The room was clean and very comfortable.
Especially liked the counter space outside the bathroom area.
Having the Naughty Fox cafe and bar attached was very convenient.
Yes I would definitely stay here again.
We Loved the location, roof top terrace for early am coffee and the restaurant/bar attached was yummy too! Rooms were clean and comfortable, we plan to return for sure!!
This was a gorgeous spot, with excellent views! Everything was very walkable, and we had fun cruising around on the complementary beach cruisers (bikes) provided by the hotel. The restaurant was delish! Loved the Ahi Nachos and drinks. Very comfortable, would definitely stay there again!
This is the only place I stay when I go to Catalina Island. I recently booked a stay for my parents for their anniversary and they had no issues checking in. The staff are very helpful and polite and it’s located in one of the most convenient spots on the island. 11/10 would recommend
Great stay! We arrived early and they allowed us to leave our bags behind. We also enjoyed use of the complimentary bikes to enjoy Lover's Cove! Staff were all very friendly and we enjoyed a great lunch at The Naught Fox downstairs
The hotel was fantastic. Great location with beautiful views. The staff was very kind and helpful. The room was clean and well kept. Bed was very comfy and air condition worked well. I would stay here again when we go back to Catalina.
The location is great. The bar is wonderful. Free bikes and chairs!

This is a great place to stay and explore the island! Staff are great, air conditioning kept us cool, a great spot to be able to walk around an enjoy Avalon.
The hotel's location is great, it's very clean, the staff is polite and does their job quickly, the part of the hotel that I found great was its silence, and the rooms were very clean.
Location was top tier. Very walkable to all of the prime spots that you would want to see in Avalon. The bar/restaurant that is in the hotel is also a nice amenity that you can enjoy, facing the beach side.
