This was our first trip to Catalina. I checked TripAdvisor before making reservations (7 months ago) and found Inn on Mt. Ada to be #1. I wondered if it could really be worth the price. I wondered if all the reviews had been written by far wealthier people than us. But this was an anniversary trip, only 2 nights, so... More

We made reservations for lunch since we had gotten married at the Inn 22 years ago. Eating there brought back such wonderful memories. Our view from the balcony was breath taking. The lunch includes endless mimosas,wine or beer. We enjoyed a few sitting in the sun, overlooking the bay. We had the Mexican speciality for lunch and it was yummy... More

This was by far one of the best experiences we've had and have traveled all over the world. The attention to detail from pick up to departure was first class. The Bethany Glen, champagne, horsdouvre's, lunch ..we loved it all. Thank you Marlene, Michael and all the staff. What a fabulous home!

The only downside to this beautiful hotel is that you are tempted to stay there all day instead of seeing the island! The breakfasts and lunches are wonderful and even the complimentary cocktail hour food dishes are enough to fill you up for dinner! Not to mention the "Butler's Pantry" that each guest has access to which included free beer,... More

My husband and I came here while I was 7 months pregnant, and the staff treated us like we were the President and 1st lady! We had access to unlimited Ice Cream Floats, the breakfast and lunch were divine, and piano was a dream to play. Our personal golf cart got us wherever we wanted to go in Avalon! We... More

The Inn on Mt. Ada offers an escape into a bygone day of luxury a la the Wrigley family, with all of the modern day conveniences and gracious service coupled with a seaside village like Avalon, Santa Catalina, California. It's as if you've been invited to spend the weekend with the Wrigley's in their mansion and they were called away... More

Hubby and I splurged on a weekend at the Inn during a trip to the island this fall to run in an annual race held in Catalina. We'd eyed the Inn, set majestically at the top of a hill, during one our previous visits to the island and dreamed of staying there. The visit surpassed our wildest expectations and has... More

We've been here before, and it remains the best on Catalina. Good company, good food, great views, impressive inn. Not cheap, but worth the price considering the full use of a golf cart, and two large means.

Yep... just visited Mt. Ada again and I am happy to report that some things do not change... thank goodness! What a beautiful place to stay... great history, great views, great food (be sure to try the breakfast & lunch specials made by Carmen & Martha... yummy)... and don't even think about dieting. There's always freshly baked cookies/brownies and ice... More
