to get started.

They provide very nice breakfasts and had an excellent wine and cheese event on Friday evening. The room with refrigerator, microwave, vault for valuables exceeded my expectations. The balcony with its chairs provided a very beautiful view of the bay. Upstairs on the 4th floor, the deck had an amazing view of the ocean, bay and hillside. But probably the best selling point of the hotel was the staff (Laurie, Evelyn and Rock). Very professional and friendly staff.

Beautiful garden courtyard with fountain and koi pond was perfect for happy hour, breakfast and relaxing. Communication in advance of our arrival was responsive and helpful. Checkin was quick and smooth. Overall, the staff was perfect! Thanks to all for making our stay a delightful experience in a true Old California hotel.

The hotel is very conducive and homey to stay and it’s in the heart of the city. Easy access to all our needs from shopping to activities or rides to weekend night life with karaoke night.

The hotel offers free Taxi vouchers to and from the Catalina Express. We arrived on Friday night and there was a wine and cheese offering in the courtyard, only had to bring the wine glasses the hotel provides in the room. When check out came on Sunday, the hotel checks your luggage so you can still enjoy Avalon until you catch the boat back to your home destination!

Everything was super clean and well thought out. We were given everything we needed for the bathroom, complimentary pop corn and snacks, robes, and most importantly a beach bag. The rooftop terrace is beautiful.

They had a clitch in the reentry to the hotel after the door was locked at night. We had to wait outside for 30 minutes, before the night manager let us in. ( he was asleep and was very grumpy)It only happened once and the staff really tried to go out of their way to make it right.
The hotel is in a great location. It is beautifully maintained and decorated true to its craftsman style. Wonderful little courtyard to enjoy continental breakfast. There is 24 hr coffee and tea station, plus snacks for you. We had a balcony room and I loved sitting out there. Evelyn is such an asset as one of The Avalon's staff. She even insisted on carrying my luggage up the 3 flights of stairs to our room. (no elevator) I dont care about the stairs it's an amazing place to stay. They gave us a great bottle of wine for our Anniversary, which we enjoyed on the beautiful rooftop terrace. We will stay there again.

We had a room on the first floor facing the street which was kind of loud from all the carts, but can’t complain because the view of the ocean was beautiful, maybe if we were on the upper levels it wouldn’t have been so loud, still loved our room..
I loved the rooftop deck, we went up every evening and enjoyed the view.

“See commentary above”
- • Leisure trip

A lower price near $300/night. And some consideration for using the rooftop facility for wine & cheese.
The breakfast was adequate for a continental-style breakfast in the back courtyard. We liked the location of Avalon Hotel which is somewhat away from the hustle and bustle of the city of Avalon and all the tourists. We are not sure that the price (about $400/night) was on point since the building is somewhat aged, the rooms aged (our air conditioner leaked), and the hotel quite small. The hotel is also located right next to a house would could properly be described as a dump.

At the hotel on our first night the shower was so slow and only to find out there is an adjusted to make it like a strong shower however you call it. And on our last night my husband got sick into his stomach and we tried the telephone inside the room and it was not functioning didn’t know where and who to call we have to walk a little further, found a street worker but speaking Spanish only and refused to take us to the clinic. We still look around and here comes a kind couple who approach us and we told them we need to go to the clinic/hospital for emergency. And we walked for s short while and the husband took his golf cart and brought us to the mini hospital. Just a precaution if possible don’t be sick from midnight until about 8:00am because there is no transportation available.
The hotel is very conducive and homey to stay and it’s in the heart of the city. Easy access to all our needs from shopping to activities or rides to weekend night life with karaoke night.
