ordered two times with Expedia, 1st time I ordered with breakfast, but my client still was charged for breakfast, 2nd time still ordered with breakfast, but when checking in, my client was told they can not find the information regarding breakfast, after dispute, my client got a card for breakfast for one person only. Very bad experience.

The hotel is amazing with a beautiful reception area and foliage that makes you feel like you're walking through a jungle to get to your room. They will store your bags for you until check-in and we even got to check in early. I cant think of one thing I DIDN'T like about the hotel.

For this property you are paying for location. You can walk to the ferry and you are on the main street. Everything is very easy to access. However, the property is less than satisfactory. It is similar to a motel. There is no pool or hot tub. We woke up to no hot water which it was fixed within 30 minutes and our room was not cleaned. We found a hunk of broccoli on the floor when we checked it out.

The outdoor seating area was very inviting. The grounds around the hotel were very well manicured and maintained. The room was very clean and the hotel offered small bottles of shampoo, conditioner, soap and lotion. I prefer those over mass dispensers on the walls. The hotel was close to everything and reasonably priced. My husband and I would stay there again if going to Catalina Island.

Almost everything was great. However, we were disappointed that on Direct TV - MSNBC was replaced by Newsmax (a right wing TV channel). Who made that decision?

BEST PROPERTY on the island! I was here during Hurricane Hilary and the staff went ABOVE AND BEYOND at every turn. We really just got continuous rain here but they still hosted coffee/muffins in the morning in the lovely library and wine/cheese in the evening. Truly amazing Disney like customer service. PLEASE stay here next time you visit Avalon.
