If you care to sleep at all, do not stay in this hotel. Rude staff.
Pros:

The location of the hotel and the rooftop area were the only good things about this hotel. The rooms have glass sliding doors, and our room was right in front of a concrete staircase. Their "quiet time" was to have been from 10 AM to 10 PM. The housekeeping staff was up and cleaning, vacuuming at 7:AM. Again, since the doors do not keep out noise, it was like they were in the same room. The two small windows on the back wall of Room 103 both opened up to the street level, where we enjoyed listening to people in golf carts roaring down the street. Even with the windows closed. The guests in the room above our room were up all night, bouncing around, and it sounded like they were going to fall through the ceiling. When I shared that information upon checking out, the front desk clerk was rude and told me that the deck was above our room, and it was locked at night; therefore, no one could have been above us. But, there is a room above room 103. In short, the location is amazing, and the housekeeping staff was helpful and kind. We have stayed in Catalina for over 30 years, staying in hotels, condos, and bungalows. Never before have we encountered such indifference and uncaring hotel staff.

Cons:

This charming boutique hotel was everything my partner and I needed for our seven year anniversary on a budget!
Pros:

We absolutely adored the property’s convenient waterfront location, just a short walk from the ferry. The rooms were spacious, and we had a delightful deluxe king room on the first floor with a charming little balcony. It was the perfect setting for a quick weekend getaway to celebrate our 7th anniversary.

There’s also a delightful restaurant bar called the Naughty Fox. Although we didn’t dine there, we did indulge in a few of their cocktails, and they were all incredibly delicious. The toiletries and shower were great, and Dad was super comfortable in the cute robes inside the room. The staff was more than helpful, accommodating our needs. We were even able to extend our stay for the day and leave when our ferry departed later in the day for an additional fee.

Cons:

Some of the other rooms appeared a bit cramped in size. I would recommend booking at least a king-size room for a couple. we were lucky enough to get a room on the first floor in the back, which felt much more private than the rest of the hotel.

It was functional.
Pros:

Clean room but small

Cons:

Being in the inner court the ambient light made sleeping difficult. The rooms just were not dark enough. Sliding glass door was entry and curtains did not block enough light.

I can certainly see why it’s a three star hotel.
Pros:

The location was wonderful! Not too far from the shops, restaurants and attractions, and it’s right in front of the beach! The staff was very friendly and helpful.

Cons:

The rooms were advertised to be bigger and more grand. The room properly cleaned, found a lot of hair and crumbs, stains on the sheets and towels. Makeup towel had weird straw-like things on it. The sliding doors were so dirty and didn’t block out noise so it was pretty loud. Bummer that they charge you for water too. Overall- I think it lives up to its 3 star hotel status. Just too expensive for what you get.

My room was perfect for 2ppl. Lovely deck for guests to enjoy the harbor view. Easy walk to everything.
Pros:

Great location. Fantastic 24Hour staff. Clean and updated. Comfortable bed. Great shower water pressure. Great in room coffee.

Cons:

Expensive but very comparable to other local hotels. Lots of stairs but know that Avalon was built on steep hills long ago.

Will not book another room here.
Pros:

Hotel holding our luggage at no cost for 2 hours, professional and courteous staff at check in/out. Bar inside the hotel was perfect.

Cons:

Our room 202 had the most uncomfortable bed. I had lower back pain the following morning. I read their reviews when I got home and saw several comments about uncomfortable bed. The shower did not work well because in order to get hot water the lever had to be turned completely down- there was no in between level. The water came out of shower and there was a puddle when you stepped out. Only one chair in the room.

For a weekend on Catalina- a great spot
Pros:

This the perfect location in Avalon. Walkable from the ferry, but not in the thick of things. Retro feel and well appointed rooms. Staff was very helpful.

Cons:

If you prefer a big hotel room, this may not be for you. Rooms were cozy and comfortable, but not a lot of moving space.
