Top Catalina Island Hotel Reviews

Casa Avalon Hotel

8/10 Good

"The hotel staff are nice and helpful. The office provides complimentary water and coffee while open, in addition to offering a shared storage space for your luggage after checkout so you can still enjoy sites before your departure. The hotel itself is adequate, the rooms are clean and smell like cleaning products, the water pressure and shower is great and the shampoo, conditioner and body wash dispenser is thoughtful. We actually had two rooms the evening of our stay and they both had TVs. The cell service is non existent even with the complimentary WiFi our phones remained in SOS so we couldn’t make calls. The bed frames in both rooms were very old, in fact the reason we had a second room was because the bed frame in our ocean view room completely broke when my very tall, but thin husband sat down to watch tv. Fortunately the night keeper was very helpful and issued us another room, unfortunately it was not the ocean view we paid for but we were appreciative non the less. Despite the random instance our stay was comfortable and we’d stay again if need be."

"The hotel is very nice and well maintained. My only comments (not complaints) are that we couldn't get our safe open, but the staff (Hector) was very helpful solving the problem; and I noticed the carpet needs cleaning in a few areas. The hotel and bistro staff are very friendly and helpful! The room was clean and the A/C worked great (which is needed in this heatwave!). We were in walking distance of everything; and we absolutely loved the island. . . lots of great restaurants and shops. We'll be back!!"
