Air conditioner wasn't working upon arrival, worked on it for 1/2 hour, then waited on staff's "lunch" break to get over for an hour, then finally texted office number with issue, told "be there in a minute, waited another half hour for staff to show up, took yet another 1/2 hour to get running. Woke up Sunday morning to dead cockroach on bathroom floor. but pretty nice overall.

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

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.

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.
