awful. They must not have someone with hotel managment running this place. The golf course is ok, but not what was expected from ad. The rooms are run down. They have not been updated in years. The room was very hot upon arrival. When asked why room was so hot at arrival, was told the owner doesn't like turn on ac until someone checks in. Maybe the next hotel he stays at that will be the case. and he can see what that is like. Never again will we stay there again. The thing is that it could be a really nice place if they would just fix it up.

I've been staying at the Avalon Inn one weekend a year for over 10 years. It's like stepping back in time to a more gracious age. Always had excellent, friendly service. The staff has been delightful and the rooms were lovely. It is definitely not a cookie-cutter box of a hotel. I would recommend the Avalon Inn to anyone - and I don't even golf!

I travel several times a month for business and when in the Warren area again, I will be avoiding this one... Nasty rooms, dirty carpet in the room. The room also smelled bad. The staff was rude. Probably one of the worst managed propertys I have ever seen. The golf courses are no big deal as I don't have time to golf when I am there anyway. But it is kind of like surrounding a pig pen with rose gardens. It still stinks...

A Golf lover's dream! Situated between two beautiful golfcourses, Avalon Inn is a beautiful resort located in a residential area, but only minutes from a large commercial mall complex and baseball stadium. Avalon is also near downtown Youngstown-about 15 minutes. I highly recommend this hotel to business/leisure and any group. Any time I travel to the Warren/Youngstown area, I stay here. The staff is great and there is a wonderful restaurant just across the parking lot called The Chophouse. A must stay!
