I have stayed twice at this lovely hotel , and hope I can visit again, when the opportunity comes . It has an atmosphere that can't be put into words. It is such a relaxing and calming place to be in. It has it's own pace, which is just right. The views and the joy of being at this hotel... More

I wouldn't change anything about the Zane Gray Hotel. I guess you could say it is a little rustic, but after all, it is a pueblo built over 75 years ago, so it's supposed to be like that. Lots of genuine character (not the phony theme park kind), large rooms, very clean and comfortable, windows that actually open (!). I... More

This place smells like old socks left in your attic for last 100 years. Breakfast? Make sure to bring your own food because you will be disappointed by the 2 pieces of old bread and jelly that is provided. Also, the cats seem to be happy here but not me. Stay away, unless you enjoy staying in a smelly musty... More

During my trip, I needed to stay one night in a cheap hotel and I booked here. I think it has all the basic amenities and some advantages: good view (it is on a hill, so expect to walk up for a couple of blocks), continental breakfast, nice and charming ambiance and spacious rooms. Couple of warnings: No TV and... More

Tripadvisor reviews led us to this quiet hotel for a night. The surprise was the sense of history in the whole town. Wrigley, of the chewing gum, really established the village. The name Avalon was their choice. But I digress, the hotel (houses of Zane Grey and his brother), overlooks the whole village, is quiet and neat. Don't expect modern... More

This hotel had what I wanted, quiet, sun decks, view, flowers and budget price. ( $75 mid week.) What I hadn't expected was there was NO shuttle, as advertised, and the uphill walk was an exausting 25 minutes. They do offer a free shuttle to and from the boat upon arrivel and departure, but NONE to get to Avalon for... More

sure, the hotel is small, the rooms are tiny and old - but the views are all worth it! compared to the other expensive hotels "downtown" this is a little jewel. you have a terrasse, pool, enough space to relax outdoors. also fridge, coffee making facilities, microwave, so no problem to be self-sustaining. would go there again next time!

What an amazing place! The view from the hill top overlooking the Pacific, Avalon and LA is incredible. This is where Zane Grey lived and so it appeals to visitors who want to step back in time and relive California before it was over developed. A great place to relax and unwind...Close enough to Avalon to enjoy all it has... More
