Great vintage property with updated amenities. Hotel has unique old world feel, but rooms all brand new fixtures...Enjoyed the cool white decor..Very clean, beds EXCELLENT. All rooms in Catalina are small, but this one didn't feel closed in. Floor to ceiling windows looked out onto a mini garden /fountain area that was super relaxing. Plus a nice little alcove w/...

Very clean and accommodating. Centrally located to restaurants and beaches. Love the mini kitchen for coffee and muffins. They have a great patio to just sit out on and have a glass of wine. Definitely would recommend. We are going back real soon!

We just returned from a most wonderful stay at the Edgewater Hotel on Catalina Island. Our suite overlooked Avalon Bay from the Casino to Lover's Cove. The room was clean and beautifully decorated for Valentine's Day. It included a refrigerator, small sink and counter top. We spent hours just relaxing in our suite, appetizing, imbibing and enjoying the view. During... More

Not only is this one of the very few hotels that would allow you to stay just one night. They also allow for a very early check-in and if they aren't able to accomodate, they will hold your bags until check-in time so that you can explore the island. The hotel is extremely clean and comfortable. Definitely recommend!

We stayed in one of their ocean view suites that has a sweeping view of the entire bay. There is nothing like enjoying the ocean breeze sail through the well appointed suite that... More

This hotel is located in the center of town right at the beach. There are restaurants and shops virtually right at your doorstep. The rooms are clean, modern and well-appointed, and the staff was accommodating and very helpful. We were in one of the two rooms that overlook the beach and beach walk, and recommend one of those if you... More

This hotel is right downtown off the boardwalk. And it is extremely clean. and the price is probably the lowest on any given weekend or holiday… and Often the only property with a vacancy…. The reason… There is no flavor to this hotel. The rooms are lined up down a single hall and designed to be easy to clean and... More
