Guest Reviews
- Paul (10/5): - Staff was great and early check in was amazing
- Corey (8/5): - Clean room, tv didn’t work.
- Beth (10/5): Great Stay! I felt like family. - Not too scenic but the ambience of Catalina and her hospitality were impeccable.
- Cristina (10/5): - The beds are ridiculously comfortable
- Paul (8/5): - Close to the harbor. Within walking distance of most everything to see. Good value/
- Ester (10/5): - Yea I did shops walkable ocean view.
- Annie (10/5): A delightful stay - The ocean view was lovely. Short walk into town. Quiet and slept very well. We did not need the AC, the weather was perfect. The hotel is over 100 years old hotel and decorated old Victorian. The service was excellent and the rooms were very clean.
- Maria (10/5): - Great
- Erick (8/5): Cute vintage vibe - right next to the main strip - We enjoyed staying here! The hotel is quite old, with a lot of character. The room was very, very small, so be prepared for that. Everything was clean and had a nice, clean smell. Sadly, there was no coffee in the room or even in the hotel! That's almost a deal breaker. Also, no fan in the bathroom which sucks but is kind of common in hotels. The staff were all very good. The view was excellent - right out to the harbor! It's also only a half block from the main strip/beach so you can't get any more convenient! The value was really good so if you are trying to stay on a budget, this is a fantastic option.
- Ronnie (10/5): - The room was cute.The staff was amazing.It's a very, very old hotel, so it's got all kinds of really cool charm.I enjoyed my stay there immensely.I'll definitely stay there again
- Robert (2/5): - Room - No room service, no air conditioning, ceiling fan did not work, WIFI connection was slow and dropped out often, the TV remote did not work, the key card did not work half of the time, there were no amenities (no coffee or tea service in the room and no microwave to heat water or food), No coffee or water in the lobby, there is a low-income apartment building next to the hotel so any sea breeze you get smells like marijuana, the toilet did not flush properly. Their is a security door on the ground floor to keep non-guests from accessing the hotel rooms and patio area, but the staff props it open during the day for their convenience and does not shut it at night so anyone can access the hotel (a drunk bum came into the patio area making a bunch of noise on my first night at 1:00 am). I had to shut the gate myself every night after that. Service - What service? Like I said, there is no room service so if you stay more than two days you will have to hunt down a maid for clean towels. Maids only work between 9:30 am to 12:00 pm. This is important because the hotel does not staff the front desk. The hotel advertises the front desk is staffed from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm, but this is not true. Every time I went to the front desk, there was a sign that said "On Break...call (xxx) xxx-xxxx if it is an emergency". A number of the other guests complained about it as well. Location - No real view of the ocean, but the hotel is fairly close to the beach and shopping.
- Steven (8/5): Well worth the stay,perfect location! - Everything was great! Super responsive, friendly,helpful staff! Only issue was the shower water pressure! I felt like Will Ferrel in the movie Elf taking a shower!😂
- James (8/5): - Clean room and building
- Robyn (8/5): - Rooms need updated but they were clean. The staff was friendly.
- Jeffrey (8/5): - Good Value for Catalina Island. Rooms and hotel were clean. Location was only 5 min walk from the dock. No A/C in the rooms but that wasn't an issue during our stay.
- Michele (10/5): - Let’s face it…the property is in serious need of updating, but the charm and people that work there makes it more than enjoyable!
- Paula (8/5): - These are quaint older SMALL rooms, but the location is hard to beat. It would be challenging for larger people in some rooms, but for one petite me it was great. The staff was extra kind and helpful. It's no bells and whistles, I don't think the TV even worked, and the water takes a while to heat up, no coffee or water or breakfast offered, but really for the cost it was great.
- Marwa (10/5): - Close to everything and the receptionist was amazing!
- Matt (10/5): - There is absolutely a dated charm to this spot - while aged, the entire property is clean, well cared for, and for the price, it's unbeatable in its location to downtown Avalon. Room was clean, there was hot water, and the bed was one of the most comfortable I've slept in. Absolutely recommend for a few nights on the island.
