My husband surprised me with a weekend here and it was so fabulous! The room was beautiful with lots of amenities. We really enjoyed the gorgeous ocean/city view from our balcony. The staff could not have been nicer or more helpful. Fresh water, tea, coffee and snacks are always available in the lobby, with additional bottled water, tea and coffee... More

If being spoiled like family is your idea of a great place.. this is it! Friendly and super clean. They are so willing to do everything to make you feel special! Fabulous breakfast, humming birds and flowers, lovely koi ponds and tropical plantings make you feel like you have a private little retreat! Just steps from downtown and the harbor,... More

I love that there is a steamer rather than an iron in the room- it is subtle reinforcement that you are here to relax. And relax we did! Our room was clean and lovely, with a small balcony and an ocean/harbor view. It includes all of room touches you want- fridge, desk, coffee, microwave (and popcorn), etc. They have gone... More

Picking a hotel is a tough job! After perusing several hotels on the island of Catalina, I settled on the Avalon hotel and I am certainly glad I did. This little gem is the nos. 1 hotel on the island and although it isn't cheap (its an island so everything is pretty pricey), the service and the attention to detail... More

We stayed here for 2 nights and had a wonderful experience! Laurie, Ana and all of the staff were so friendly and accomodating the entire stay; it gave the hotel such a personal feel. All of the amenities were great also (free chocolates each night was such a nice touch!). One of our favorite parts of our stay was having... More

With so many choices of hotels in Avalon, I used the reviews from Tripadvisor to help make a decision, and was not disappointed in my choice of the Avalon Hotel. The staff was friendly and engaging from the moment we arrived, and this level of friendliness was consistently carried out throughout our stay. The room was cozy, clean, comfortable, and... More

We stayed at The Avalon Hotel and just loved it!! It is in a great location, right next to all of the shops and restaurants. It is beautifully decorated with many luxuries. The hotel is smaller but so personal. The staff was so friendly. We loved Laurie - she was the hostess there and helped us out on anything that... More
