The staff is very friendly and the price is among the lowest we could find there. Other than that is a below average hotel, not even a place for hanging clothes in our room.

Hotel is a perfect location easy to walk everywhere and with lots of options around it. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Older property so it needs upkeep.

It was easy to access for shopping but the shower head was not good and also the ac unit was not clean leaving black dust on the sheet

Nice place to stay. Cozy place with a comfortable bed. Very walkable to the main part of Avalon.

The bathroom was very small and a little run down and the room itself did not have a lot of amenities, like a safe or cleaning. It was okay for what we needed as we were only in the hotel to sleep or take breaks.

The location is central to the main area of Avalon. The hotel, like most in the downtown area, appears to be a converted old home and so is a little basic. No in room coffee but there is a coffee shop nearby. Good basic room in a great location

The staff at the hotel were very friendly and helpful. It wasn’t a luxury property, but we were only there to sleep. Convenient to walk around town to all the shops and restaurants, as well as the beach club for kayak rentals and snorkeling in front of the Casino theater. I would definitely book again!

Location is great. Friendly staff and easy check in. This place is OLD, so rooms are small and a little run down. Bathroom was also small. We stayed in a double queen room that was a little snug for us 2 and our 6 yo.

2nd time staying at the Hermosa Hotel, facility is clean and pleasant, area around hotel is quiet with plenty of options for food, entertainment and shopping. Shirt walk to the beach or ferry landing.

Location was perfect, the beds are comfy but the room itself is small. Near the center of town, easily walkable from the Catalina Express. Prices aren’t bad. Standard toiletries made available as well as fridge, microwave, hairdryer, and iron as well as a luggage room and 24/7 helpline (but clerk not on duty outside of regular working hours).

Alex was extremely helpful carrying my luggage up and down the stairs since the property has no elevator. IT was great to have a fridge. I didn't try the microwave or burner to see how those worked. The Museum is very loud and noise came in from activities on the rooftop. I stayed in a cottage. Very convenient location and not too far uphill. Older, but had everything I needed for a short stay. It was wonderful to have a place to leave baggage too.

If you request a pet friendly room expect it to be small and dirty. The bottom of my feet turned black after walking around the room barefoot. The room was tiny. Stained sheets. Dirty shower. The a/c sounded like a freight train. Maybe their regular rooms are better but our experience was pretty gross.

Very interesting historic property. Clean rooms, kept decently up to date. A/C worked, which was crucial to comfort even in April. Kitchenette was nice to have. Upper floors are accessible by stairs only, so mobility limited persons should check for lower level room availability. Some rooms are reportedly haunted, if you're into that sort of thing. Though the hotel staff and I are skeptical.

I loved my little bungalow with its own little kitchen. Very comfortable and the home made berry cobbler they had in the lobby upon arrival was a nice touch. Cute little place, ill stay again.
