It’s a great hotel in theory but once here it was a disappointment. No one answers the phone as we inquired about early check-in. The room was poorly designed and only the bare minimum of amenities. And they won’t store your luggage once you check out. They have a lot of nerve charging what they do.

Not even close to what I expected

Our room was between the front door and the elevator. The staff talked about as loud as the guests through most of the night and beginning again in the early morning. The bathroom has long black hair on the floor, tub and basin. The ring was pretty bare bones and quite small. For the price we paid, we had higher expectations. When I complained to the front desk I was told, "I'll let my boss know." That was the last thing we heard from anyone at the hotel. The only positive I can take away from the experience is, are least it was only for one night.

I recommend Hotel St. Lauren to everyone. Old world architecture, you are staying in a hotel that is part of Santa Catalina’s history. The roof top terrace has one of the best views of Avalon and the surrounding area. The staff were very helpful and friendly.

I want to be very clear the staff was wonderful. The building overall needs to be remodeled and updated. Our room had sparse and rickety old furniture. The room did not have in room coffee, microwave or a refrigerator. Our room had an ocean view deck which was beautiful. So the price we paid for the room was not for the room as we came to understand, but it was for the view we had. The outlets did not have multiple uses and there was only a couple of outlets in the room itself so if you’re coming with your cell phone, smart watch or anything else you might want to bring a power strip. I understand Catalina is a small island and you’re going there to visit the island and enjoy it. You should also be able to come back to a room that gives you the same enjoyable experience and this did not.

The staff were amazing, the building was run down. That is an old picture of a balcony. The only balcony is one shared on the floor. The A/C hardly worked, luckily the ceiling fan did, with what little the windows open. Just shabby and hard to get ICE after certain hours