- Sonja (6/5): - Old hotel but sufficient for a night in Avalon. They really need to add a coffee service at minimum.
- Jackson (6/5): - thumbs up
- Rachel (6/5): - No coffee only gripe…
- Norma (6/5): - Convenient location, walking distance to the main street. Very outdated, very small restroom, room didn’t look or smell very clean, missing standard toiletries, tv didn’t work. Front desk staff not very friendly, housekeeping staff very nice and helpful. It’s a climb uphill to hotel, if on a higher floor be aware there is no elevator.
- Magdalena (2/5): Very unfortunate event - I couldn’t arrive to the hotel because when you booked they don’t explain that you need to book also the Ferry to get to your destination It was my first time booking hotel at the Island even I tried to contact them couple of times they didn’t answer I explained I couldn’t book Ferry for that day they’re not available they were booked already they just ignored my request for cancellation or get refunded I do even paid extra money for some sort of insurance they offered to prevent this out of your hand situation and for you not to lose your money it was a totally unacceptable situation and wrong decision towards getting my hotel money refunded back
- Ken (10/5): - It was fun
- Elsa De La (8/5): - It was a good trip the hotel was good but inly for a couple days only. Its uphill so if u dont mind the walk.
- Julie (10/5): Catalina Charm - Cute historic hotel. Clean, comfortable and close to shops, restaurants, and the beach. Only wish they had coffee in the morning.
- Rochanna (4/5): A little too vintage for my husband and I - The hotel itself is a historic vintage hotel with almost no upgrades over the years at all, which adds to the authenticity and quaint feel but There are zero amenities such as coffee makers in room and air conditioning. The ocean view in our room was amazing and almost made it all worthwhile. But the bed and pillows were incredibly uncomfortable and old that neither of us slept at all. If you’re looking for quaint vintage Catalina this is for you but if you’re expecting any amenities or comfort, go elsewhere.
- greg (10/5): - A very quaint hotel
- Greg (8/5): - Close to shops. Clean room. Helpful staff.
- Richard (10/5): - Pleasant hotel. Staff were friendly and helpful. We would stay there again.
- Danny (10/5): - Really enjoy our stay and close to every thing we needed.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Deep sleepers sleep here - We are light sleepers so the walls being thin made it hard to sleep well, and every door closing, footsteps upstairs was clearly heard. Can't beat the pricing and location though compared to other places. So it's a great deal for deep sleepers.
- Adriana (10/5): - Not informed about the microwave was available for use
- Allen (6/5): - The property wasnt exactly what I expected but it wasnt terrible.
- JOHN (10/5): - Great island! Super laxed on the island the food and activities were top notch! If you like shopping plenty of that to do!
- Lisa Stephanie Ms (8/5): - The property was a little run down but the room was nice. No A/C, but it wasn't necessary.
- Hedrick (8/5): - Overall, it was good! Very conveniently located near the shops and restaurants. Staff was friendly! The only things we didn’t like are the following - room is very small - no air conditioning - balcony is weird. A window in our room is located on the balcony so people can see in. - Balcony only had two chairs and one table - No elevator - it was somewhat dirty You get what you paid for. Overall, it was good!
- Mark (6/5): - Shower Pressure was a 2 on a 10 scale. Other than that it was good. My girlfriend was woken up by another customer slamming doors. A coffee machine would be good.
- Christopher (10/5): Victorian Charm in Avalon - First time to Avalon. Loved this Victorian era hotel. Kept up very nicely. I had a 3rd floor room with a harbor view. Clawfoot tub but you can only use the shower function. No A/C, but there is a cieling fan, and the temperature was perfect outside, so keepi g the windows open was enough. It is on the opposite side of the harbor from where the dock is, and up a steep hill for a bit. Not a bad walk thought, but not ideal for an older person or handicap. Also no elevator. But for anyone else, it’s very clean and charming and has reproductions of old images of Catalina around and the staff is very helpful and welcoming. Check out is 11am, but if your boat leaves later, they will let you store your luggage in the lobby. Would definitely stay there again!
