I wish they offered a golf cart pick up from the ferry for you and your luggage. The rooms are TINY and could barely for suitcases and walk to bathroom. Very pretty hotel and convenience to everything around.

The hotel looks new and modern. I love how it stands out from the older cottages and inns on the island. Its location is at the center at Avalon downtown. It’s close to the ferry, casino, all the restaurants on Crescent. The staff are friendly and helpful. The room isn’t big but it has everything we needed. I also love the room design; like the bubbly light at the sink, night light are soft, shower wall has a line of sea themed decoration around. We stayed on the third floor and we didn’t hear any noises. The town gets pretty quiet in the early evening on a Wednesday. The best part is, the hotel has luggage service where you can drop off your bags at the ferry terminal, they transport your bags to the hotel where you pick up when you check in. The same when you Check out, you drop off at the front desk and pick up when you are at the terminal. Super convenient. I’d stay here for this sole reason! We had a great time here.

Really easy to get to (of course, Avalon is tiny), with a central location in town. Room was kind of noisy - lots of drain/water/something noise from the sink, beeping/buzzing outside the window all day long, and the AC in the room ran constantly (at least the fan part). It was clean, as comfortable as could be expected, and although small, normal size for a room on Catalina. The front desk, and everyone we interacted with was EXCEPTIONALLY helpful and friendly.

We experienced a mix-up with our room assignment, but David provided excellent customer service and quickly gave us the room we had requested—with a stunning view of the ocean! The location of this hotel is its best asset. It’s within 10 minutes of the Catalina Express dock, grocery store, restaurants, and charming specialty shops. That said, we were a bit disappointed with some aspects of the room: no iron or ironing board, no microwave, and the room itself was quite small with very little space to move around. The flooring is also due for an update. Overall, the ocean view and convenient location were the highlights of our stay, and David’s outstanding service made a positive difference.

Very nice hotel with a friendly front desk staff. Everything was clean and high quality. Excellent location. BUT the room was sooooooo small. Like barely get around the beds small. It was ok for one night—if staying longer I would need a larger space and at this nightly price point I’ll stay elsewhere next time.
