Great location and view.
The room was great and the view was perfect. We had a view of the harbor. While I understand the hotel is old, everything in the room appeared to be fairly new except the carpet. Very old and dirty.

Hotel is very beautiful and very close to the waterfront in Avalon. Rooms were very comfortable. This particular room had a patio which was nice to get fresh air. Logistically located to all the attractions and dining experiences.

Basic hotel right off the main drag in Avalon. We stayed in the family room-perfectly serviceable but nothing to write home about. AC is strong and cold, which is a plus in the summer. There was a thin layer of dust all over the bathroom and the shower curtain did nothing to stop water from draining out right onto the bathroom floor, which can get a little treacherous with 4 people showering in the same tiny space

Honestly, all areas rated as a 4 could be 4 1/2. We were so pleasantly surprised by this hotel, and the value was very, very good. It was close to everything and just perfect for our needs. You have to know this is an older property, but everything is so well kept. We will be booking here again when we come to Catalina Island. It was just a lovely, lovely stay.
