My husband and I stayed here last month. It is the first time we have stayed at a hotelright on Front street. It was very clean, close to everything and I loved the little court yard in the center. The court yard is quiet and a great place to have your morning coffee and an afternoon bottle of wine. We... More

Did the research, Hotel Mac Rae had the best rates. Didn't know what to expect, since the room was so inexpensive, I thought there must be a catch. Finding the hotel was no problem since it's right in the middle of the main drag along the beach. A nice, well lit stairway led us up to a courtyard and the... More

I took my wife and 10 year old son here for a one night stay in mid july. We did not go to catalina island expecting a 5 star hotel, we wanted a clean comfortable room close to the beach for a competitive price. This hotel was perfect, The property was clean and well maintained, the room was very clean... More

We stayed here once before and weren't to impressed with the room. It was small, old, dirty and the bed was nothing to write home about. However, the price is right for how conveniently located it is and we're never in the room much when we're in Catalina. On our second stay last week we checked into our room only... More

This hotel was just what I expected. Basic but cute with small, clean rooms, a charming courtyard and great in town location. Nothing fancy but I would stay again! More

This was a nice, clean little room. It is a older hotel but that gave it charm. the room is not big but when you are in Avalon you do not just sit in your room anyway. It is just for sleeping! You have to go upstairs to get to the hotel so may not be good for anyone who... More

We stayed there this past weekend. I live in San Diego, and travel to Catalina often. The location of this hotel can't be beat when it comes to being close to the beach, shops and restaurants. The downside was the noise and lack of sleep because of it. We stayed in one of the ocean front rooms, and the noise... More

This is a very pleasant little hotel right on the bay front, easy walk to everything in Avalon! As someone else wrote, very handy for pit stops while out enjoying the beauty of Catalina Island. Great places to eat and walk all around. I rated the rooms a bit low only because they are small and decorated with unnecessary silk... More

Hello, my wife and I stayed at the Hotel Mac Rae for her birthday in August 2010. This was our first trip to Catalina Island and we were only staying for a couple of days. We wanted a hotel that was reasonably priced and close to the water. All of the hotels in Avalon are relatively close to the beach... More
