Booked the trip on a whim. Just got back yesterday. Hotel Metropole is the spot to stay. Great room, everything was new and up to date. Roof top jacuzzi over looking the water was a plus! Everybody was really nice. We didn't ask for much but when we did the staff was on it. My boyfriend went fishing I got... More

I wish there was a rating worse than Terrible for this dishonest, insulting, and non accomodating hotel. After reading other reviews on here where the hotel manager "catalinagregg" responds to reviews insinuating that the guests were not being completely truthful I have attached pictures so caatalinagregg and everyone else who reads this review will know who is telling the truth...

My family of 6 stayed at the hotel for 4 days. Not only was I impressed with the view and the staff, but I found this hotel to be clean and child friendly. This hotel is in the center of everything! We are already planning our next trip to Catalina, and wouldn't think of staying anywhere else. Thx Hotel Metropole... More

Hotel Metropole is the place to stay when visiting Avalon! From the time you step into the lobby, you are treated like family. I have stayed here many times, and have loved every room I was in. If you want to treat yourself, book the Beach House or a suite! In the morning, try a scone with the other organic... More

Not only was the staff friendly curteous and helpful, the location puts you right in the heart of Avalon...walking distance to everything. Massage right downstairs and the jacuzzi overlooking the ocean was a really nice treat!

My family and I have been coming to Catlina for at least twice a year for the last 10 yrs. We've stayed in many different hotels, houses,condos and one apartment, with many different price ranges. I've always looked for the best package deal on the internet. Some look very good on the web, but quite different in person. I think... More

Me and my boyfriend came over for a little getaway over the weekend and decided to stay at the Hotel Metropole.( I had stayed here before a while back). We decided to book a suite which over looks the beautiful bay and I'm glad we did. It had such a great view of the harbor! The room was very neat... More

It opens up directly to the hotel lobby & street. You hear all of the other guests comings and goings. Not at all ideal for a romantic getaway. Highly disappointed that the staff has done absolutely nothing to improve our accommodations, even after we requested another room. Was really looking forward to this, and I'm sad to have to tell...

Hotel Metropole is located right on Avalon's main boardwalk in the Metropole plaza, which also includes an arcade and a few little restaurants and shops. Our room was nice - comfortable bed, fireplace, good water pressure in the shower. The only downside was that all the windows in our room were blocked by planters, so we had no view, but... More
