I really enjoyed my stay at this property! Amber at reception sent me a message as soon as my room was ready so I was able to get in a bit early, which was greatly appreciated because I had just finished the Trans-Catalina Trail and was in desperate need of a shower. Amber also had great recommendations for restaurants. The property itself is clean and comfortable, and has a two-level roof deck with fantastic views. They also offered beach towels for guests. Overall I would recommend!
Amazing place to stay on Catalina Island! We got a free room upgrade, early check in, and we’re allowed to store luggage before check in and after check out if needed.
The rooftop was one of our faves! We ordered dinner from a sushi spot down the street and sat up there for dinner one night.
This place was affordable and exceeded every expectation! We can’t wait to come back!
Quaint, old home that has been converted into a b&b style hotel. Quiet and a great location. Avalon is small enough where most attractions, restaurants, bars, and beaches are close by.
Have stayed at many location in Catalina and this is by far my favorite location. Close to the beach and dining location.the staff is friendly and welcoming.
Great little spot close to the center of town, excellent service by staff.

The room we stayed was very small, the good thing is that have a small fridge and a microwave. Stairs to go to the rooms, very poor internet connection. Good location, walkable distance from Catalina ferry dock, shopping and dining area.
We had an amazing time at the hotel! The rooftop was so great and the room was spacious and comfortable. Thank you to Juan and Amber they are so fantastic!
A hidden gem of a hotel. Location couldn ’t be more convenient. Friendly staff helpful with recommendations for newcomers. Comfortable bed. And I loved the roof deck. Would definitely stay here again.
The staff was so helpful! They went above and beyond to help my husband with his duty in getting snacks and drinks for the paddlers. Shout out to Amber, Michael, and Nicole in assisting him with shopping and transporting the goodies from Vons to the pier. We so appreciate you and will definitely be back as our go-to place to stay while in Catalina.
