I like that they upgraded our room. What I didn’t like was one of the air conditioners in the living room area didn’t work. But we really didn’t need it because we didn’t sit in there.

The hotel is located above the Catalina island museum and is a very quiet place. The staff was very friendly and professional. The hotel has a continental breakfast which was very nice. The only downside was the ice machine and beverage machine was out of order during my stay.

They don't offer room service. Our suite had a refrigerator but no microwave or coffee maker. The air conditioner in our room wasn't working. Their solution to this was to give us two bottles of water free. Two other suites were empty duing our stay and they failed to move us into one even though they're the same price.

We needed to book a last minute place in Avalon for a weekend in August. This was one of the few affordable places near “downtown” so we booked it. It is nothing fancy but not many places in Avalon are. Room was very small and a little dingy (but clean). No microwave or coffee maker but coffee, oatmeal, granola bars and fruit in the lobby in the morning. Mini-fridge was nice. The location is fantastic- walkable to everything. And the staff was amazing very friendly and helpful. Would recommend but just know you’re not getting the Four Seasons.

It’s not great, but you’re on Catalina.

Lots of steps. No elevator. Boo on a check in early policy. Zero amenities. Good location. Too expensive for what you get. The staff members were nice.
