From the moment we arrived there was always someone at the front desk with a smile and a friendly chat! The room was fantastic with very soft beds and huge bathroom! We especially loved the lighted mirror and huge tub! Would highly recommend the Avalon Hotel to everyone!

I book with Avalon Hotel to celebrate my fiancé s 60th birthday. The began communication with me right after booking. We arrived early and room was ready. They provided a nice bottle of sparkling champagne and a personalized card for my fiancé. Hotel and accommodation were perfect, clean and cozy. Breakfast was light and refreshing. Hotel was quiet and you could not hear guests and staff coming and going. We will definitely book with Avalon Hotel every time we go to the island.

The hotel was everything we hope for and more. The staff was extremely friendly, efficient and knowledgeable.
The room was clean and extremely enjoyed the balcony. Providing beach chairs was an excellent amenity.
I look forward to returning to the hotel on our next stay.

Construction going on was loud during the day, so it wasn't ideal but not too annoying. Balcony was big and ha good seating but ocean view was limited.
Included breakfast was outstanding.

We were on the 3rd floor. There was considerable noise from the air conditioning unit on the roof. It cycled on and off all night long making difficult to sleep.

Great Experience
Short trip from LA to Catalina. The hotel is convenient- located off the main pedestrian street so was very quiet. They have a lovely courtyard with Koi pond for breakfast. Rooftop deck with great 360 view.
Everything was clean and well maintained. Staff was friendly and professional. Would stay again.

Lovely boutique hotel. Charmingly decorated. Thoughtful touches. Extremely friendly and helpful staff. The view from the roof deck is spectacular, especially at night. Conveniently located. Voucher for taxi to and from the ferry is provided -- a really nice extra so you don't have to drag your suitcases over the cobblestone streets.

The staff was lovely the price was outrageous for what it was. For that kind of money at least a "real" breakfast and not frozen english muffins should be served.

Nice property and enjoyed our stay up until my wife’s necklace was forgotten in the room. They claimed not to be able to find it. Definitely our fault for leaving it, but low morales of staff to steal it.

Look no further stay here!
Incredible stay, came here celebrating girlfriend’s birthday. Stayed here 3 nights and also offered a discounted stranded rate after being stuck on island so 4 total nights.
The location is fabulous just up the hill on a Main Street in town. Staff was very welcoming and friendly throughout stay. The rooms are very clean, classy, bed is soft just melt right into it. The room is pretty big, I have read that on other hotel rooms on this island it can be a negative factor. The roof top deck is a great place to have a drink or just take in the views.
When we checked in I told them it’s my girlfriends birthday the following day. They provided champagne and a lovely card for a fantastic memory. It was a very nice surprise to come back to the hotel on her birthday and see that awaiting her.
I would definitely recommend staying here and would stay there again in a future visit.
We saw many of the the other hotels on the island and are satisfied that this is the best option on Catalina island.
