"Like the fact that hotel is feet away from the beach and walking distance to all the dining and shopping stores. Just FYI no elevator. Daniel at the front desk is great"

"Great place to stay for the value. Rooms were very clean and spacious and was a great deal. Centrally located and easy access to just about anything you could want to do. Service was also very good, we dropped our bags off at the check in when we arrived and our room was available 2 hours early for no additional charge. Was also nice to be a block off the main strip so it was quiet and peaceful at night without trying to sleep through music blasting at midnight. Would highly recommend"

We were there in the slow season. Highly recommend. Make sure to go to visit the Casino (not a gambling venue!). The architecture and history is awe inspiring. If there is a movie playing, try to go. It is a different experience.

Avalon is a real gem. We love that there are no corporations at all so everything is botique or independent. The food is excellent and affordable too. There's much to do on the island so staying more than 1 night is a must.

My 1st time there it was so fun. They have an island uber called circuit which was fantastic because im not the best with hills. All the restaurants were delicious and customer service was fantastic. We did an interior tour of the island so fun.

We weren't able to find trails which I'd assumed would be easily accessible. Go directly to the Conservancy tour office to get a hiking permit, cheaper transport to the trails, and maps. The Eco Tour was really informative, just very expensive.

Definitely my happy place! A great place to recharge and enjoy the calmness in paradise. Everyone here on this Island was extremely friendly
"Hotel and room experience were great! Staff were very friendly and accommodating. Room cleanliness and appearance was nice and appealing. Love that it provides a shuttle to the two popular spots. Even the drivers were really helpful and friendly. 15 minute walk to the plaza area, which is like your downtown area. Easier to walk to the plaza than it is to come back due to it being up hill! Highly recommend this hotel and would stay here again."
"This was a perfect small hotel to stay at during our visit to Catalina Island. It was in a great location. The room and bathroom were small, but we did not require much room. Breakfast was provided which was enough variety with eggs, sausage, bagels, cereal, coffee/tea. There was also wine and cheese offered in the afternoon. The best part was the rooftop lounge area which we used to hang out during different times of the day. It has a spectacular view and is a quiet space to relax and enjoy. The staff was helpful, friendly and attentive. On the day we checked out, our ferry wasn’t leaving until later in the day and we were able to continue using the hotel as our “home base” to change, use the restroom, get water and coffee. This was super helpful so we could enjoy the day. Overall, our experience was wonderful and we would stay there again. "
