It was my first time to Catalina, my family and I were there to celibrate my dad and my birthdays and we had an amazing time!! The hotel blew away any expectations I had of it. The rooms were beautiful with amazing views and the mattress was the best I had ever slept on. The hotel is beautifully landscaped and... More

This hotel was just wonderfully beautiful and homey. The outside courtyard is beautiful, breakfast was a wonderful event! We had 3 rooms on the 3rd floor and they opened up the patio for us. We spent many a lovely evening sitting on the balcony together and watching the ocean. We would all stay there again in a sec!

I can see why this charming boutique hotel is #1 on Trip Advisor. We stayed for two nights prior to the Memorial Day weekend, and this place provided a real retreat to the hustle and bustle of the downtown area. The Craftsman decor really brings an earthy vibe to the place. Look at their photo album and you can see... More

The hotel staff is wonderful the location is excellent! This is one of the nicest hotels on Catalina especially for the price! The road it's on Whittley has a lot of golf cart traffic so the rooms off the road can be noisy of your windows and balcony door is open. But really who cares! The place is awesome

My husband and I just stayed here for 2 nights. We had a great time! We arrived early Friday morning and was lucky to have early check in. The staff was very friendly! The bed was comfortable and the room was a good size. They provide free water and drinks (fridge, microwave). We had free wine and Cheese that night... More

We had a great time. Laurie and the hotel staff could not have been nicer or more helpful. The rooms are very nice and beautifully kept.

My husband, a SoCal native, had never visited Catalina Island so for his Birthday I booked two nights at the Avalon Hotel. What a wonderful choice that was. The staff there is the most welcoming and accomodating of any hotel we have ever stayed in. We cannot say enough about the rooms. Ellegant comes close. And it had all the... More

My husband and I haven't been to Catalina in about 10 years so we were due for a visit. I checked trip advisor and discovered that The Avalon Hotel was number one. After reading all the reviews and calling for a reservation we decided on room 205. Although 205 didn't have a balcony it was less expensive, a slightly larger... More

We spent three relaxing, comfortable nights here and we hated to leave! Our room was large and comfortable with view of the ocean. A great continental breakfast served in a beautiful garden courtyard complete with a koi pond, fire pit, and active hummingbird feeders. Terrific desk staff too, especially Cindy. Very convenient location to harbor. Loved the tangerine sage lotions... More
