The Avalon Hotel in Catalina Island

I loved the fact that we had the most amazing view from our balcony. Upon arrival, the staff was incredible and super helpful - we were offered all types of guidance about where to go, when to have breakfast and any additional requests we had. It felt like staying in a unique boutique Inn which had the same amenities as a 5 star luxury hotel. The bathroom was so quaint, and the bed super soft and comfortable. We stayed on the 3rd floor so didn't hear much noise at night, and the staff was super accommodating and we LOVED that everything was in walking distance and close proximity. Definitely a place to stay if visiting Catalina :)

Nothing to complain about! Everything was absolutely wonderful. We're well traveled and would recommend this place for sure - 10/10

I enjoyed the lite breakfast in the beautiful and peaceful garden. The rooftop spot was perfect in the evening and allowed several groups to enjoy the views of the ocean. The staff was kind and the hotel even covered the fair to and from the hotel from the ferry. The bathroom had a special UV light for disinfection which was very cool!

I would have liked more breakfast options, being vegetarian I need more than a pastry or a bagel. that being said the hotel recommended plenty of other breakfast options nearby. Naughty Fox and Catalina cookies were the best. The stairs are a bit much if walking is hard for you.

It was a very good location, with charming rooms ( love the balcony with a swing bench!) - terrific staff- ( Wendy was awesome!)

I imagine it’s a Catalina issue- but the water pressure and water coverage with the shower and shower head is pretty weak. There is also a very squeaky spring noise on one side of the bed every time one sits on it or moves much. (this was room 203)

Our stay at The Avalon Hotel was amazing! The staff has been super attentive and helpful. The hotel offered complimentary breakfast which we could enjoy on their nice patio. The roof top terrace is a hidden gem offering a 360 view on the harbor and the mountains. Due to the weather our ferry got cancelled, and the front desk called us to make sure we updated our ticket in time, which has been super thoughtful. Could not recommend this place enough!

Amazing place! Allowed us to do an early check in and moved our bags into our room for us. The staff were very personable and delightful. The Avalon also had a beautiful bath tub in the room which is why we picked this hotel. I really liked the fact they had sanitation lights in the bathroom and for the tv remote which made it feel very clean. Will be coming back again soon!

The aesthetic of the hotel was so cool. It reminded me of a woodsy cabin library- with books on display, wood paneled walls, and places to lounge all over. Cozy!

Very accommodating; Staff was wonderful; The place was clear including inside and outside; Had partial ocean view - was beautiful; Very convenient and close to the shore and the stores. Enjoyed being in the garden and while having a breakfast. You feel you are in Zen garden.

the space, cleanliness, environment, amenities and helpful workers

the tv didn’t work in our room temporarily unfortunately, but we were accommodated very nicely

Great breakfast. Very accommodating for stay adjustments. Relaxing/Pretty patio area . Felt safe and secure. Very clean. Top notch service, organized. Ground transportation to/ from ferry. Felt at home and wanted to stay!

Small room. No elevator, but the staff carried luggage.

it had a lot of character. everything was designed carefully to reflect the culture and character of the island. we loved those details.

could be remodeled a bit to look newer but overall was great
