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.

The place was very DIRTY, from public place to the rooms. The room did not have any daily cleaning or at all on our 3 night stay.
It was very run down.
Very disappointed
The staff was friendly and bed was comfortable.

The staff at the hotel were very friendly and helpful. It wasn’t a luxury property, but we were only there to sleep. Convenient to walk around town to all the shops and restaurants, as well as the beach club for kayak rentals and snorkeling in front of the Casino theater. I would definitely book again!

Location is great. Friendly staff and easy check in. This place is OLD, so rooms are small and a little run down. Bathroom was also small. We stayed in a double queen room that was a little snug for us 2 and our 6 yo.

Location was perfect, the beds are comfy but the room itself is small. Near the center of town, easily walkable from the Catalina Express. Prices aren’t bad. Standard toiletries made available as well as fridge, microwave, hairdryer, and iron as well as a luggage room and 24/7 helpline (but clerk not on duty outside of regular working hours).

Good value and location
This place is a good option if you’re looking for inexpensive accommodations and are not planning to spend much time in your room. It’s in a great location within walking distance to just about everything and the staff was very accommodating, but the rooms are very small with minimal lighting and no seating options. There are also a lot of stairs and no elevators, which was not an issue for us.

I loved my little bungalow with its own little kitchen. Very comfortable and the home made berry cobbler they had in the lobby upon arrival was a nice touch. Cute little place, ill stay again.

Good location but the hotel is definitely ran down a little. Flys flying around the inside entrance area. No heater in the room so was freezing all night and morning. Bed was a little uncomfortable on the cheaper side forsure. Also was the cheapest room so I guess you get what you pay for.

Would not stay here again.
This was a very disappointing stay. The room and its amenities were in very poor state with an unpleasant musty odor. It looked like the room had been painted and there was painted spattered everywhere, including on the TV screen. We put food in he fridge only to find it frozen solid by the end of day. I could go on and on - altogether rather disappointing

Very interesting historic property. Clean rooms, kept decently up to date. A/C worked, which was crucial to comfort even in April. Kitchenette was nice to have.
Upper floors are accessible by stairs only, so mobility limited persons should check for lower level room availability.
Some rooms are reportedly haunted, if you're into that sort of thing. Though the hotel staff and I are skeptical.

Avoid unless necessary
Would only stay here if you have no other choice. Most of the outlets in the cottage room didn't work. Room is extremely small, no tables to put stuff on, or closets to hang clothes. We had to use the super small sink and toilet seat to put some of our items on when sleeping at night. You can tell that the place is old as everything just looks and feels like it's been there since they opened with brush marks covering peeling paint. We had two separate rooms and they both matched everything I stated so I don't believe this is a one off. The sheets and pillows were dirty with stains in both the rooms. I will say the only plus was that it has a mini fridge and microwave, but I think that's the only highlight of this place.

Cute spot walking distance from pretty much everything in Avalon. Just wish the cottages were a little nicer and quieter but everything else was fine!
