Perfect and Quaint
Pros:

Quaint and convenient to the waterfront, restaurants and shops.
The room was very clean and comfortable, and everything you need, coffee maker, fridge, etc.
They have an awesome rooftop lounge area with view of ocean and harbor.
Amber was a perfect Innkeeper who definitely went over and beyond to make our little vacation special on Catalina Island. She not only upgraded our room, but gave us recommendations on where to go, and what to do. Because of her, we would definitely stay again!

Pros:

Pretty good space! Very close to everything on the island and it’s a nice place to stay at for a night.

Cons:

There are lots of stairs and there’s some lights on the roof but they don’t work, or weren’t working during our stay. It wasn’t a major deal to us, they have lots of other things to offer to make up for it!

One memorable night in Avalon
Pros:

Luce accommodations in "The Loft". I was only there for one night, but could easily have done three -there was a complete kitchenette. They even provide a beach towel!

Pros:

I had a wonderful stay at Seacrest Inn during my trip to Catalina Island. I originally booked the Dolphin Room, but upon arrival I was pleasantly surprised with an upgrade to a loft room. The extra space and cozy layout made the stay even more enjoyable.

The staff was friendly and accommodating, and the location was very convenient for exploring Avalon. The room was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. I really appreciated the complimentary upgrade—it made the experience feel extra special.

I would definitely stay here again and recommend Seacrest Inn to anyone visiting Catalina Island.

Unfortunately won’t be staying there again.
Pros:

The pros i would say this hotel has is the friendly welcome you receive when arriving at the hotel and rooftop patio. You are able to sit and enjoy the view of the ocean .

Cons:

What i didn’t like are several things. First, the noise factor. We were not told or was it mentioned in the listing of this hotel, that you can hear every golf cart, car, and, motorcycle that passes by at any hour of the day or night and time. The room my fiance and i got was directly up the stairwells end which made it uncomfortable because that very narrow stairwell created a very loud echo for everything and everyone that passed by the hotel entrance. Not to mention the gap under our door that let in the noise even more. The hotel does leave you earplugs by the bed, i guess to block out the noise, but honestly, i have never had to use earplugs at any other hotel stay i’ve had. Second, the toilet was not secured to the floor, so every time we sat or stood up from the toilet it shifted and banged against the back wall. Third, It had a jet tub which was nice but we didn’t use, the problem was the curtain rod only ran half way across the tub and not covering the whole tub making it very difficult for one person to shower let alone two. But the thing that we disliked the most, was the steps to the entrance. They are very unsafe and high and there is no sign posted up of any kind alerting customers to watch their step. My fiance ended up having a minor fall down those exact entrance steps leaving the the hotel on our last day and even though the hotel office door is right by the entrance steps and the manager was there at the time, no one came out to assist or even to ask what had happened. Luckily, my fiance didn’t get badly hurt and didn’t want to make a big deal about the fall, but i felt that i needed to write what happened to us so that maybe it will help other customers.

Pros:

Such an amazing boutique hotel. I credibly friendly and helpful staff. Room was super clean and oh man was the bed comfortable. I fell straight asleep every night and had a hard time waking up only because I was so cozy. Recommend the Queen Loft if it's available. Comes with a giant two person jacuzzi tub and a double head shower! Also has access to a seriously great rooftop with spot to lounge and also grill if you wanted. Nice views of the harbor from up there. Location wise, everything is within a few minutes walk of the Seacrest Inn. It's so perfectly located. On a side note, try the beignets at the little Chinese spot one street over, they'll change your life. The Seacrest Inn is the best place to stay in Avalon hands down.

Cons:

No complaints here.

Great Location for a stay in Avalon.
Pros:

I was here for multiple nights. This is an older hotel and in some places shows its age. It was perfect for what I needed. It was easy walking distance to the ferry and to most places in Avalon. I found the staff to be wonderful, always pleasant and looking for ways to make my stay great. I did enjoy the roof top terrace that has great views of the city. I would stay here again.
