Shower Pressure was a 2 on a 10 scale. Other than that it was good. My girlfriend was woken up by another customer slamming doors. A coffee machine would be good.

Victorian Charm in Avalon

First time to Avalon. Loved this Victorian era hotel. Kept up very nicely. I had a 3rd floor room with a harbor view. Clawfoot tub but you can only use the shower function. No A/C, but there is a cieling fan, and the temperature was perfect outside, so keepi g the windows open was enough. It is on the opposite side of the harbor from where the dock is, and up a steep hill for a bit. Not a bad walk thought, but not ideal for an older person or handicap. Also no elevator. But for anyone else, it’s very clean and charming and has reproductions of old images of Catalina around and the staff is very helpful and welcoming. Check out is 11am, but if your boat leaves later, they will let you store your luggage in the lobby. Would definitely stay there again!

Be mindful there is no elevator and you might get a room on the third floor. Our room did not have a closet to hang clothes, but there were plenty of drawers. There is a nice balcony/porch to sit out on at each level.

No hot water

The water was out and I had to find another hotel immediately. I’m still waiting on my refund. They had time to let me know about the water earlier, they should have called me so I had more time to find another hotel. The last time I stayed at this hotel the tv was out the whole time. Never staying here again.

The property is a bit old (think cracking paint and such) but I really enjoyed it. The staff is great and my room was so quiet and peaceful. I had a water view! The area is lovely and safe, I felt comfortable my entire stay and wish I could have stayed longer. I’ll be back! Thanks Mona, Nancy and Maria for a nice relaxing stay!

This place was great! Great location just about a block from the shore, great value for the money. Staff was friendly and attentive. We had an issue with our door and there is not staff at the desk after hours. We called the emergency number and someone came down to let us in IMMEDIATELY. I was super impressed. The building itself has quant historic charm. My only complaints would be the bed and pillows aren’t the best ( which if they aren’t yours from home they won’t feel right) and the walls are thin ( comes with the territory of old building). Overall great experience.

I’ve come here for 20 years.

I’ve stayed at this hotel off and on for close to 20 years and while it was in need of a renovation when I was younger, it is quite lovely now! Everything was spotless, bed was comfy, good room over all. Front desk ladies were friendly. I believe the sweet owner (?) was there on the porch every morning and waved us goodbye and to have a nice day. I love this place cuz the prices are affordable and the hotel itself is historic and has pleasant accommodations. Will most likely stay here next time we come!

A low price facility in an extremely expensive location. There are no glasses or cups available. There is a microwave near the lobby. So if you want coffee or tea in the morning, bring your cup and your supplies.