- Sevinj (10/5): - Harika
- Heidi (8/5): - Be mindful there is no elevator and you might get a room on the third floor. Our room did not have a closet to hang clothes, but there were plenty of drawers. There is a nice balcony/porch to sit out on at each level.
- Sara (2/5): No hot water - The water was out and I had to find another hotel immediately. I’m still waiting on my refund. They had time to let me know about the water earlier, they should have called me so I had more time to find another hotel. The last time I stayed at this hotel the tv was out the whole time. Never staying here again.
- GUSTAVO (6/5): - Location was great, walking distance to everything. Hotel is very outdated.
- Connie (4/5): - No coffee accessible anywhere. NO HOT WATER ON LAST DAY…terrible! Ceiling fan light continued to randomly come on thruout night…had to disconnect. No one at front desk to help.
- Kathy Albert (10/5): - We came to celebrate our honeymoon here. We love the friendliness
- Austin tyerman (10/5): - The lady that was working the front desk during operating hours came after hours from home to let us in our room ! Great staff
- Verified traveler (8/5): - The property is a bit old (think cracking paint and such) but I really enjoyed it. The staff is great and my room was so quiet and peaceful. I had a water view! The area is lovely and safe, I felt comfortable my entire stay and wish I could have stayed longer. I’ll be back! Thanks Mona, Nancy and Maria for a nice relaxing stay!
- tiffany (8/5): - This place was great! Great location just about a block from the shore, great value for the money. Staff was friendly and attentive. We had an issue with our door and there is not staff at the desk after hours. We called the emergency number and someone came down to let us in IMMEDIATELY. I was super impressed. The building itself has quant historic charm. My only complaints would be the bed and pillows aren’t the best ( which if they aren’t yours from home they won’t feel right) and the walls are thin ( comes with the territory of old building). Overall great experience.
- Barbara (8/5): - A low price facility in an extremely expensive location. There are no glasses or cups available. There is a microwave near the lobby. So if you want coffee or tea in the morning, bring your cup and your supplies.
- Maria (10/5): - Amazing place to stay! The staff was friendly, the rooms were gorgeous, and to top it all off it was located in a very convenient spot right off the main road!
- Katelyn (10/5): I’ve come here for 20 years. - I’ve stayed at this hotel off and on for close to 20 years and while it was in need of a renovation when I was younger, it is quite lovely now! Everything was spotless, bed was comfy, good room over all. Front desk ladies were friendly. I believe the sweet owner (?) was there on the porch every morning and waved us goodbye and to have a nice day. I love this place cuz the prices are affordable and the hotel itself is historic and has pleasant accommodations. Will most likely stay here next time we come!
- Allyson (6/5): - I liked most things about it but the roons were very small for how much you paid
- Alexandria (8/5): - Very beautiful, decadent property!
- Glen (8/5): - This property was conveniently located to restaurants, activities and Catalina Express. The employees were friendly and helpful.
- Hector (10/5): - Room had an amazing view, was very clean and staff was friendly and knowledgeable!
- Jeffrey (6/5): - Loved the community balcony on 3rd floor. You could even see the Ocean from there. So location was excellent. 5 to 10 min walk to Ferry. I would like to have coffee. Dont care for carpet in hotels now a days. The bathroom was awkward with nowhere to put my toiletries. You cant get much better though unless you want to spend quite a bit more money.
- Kathleen (8/5): - The hotel was nice and I enjoyed the balcony. I wish they had a pool! Front desk staff were really nice. I wouldn't object to staying here again.
- Yijie (4/5): - The quilt is not clean, the view of the room is blocked by the screen window, and the charging port is not enough.
- Joel (10/5): - Everything was close by and easy to get around
- Skyler (10/5): - Nancy was so nice!
