It’s not rich or fancy. But convenient. Far enough from the beach to cost less than beach front. Astounded

Liked: Cleanliness
The shower is small. And, the water changes temperature on you drastically. My husband and I both were burnt by the extreme hot water that would come out all of the sudden. We also had a few spiders in the room. The bed makes squicky noises. It is in a good location. Close to everything, This was the only plus. The reception area closes early. No access to coffee when there’s no one at front desk.

Liked: Cleanliness
Nice location, a short walk from where Catalina Express drops you off and maybe a block away from the museum. I booked a double room and unfortunately had to climb 3 flights of stairs to get there. Not ideal for a family traveling with a baby, stroller, etc. The double room is a bit cramped. Sink is in the main room and the shower/toilet are behind a very tiny room. It's an old hotel so probably just how it was built. I would say it was definitely clean and an average hotel with the most decent price I could find on Catalina.

Great little spot

Service from the front desk was awesome. The beds were comfortable and clean. The refrigerator was awesome TV and cable worked well and shower was nice and hot. The floor in the bathroom against the wall was dirty and I walked barefoot inside and my feet were dirty by the end of the night. Other than that, it was fantastic and I’d stay there again.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Our room had a leaky bathroom sink/water connection that my gf slipped in and nearly fell. Additionally the bathroom light flickered and had no windows. These issues were reported early the morning following checkout and the sink was not fixed u til late afternoon. The light was reported as fixed but wasn’t. While this hotel was a budget choice, the previous reviews and rating made this hotel appear to be a bargain. It wasn’t. The hall carpet was old and in disrepair. Close to most conveniences of Avalon but that’s the best I can say. Do not recommend.
