They don't offer room service. Our suite had a refrigerator but no microwave or coffee maker. The air conditioner in our room wasn't working. Their solution to this was to give us two bottles of water free. Two other suites were empty duing our stay and they failed to move us into one even though they're the same price.

We needed to book a last minute place in Avalon for a weekend in August. This was one of the few affordable places near “downtown” so we booked it. It is nothing fancy but not many places in Avalon are. Room was very small and a little dingy (but clean). No microwave or coffee maker but coffee, oatmeal, granola bars and fruit in the lobby in the morning. Mini-fridge was nice. The location is fantastic- walkable to everything. And the staff was amazing very friendly and helpful. Would recommend but just know you’re not getting the Four Seasons.

It’s not great, but you’re on Catalina.

Lots of steps. No elevator. Boo on a check in early policy. Zero amenities. Good location. Too expensive for what you get. The staff members were nice.

I loved the price, cleanliness, comfort, and size of the room. It’s quiet and convenient to the grocery store and main shopping area. Warning, there is a hill climb to get there, and no elevator on the property. There are 4 levels so don’t bring too big of a bag.

No Compassion For An Emergency

Unfortunately, my review must be poor as the management was unwilling to work with me during a family crisis that prevented me from going on my trip. When I tried calling to resolve the matter myself, no one answered the phone. And when Expedia intervened for me, they were not willing to refund me, give me credit, or work with me in any other way. It is such a shame that a company could have such a lack of human compassion during a family's most desperate moment. I will not be booking with this hotel again and will be informing friends and family that this is how I was treated.

A little bit run down, but we didn't come to the island to stay in our room. Poor wifi - TV didn't work. Staff was great! FYI - Continental breakfast is instant oatmeal packets and granola bars.

Expecting more for my money

You pay for the view. The hotel has ZERO amenities. The Wi-Fi is horrible. If you want or need anything you have to go to the front desk. No extra towels. Unless you go get them. The hotel has no elevator so you are climbing a ton is stairs if you get a room in a higher floor. And to top it off the furniture needs repair and the mattress needs to be replaced.
