Ratings and Reviews of The Avalon Hotel on Catalina Island

9.6 user rating

Incredible stay, came here celebrating girlfriend’s birthday. Stayed here 3 nights and also offered a discounted stranded rate after being stuck on island so 4 total nights. The location is fabulous just up the hill on a Main Street in town. Staff was very welcoming and friendly throughout stay. The rooms are very clean, classy, bed is soft just melt right into it. The room is pretty big, I have read that on other hotel rooms on this island it can be a negative factor. The roof top deck is a great place to have a drink or just take in the views. When we checked in I told them it’s my girlfriends birthday the following day. They provided champagne and a lovely card for a fantastic memory. It was a very nice surprise to come back to the hotel on her birthday and see that awaiting her. I would definitely recommend staying here and would stay there again in a future visit. We saw many of the the other hotels on the island and are satisfied that this is the best option on Catalina island.
It was absolutely the best hotel service I had ever seen. When I checked in, the front desk lady gave me a warm welcome with a genuine smile. She walked us to our room and explained everything to us. She was extremely friendly all the time during our stay. During our breakfast, my wife asked the lady for a special sauce and the lady went to the neighbor restaurant to get that sauce for us. Is it amazing!
Great customer service! They called me in advance to make sure any accommodation would be addressed. Voucher to and from the hotel via taxi. Water and Snapple were provided everyday. Coffee and fruits in the lobby were fresh and available for free. Great rooftop access to view the scenic island. All around ...this place is a gem!
