Do not pay market rate!!!

Do not pay full price or even close to it for this place. TV did not work. It had to be fixed each day but cable pixelated in the evening. WiFi was too weak to stream anything. I know, who goes to Catalina to watch TV? Well in the evenings after visiting bars and restaurants you may want to do that. Anyway the toilet stuck, the bathroom fan did not work, many plug ins did not work and were old. I moved bed to plug in cpap and saw lots of dust bunnies and a few stains. So here’s the good stuff: the kitchen had nice plates and glasses, the decor was nice, the cleaning staff was nice. The owner/manager was not to be bothered and thought a sign on the registration window excused him from being attentive and of course it is your fault if you do not read the sign. He is busy fixing up the place. Just no this is not worth the money you pay. I’m ok with all the problems if I was paying a discounted rate or was compensated for trouble. But no offer was given and when suggested they did not reply. Please stay somewhere else b

Property is in the top!!! We had to walk uphill! No front desk, my room smelled, the kitchen sponge was not new it was smelly. The Fridge made a loud noise in the middle of the night. I didn’t requested a room with kitchen and it was given to us.

It was a perfect spot that kept you close to downtown and walkable to everything but was tucked up away on the hill where it was still quiet to go home to. That being said, if you do not wish to use the public transportation to go back home be prepared to walk up the hill it is a little steep. The hotel was nice and cozy it had a comfy bed, great AC and water pressure. The wifi was also strong and steady. Our unit was upstairs; it was not one of the ones with the kitchen in it, however, we did have a mini fridge and a microwave and that was still super helpful as we were still able to get some groceries from the local Vons. We would stay here again as the price point was excellent for the amenities we had l.

Five minutes from main strip; however, you have to get back up the hill to get to this hotel. Five minute walk down, 10 minute steep walk back. Food options are good, lots of great restaurants to pick from.

We were supposed to just leave our luggages and was able to check in early so that was a relief! Staff was great! Room had a fridge, microwave, stove, pots and pans, plates and cups, kcups for coffee, and a TV. Outside area has a grilling station and cute hangout spot. It was also clean! Would come back here again.

Our check in didn't come over from hotels.com, but the staff made up for it - able to accommodate us last minute in a way that worked for us (or offer to find another room at another hotel). Up the hill a little bit - amazingly quiet.

Ehhh

The bathroom door would get stuck so it was loud if anyone used the restroom while asleep. It was an average room for the price we paid.

We stayed two nights at this property. It was one of the better priced hotels in Avalon. The room was simple but clean. Nothing extravagant or up to date. The bathroom could use updating. Overall it was a decent place to sleep at night. It’s up a steep hill so you need to be in decent physical shape to walk up the street.

If you are looking for a luxury hotel this is not the place. Unfortunately our stay was not worth the price due to one of the showers not working and unable to run both of the upstairs a/c’s without the breaker tripping. The room was very dusty and not very clean. Everything was very run down. Although it was not in the best condition our family made the best of our trip and we did enjoy the location of the hotel although you do have a big hill to walk up. Also the beds were pretty comfortable and the housekeeper was helpful. The tv options were a nice accommodation as well. If you are comfortable with a more of a hole in the wall beach hotel this is your place.
