I wish they offered a golf cart pick up from the ferry for you and your luggage. The rooms are TINY and could barely for suitcases and walk to bathroom. Very pretty hotel and convenience to everything around.

Really easy to get to (of course, Avalon is tiny), with a central location in town. Room was kind of noisy - lots of drain/water/something noise from the sink, beeping/buzzing outside the window all day long, and the AC in the room ran constantly (at least the fan part). It was clean, as comfortable as could be expected, and although small, normal size for a room on Catalina. The front desk, and everyone we interacted with was EXCEPTIONALLY helpful and friendly.

AMAZING, best hotel we have ever stayed at. Front desk let us check in a little early selected a room with a view since it was our honeymoon and had a beautifully decorated room. It was a bit smaller, but since we were visiting Catalina Island and had much to do, we weren’t really in the room to need all that space anyways. The best thing about this hotel is that we were able to have our luggage sent ahead after storing it to meet us on the dock when we left on the Catalina flyer.

Excellent Hotel and staff. Was a wonderful experience and will definitely stay there again on our next trip to Catalina. The property was well-maintained, in excellent condition, and decorated exceptionally well. Rooms are small but very classy and comfortable. The staff was very friendly, accommodating, and outgoing. Will be back!
