Very Good

My mirror in room was cracked, no room service ,top door lock was broken, came to fix it and it broke again. At 3am heater in room made banging sound old heater system. Erica at front office was a nice person but her hands were tied. Nothing she could do but send info to offsite mangager who never responded back to me. We could leave because it was the last hotel avail for jazz festival weekend. We will never stay there again.
What’s a wonderful hotel, Erica and Amanda were absolutely a pleasure to talk to and so helpful. This is the only hotel I stay out in Catalina and they make it feel like home. Charlie the owner; keep it up!
conveniently located, can walk to all shops and restaurants easily. continental breakfast not much, but at least had coffee. Bed very comfortable and room quiet, but small.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
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.
We have loved Catalina with the major help of this hotel, friendly staff, clean, and honestly a very homely feel. Thank you for making our vacation great and we will be staying with you again very soon
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.
No room cleaning service during stay, no elevator endless stairs to get to room, otherwise Ok

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.
It would have been nice to have regular house keepers. Also of the WiFi was better it would have been nice. Overall it was clean and the staff was great !