- Sharon (4/5): - No hot water
- Lawrence (10/5): - Great
- Francia (10/5): - Clean and friendly
- Verified traveler (4/5): - Staff was friendly but hotel is run down need some remodeling / updating for sure , no ac which I was ok with . The bath tub was peeling if your looking for a cheap stay I would recommend it I don’t recommend if your wanting a nice comfortable stay . I would definitely skip this hotel next time . I must say staff is very friendly.
- Rocio (10/5): - There were no amenities offered but we got what we expected for the price we paid. Definitely budget friendly.
- Neil (10/5): - Excellent great location affordable
- Robert (10/5): - Love them
- Nerissa (6/5): - Everything was fine, I'm aware, I ordered a room with two beds and they gave me a single bed and the television went on alone every 15 minutes.
- Hazal (6/5): - I like how it
- Dale (8/5): - It had a feeling of old Catalina
- Jacob (10/5): - Everything was great. Thank you for holding our bags.
- Sandra (8/5): - No cups for water in the room or available anywhere.
- Mike (8/5): - Staff was Excellent! A bit disappointed that no coffee or continental breakfast.
- Clifford (4/5): - We didn't have hot water for 2 days. No discount was offered, other than they would give us a refund if we canceled staying there. No other hotels had 2 beds available. No coffee available in the hotel. No drinking cups/glasses in the rooms. Only thing good was it was cute.
- Nelli (10/5): - Bed comforts
- Michelle (4/5): - Sink was next to my bed smh.The staff cabinet was rt next to my room they started going in and out the cabinet early in the morning so annoying. My t.v did not work the whole weekend they tried to fix it 😒 the 97.00 they refunded me was absolutely not enough.
- Connie (8/5): - The phone number we were given to contact for check in is not in service, which was a little concerning since we were told to contact them for check in steps. The hotel is convenient to beach and activities, there were no amenity available, no elevator, no air conditioning but the weather was amazing so it wasn't needed. The hotel is old but rooms well maintained. We paid a little more for an ocean veiw and that was nice. All in all it was just what we needed, a comfy small room for 1 night!
- Verified traveler (6/5): Needs a Little Love - I like to think of my self as extremely positive and hate leaving reviews that are mediocre but that was The Catalina Hotel experience for us. There’s a lot to be desired here, but let’s start with our keys stopped working and at 9am on a Sunday I waited for 30 minutes for someone at the front desk and the number on the counter for emergencies went to voicemail. We had holes in our screens with moths and bugs flying everywhere, Our fans and lights went rogue and were turning off and on at random times in the middle of the night (maybe haunted), but more like on a similar frequency with another controller in the hotel. All in all the hotel made for a bed to sleep in and it did its job but there are some simple fixes that make me think this place could be getting 5 stars. One is just fixing some of the basic things like the key card readers on the doors and the blinds…
- Cassandre (4/5): - This was an interesting stay. I called the morning of to confirm I could drop off my luggage early—no one mentioned the front desk closes at 7 PM and that I'd need to call an emergency number afterward. Luckily, someone was working late when I arrived. I had to carry my luggage up to the third floor, which wasn’t easy with a bad back. The room was okay, but one window screen was broken and the window didn’t close all the way. The carpet felt rough and dirty—thankfully I always bring flip-flops. The TV remote didn’t control the volume, so I had to adjust it manually. Also, when guests log into streaming accounts, they're not logged out—I ended up watching HBO Max on someone else’s account. The toilet didn’t flush properly and still didn’t work the next day. On my way out, I requested a repair and an ironing board (there was only an iron). Later that evening, I came back to find bugs all over the bathroom floor, carpet, and in my luggage. I called the emergency line again, and someone came to vacuum. Turns out they were coming through the broken screen. I closed the windows and stuffed the broken one with a towel. The shower had stray hairs, which were long straight & brown, very different from my short curly hair. I had to use my hands to rinse the walls. Flip-flops saved me again. Staff was nice, but I won’t stay here again. I’ll pay more for a cleaner, more functional room. The owners really need to update the property—starting with the carpet.
