A delightful stay

The ocean view was lovely. Short walk into town. Quiet and slept very well. We did not need the AC, the weather was perfect. The hotel is over 100 years old hotel and decorated old Victorian. The service was excellent and the rooms were very clean.

Room - No room service, no air conditioning, ceiling fan did not work, WIFI connection was slow and dropped out often, the TV remote did not work, the key card did not work half of the time, there were no amenities (no coffee or tea service in the room and no microwave to heat water or food), No coffee or water in the lobby, there is a low-income apartment building next to the hotel so any sea breeze you get smells like marijuana, the toilet did not flush properly. Their is a security door on the ground floor to keep non-guests from accessing the hotel rooms and patio area, but the staff props it open during the day for their convenience and does not shut it at night so anyone can access the hotel (a drunk bum came into the patio area making a bunch of noise on my first night at 1:00 am). I had to shut the gate myself every night after that. Service - What service? Like I said, there is no room service so if you stay more than two days you will have to hunt down a maid for clean towels. Maids only work between 9:30 am to 12:00 pm. This is important because the hotel does not staff the front desk. The hotel advertises the front desk is staffed from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm, but this is not true. Every time I went to the front desk, there was a sign that said "On Break...call (xxx) xxx-xxxx if it is an emergency". A number of the other guests complained about it as well. Location - No real view of the ocean, but the hotel is fairly close to the beach and shopping.

Good Value for Catalina Island. Rooms and hotel were clean. Location was only 5 min walk from the dock. No A/C in the rooms but that wasn't an issue during our stay.

These are quaint older SMALL rooms, but the location is hard to beat. It would be challenging for larger people in some rooms, but for one petite me it was great. The staff was extra kind and helpful. It's no bells and whistles, I don't think the TV even worked, and the water takes a while to heat up, no coffee or water or breakfast offered, but really for the cost it was great.

There is absolutely a dated charm to this spot - while aged, the entire property is clean, well cared for, and for the price, it's unbeatable in its location to downtown Avalon. Room was clean, there was hot water, and the bed was one of the most comfortable I've slept in. Absolutely recommend for a few nights on the island.

Old hotel but sufficient for a night in Avalon. They really need to add a coffee service at minimum.

Convenient location, walking distance to the main street. Very outdated, very small restroom, room didn’t look or smell very clean, missing standard toiletries, tv didn’t work. Front desk staff not very friendly, housekeeping staff very nice and helpful. It’s a climb uphill to hotel, if on a higher floor be aware there is no elevator.

Very unfortunate event

I couldn’t arrive to the hotel because when you booked they don’t explain that you need to book also the Ferry to get to your destination It was my first time booking hotel at the Island even I tried to contact them couple of times they didn’t answer I explained I couldn’t book Ferry for that day they’re not available they were booked already they just ignored my request for cancellation or get refunded I do even paid extra money for some sort of insurance they offered to prevent this out of your hand situation and for you not to lose your money it was a totally unacceptable situation and wrong decision towards getting my hotel money refunded back
