1st Time Stay Here
We've been to Avalon several times but this was our first stay at Catalina Island Inn. It was a nice stay. Hotel is clean and comfortable and located close to shops, beach and food choices. We had a first floor room with private patio. It was nice to have our own outdoor space. I would probably spend a bit more for one of the higher rooms with a balcony next time. All in all, I would recommend as a nice place to stay when visiting Avalon.

Great location and view.
The room was great and the view was perfect. We had a view of the harbor. While I understand the hotel is old, everything in the room appeared to be fairly new except the carpet. Very old and dirty.

Basic hotel right off the main drag in Avalon. We stayed in the family room-perfectly serviceable but nothing to write home about. AC is strong and cold, which is a plus in the summer. There was a thin layer of dust all over the bathroom and the shower curtain did nothing to stop water from draining out right onto the bathroom floor, which can get a little treacherous with 4 people showering in the same tiny space
