I can see why this charming boutique hotel is #1 on Trip Advisor. We stayed for two nights prior to the Memorial Day weekend, and this place provided a real retreat to the hustle and bustle of the downtown area. The Craftsman decor really brings an earthy vibe to the place. Look at their photo album and you can see... More

The hotel staff is wonderful the location is excellent! This is one of the nicest hotels on Catalina especially for the price! The road it's on Whittley has a lot of golf cart traffic so the rooms off the road can be noisy of your windows and balcony door is open. But really who cares! The place is awesome

My husband and I just stayed here for 2 nights. We had a great time! We arrived early Friday morning and was lucky to have early check in. The staff was very friendly! The bed was comfortable and the room was a good size. They provide free water and drinks (fridge, microwave). We had free wine and Cheese that night... More

We had a great time. Laurie and the hotel staff could not have been nicer or more helpful. The rooms are very nice and beautifully kept.

A great continental breakfast served in a beautiful garden courtyard complete with a koi pond, fire pit, and active hummingbird feeders. Terrific desk staff too, especially Cindy. Very convenient location to harbor. Loved the tangerine sage lotions... More

Upon arriving to the hotel the women at the desk informed us that our room wouldn't be ready until an hour after our scheduled check in....that wasn't good, yet they went or of there way to make sure we were happy, me and my wife were very happy with there eagerness to keep us happy. Cyndee and Joanna at the... More

My parents and I adored every detail at The Avalon: the attentive, personable service, the gorgeous Craftsman design, the breathtaking rooftop view (perfect for drinking wine), the delicious tangerine sage body products, the original artwork and the delightful, yummy, fireside complimentary breakfast. We stumbled upon our room at the Avalon through a serendipitous extra night in Catalina due to no... More
