The Avalon Hotel in Catalina Island

We loved this hotel! It is very nicely located and has so much charm! The staff is wonderful and very helpful. Evelyn is the best! She’s very knowledgeable and eager to help! She is truly a gem! Our room 302, was very nice, and our balcony was much larger than I expected, with a nice view of the mountain and partial ocean view.

This property is the absolute BEST! From the friendly staff to the comfortable beds and detailed craftsmanship of the hotel, This hotel is a definite "Must Do" if you're visiting the island. Mere words can't describe the beauty, cleanliness, and great accommodations. This hotel 'is' part of the Catalina Island experience.

We just came home from our 2 night stay in Avalon hotel in room 206. Best place to stay. Very homy, truly a gem. Staff are wonderful. Evelyn is very pleasant. I did not expect the room to be that great with the perfect ocean view. The restroom is amazing plus they added a mini office. We would definitely come back.

We found the Avalon a fantastic place to stay, with the location in the heart of Avalon. Room was great, with a nice view from the balcony. The Extras: robes, chairs, beach ,bag, towels, sea salt scrub, wine glasses and more were a nice touch. The roof top was gorgeous and nice way to have a bottle of wine. The continental breakfast was lovely and set up in the beautiful courtyard. All staff was super friendly and accommodating. I am unclear how my northeast life led us to Catalina Island, but happy we found the island and this gem of a hotel to stay.

Once you step through the doors, you are immediately in your own little world. It’s easy for resorts to feel too commercial, but the Avalon was a local-feeling getaway with many little nooks and crannies to explore. The grounds are well-kept and the service staff is top tier. When you’re ready to go out into the world, there are many other restaurants, bars, and shops in walking distance. Would stay here again in a heartbeat!

First time to stay at this property after multiple trips to Catalina. This is our place for future visits. Central enough for convenience but enough off the main drag for it to be quiet and peaceful. They do lots of little things to make it seem very homey and welcoming.

The staff was very accommodating and friendly. The rooms were immaculately, clean and comfortable. They incorporate local tile into many elements around the hotel. The continental breakfast was lovely and served on their beautiful patio.

Just a perfect place to stay when visiting Catalina. The location was ideal, the rooms lovely and the staff went above and beyond to make our stay pleasant and easy. Breakfast in the garden by the koi pond was just right; guidance for good restaurants spot-on and all the little things-like a voucher for the cab from the ferry or sparkling water after a long day of touring--felt seamless.Look forward to going back!

Best hotel in town. Friendly and helpful staff. Great location. Comfy beds and pillows. Super view to harbor. Great breakfast and a roof deck that has the best views in town. They were very helpful getting us to and from the ferry and guiding usbto restaurants and our activities
