Close to shops and restaurants, but far enough away to be quiet. View from our room of the bay was great! Staff was super friendly and informative! Rooms were clean and modern.
Room was a little small, but didn't really feel cramped. Let's just say they used every inch of space as best they could! The location was up a short (but steep) hill, but it was manageable.

Continental breakfast was good. View was excellent! Staff very friendly and accommodating.
The closet was extremely too small. Space across was about 6 to 8 inches wide. Only 4 hangers available. We had to hang most of our clothes on the wall hooks. Didn't realize hotel was sitting on a hill. The climb up and down was very tiring for me. We finally took a cab to one restaurant. Tried to use the app to have a cab take us back to the boat and my husband couldn't get the app to respond. We finally got a number from the staff for a local cab and that worked out way better than the app.

It was a good climb uphill to get to, but we enjoy walking everywhere. Breakfast was nice, plus mimosas on Saturday. Wine and Cheese on Fridays was very relaxing. The deck was a fantastic place for many purposes. The staff could not have been more kind or accommodating. Parker, Casey, Fabian, and Melissa took great care of us! They gave wonderful recommendations and saw to all of our comforts! Awesome staff!! We appreciated housekeeping every day. The robes were nice to have available. Coffee, water, towels, even wine was available.
We would have appreciated more fresh fruit to be available anytime. Sometimes our room was missing a few things after housekeeping finished, soaps, shower caps, etc. The closet is small, but everything is on Catalina. The balcony was small, but lovely.

We had a standard ocean view room (213) which came with a balcony. The room was small, but everything that we needed was in there. The extra for the ocean view was well worth it. The staff were all helpful and the opportunity to use the hotels beach towels was a nice touch. The location was good. Just a short distance from the ferry and main street. However it is up a quite steep hill which was not a problem.
The complementary breakfast was not for us. It was quite bland and served in the hotel lobby area which became quite crowded. On our second day we went out for breakfast which was much better.

The rooms are small but clean and met our needs. We really like the outside area on the third floor with nice view of city. The staff was friendly and had a small breakfast in morning and cookies if afternoon which was nice touch. They also told us about The Circuit which is the Islands version of Uber and for $2 per person they will take you anywhere on island. Didn’t need an expensive golf cart rental with Circuit

The size of the room was okay given we paid for a 'junior suite'. Truthfully this would not be considered a suite if it were not on the remote Catalina Island, but a standard room.
-The jacuzzi tub was just okay. The tub bottom needs some sort of matt....very slippery. -The value was not there given we paid over $500 for one night. We expected a real suite with a balcony and view. What we were given was a no view room. -We could have paid half as much for a room more near everything and with a view.

The staff was friendly and very helpful. The room was spacious and clean. The area surrounding the hotel was quiet. Breakfast was a fairly good selection. The staff was helpful with a heater malfunction.
The room felt a bit dated. The sliding door into the bathroom was loud when opening and closing, and there was no complete privacy in the bathroom, even with the sliding door closed. There is glass on the wall that separates the bedroom and the bathroom; however, it is see-through.

The breakfast every morning it was a nice touch. They also had mimosas one morning a wine gathering another evening. There is a great upstairs deck with views of the harbor. The staff was super friendly and knowledgeable about the area. The locations is great, you have to go up a hill to get there, but it’s close everything Avalon has to offer.
Our room is small with limited storage, but it was fine for three days.

I took my son on a hiking trip for his 21 birthday. I could not have ask for a better experience and my son raved as well. The beds are comfy and the atmosphere was quiet. We had ocean view so we could look down onto the townspeople and watch the happenings. Wonderful hotel on a wonderful island. The breakfast was yummy and there were healthy options. I stayed 6 nights and aside from fresh towels I did not need my room serviced, but the staff would ask me regularly if I needed service which shows the staff is very observant and engaged
The shower was a tad small in our room but definitely not a deal breaker and typical of a Mediterranean style island so no complaints on my end

An absolutely beautiful location within walking distance of everything you need. The rooftop terrace offers a breathtaking view of the ocean, making it the perfect spot to relax and unwind. The place is impeccably clean, and the staff go above and beyond with their kindness, hospitality, and understanding. Their warm and welcoming nature truly made my stay unforgettable. Highly recommend!
