to get started.

We Stayed for two nights at the Avalon Hotel and would rank it as one of the best hotel experiences we ever had. The entire facility was extremely clean and quiet. The king bed had a memory foam mattress that was the most comfortable bed. Our room had an ocean view with a semi-private balcony. There was evening wine and cheese in the garden area that is equipped with a fire pit. Breakfast featured lots of choices including fresh fruit, pastries and eggs. The rooftop area is very nice area and has a 360 degree view of the entire area. Kathleen and Rock as well as the rest of the staff treated us like we were their only guests.

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.

Byron

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!

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

- • Stayed 2 nights
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.
