My husband and I spent our 1 year anniversary in Catalina and booked the Mac Rae for 2 nights stay. It was among the cheaper hotels in the area but we didn’t expect to stay in the room very often so we booked it. The room was not bad but I prefer a tad bit more amenities. The room was... More

A group of us stayed in September for a birthday celebration, we picked Hotel Mac Rae since it was one of few hotels that offered one-night bookings. Everyone loved the location; within walking distance of everything on the main side of the island. The courtyard was a perfect gathering place; we even managed to play few rounds of flip cup... More

My husband and I stayed here last month. It is the first time we have stayed at a hotelright on Front street. It was very clean, close to everything and I loved the little court yard in the center. The court yard is quiet and a great place to have your morning coffee and an afternoon bottle of wine. We... More

Finding the hotel was no problem since it's right in the middle of the main drag along the beach. A nice, well lit stairway led us up to a courtyard and the... More

I took my wife and 10 year old son here for a one night stay in mid july. We did not go to catalina island expecting a 5 star hotel, we wanted a clean comfortable room close to the beach for a competitive price. This hotel was perfect, The property was clean and well maintained, the room was very clean... More

However, the price is right for how conveniently located it is and we're never in the room much when we're in Catalina. On our second stay last week we checked into our room only... More

This hotel was just what I expected. Basic but cute with small, clean rooms, a charming courtyard and great in town location. Nothing fancy but I would stay again!

This was a nice, clean little room. It is a older hotel but that gave it charm. the room is not big but when you are in Avalon you do not just sit in your room anyway. It is just for sleeping! You have to go upstairs to get to the hotel so may not be good for anyone who... More

We stayed there this past weekend. I live in San Diego, and travel to Catalina often. The location of this hotel can't be beat when it comes to being close to the beach, shops and restaurants. The downside was the noise and lack of sleep because of it. We stayed in one of the ocean front rooms, and the noise... More