- Nancy (2/5): - No hot shower and no pressure on shower head! Told the front desk and they said nothing can be done. They were so rude. 11am checkout and as I was packing up last minute items and asked for more time, they came right at 11am and were again so rude . Never coming back here
- Alicia (2/5): - The room was comfortable and the vintage decor was nice.The bed and pillows were comfortable.We had no coffee maker and microwave.There wasn't any coffee or even water in the lobby.The staff was not friendly,they didn't even try to accommodate us with anything.
- Christine (10/5): - Staff was friendly, check in was easy, property is close to everything. The price was great and the rooms were cute. We enjoyed our stay.
- Raoul (4/5): - I booked two rooms according to what was shown on line. One room was nice and the other room for the same price was the size of a closet. Could hardly walk around the bed. The bathroom was a toilet and shower door in a 3x3 room where even the door could not open unless it hit the toilet. The shower head was 5 ft off the ground. The sink was in the room because there really wasn’t a bathroom. Very unhappy but the staff was pleasant.
- daniel (8/5): Great location - Hotel was great location, room was clean, floor above us was very noisy as though they did not have carpeting. Had a lot of issues with their add on roku device working over the Amazon TV. Plus they ran out of ice buckets?
- Robyn (10/5): - Room was spacious and very cute. The bed was comfortable. Ceiling fan with remote, Yay. No AC but it's cool enough at night to be very comfortable. It's not super quiet, but that's to be expected beciase you are so close to town.
- Terrie (6/5): - I know that things happen sometimes, that is nobodies fault. And they gave us a discount for our inconvenience. But we were there two nights without hot water. Wanted to go swimming but the thought of a cold shower made us change our plans. The hotel is refurbished very nicely. It was clean and quiet..
- Mary (2/5): - Really run down. Staff not responding like hospitality should. Feels like a Ron down hostel in another country.
- Kathleen (8/5): - Great for people who like comfortable, simpler le accommodations. ( no morning coffee but plenty of close places to grab a mug. ).
- Irene (8/5): - It was very close by to all the main areas and the beach in Catalina. It's kid friendly and staff members are very friendly, that when we got there early we were able to leave our luggage until our check-in time to explore before checking into our room
- ANGELA (8/5): - One of my favorite hotels here. The staff couldn’t be any nicer and helped me with my luggage to the room on the third floor just a little bummed. I had a cold shower for two days as the hot water wasn’t working, but other than that everything I was so comfortable and soft which I so appreciated.
- Sander (8/5): Would definitely stay here again - Had a good stay here, can’t complain especially for the price compared to the other hotels on the island. I would stay here again.
- Lizbet (8/5): - The location is perfect! Our room had a nice view. Bathtub had some cracks in the enamel. Beds were not comfortable and sheets were basic, but clean.
- Ethan (6/5): - Very nice place. The sink was clogged however but very cozy stay. Lots of shopping and places to eat nearby.
- Verified traveler (6/5): - The lights kept turning on randomly in the night, the bed was uncomfortable, the "view" was obscured by dirty windows and screens, the shower was a trickle
- Tamara (10/5): - Great location.
- gladys (8/5): - At first there was no hot water till after 3 minutes it started working
- Candice (4/5): - The room was surprisingly small, more like a walk-in closet. The sink was positioned just 7 inches away from the bed, not in the bathroom. The room was completely bare, devoid of any essential items like tissues, cups, an alarm clock, or even an ice bucket. The lady offered me a plastic bag for ice, but the front desk was closed, leaving me completely alone and unable to get any assistance. I wouldn’t stay there again
- Irene (10/5): Great price, location and service was great! - It was a good price, great location. Awesome service but unfortunately no AC. I would stay again!!!
- Kristen (10/5): - Everyone was super nice. The property was clean and cute. You absolutely can’t beat the location and convenience to everything.
