The classic old-time ambiance cannot be beat on the island. The cottages are separate so can you're not disturbed by sound through the walls. The staff is superb and they worked hard to support our odd schedule, allowing us to check-in and store luggage to accommodate our ferry arrival and departure. Best hotel on the island!

Ultimately this place was beautiful, and felt more like home than a hotel or similar. The people that checked us in were very helpful and hospitable. The only thing I’d say I was disappointed with, is the tv service. We were not able to watch tv without constant network interruptions. The restroom is pretty tiny. Everything else was comforting.

Beautiful quaint and cozy rooms nestled amongst a bunch of houses that seem to touch one another. I found myself in Italy as I walked across the vastly tiled ground with a bubbling fountain in the atrium surrounded by blooming foliage and and birds of paradise. We had to walk up about 20 flights of tiled stairs to our three room apartment which house three beds for hubby and me as well as our two grandchildren. Complete with kitchen appliances, air conditioning and a high tech heating system, and two smart televisions using the direct tv dish. We had a ball. This place is across the street from Vons and only three blocks from the town square where we ate our meals. It was an easy walk to the pier and to return the golf cart. La Paloma Flores is a friendly place.

Tony at the office was fantastic! He was able to get us into our room earlier than anticipated. The room is spacious and provided all basic necessities. The only complaint is we had trouble sleeping our last night because we could hear the people above us talking, walking and furniture being moved across the room all night long, we even attempted to sleep with headphones on but still had trouble sleeping. Otherwise we had a wonderful stay!

The overall architecture of the property felt homey and old timey. It had an amazing view from the balcony suite and would definitely recommend that one. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Although its not on the waterfront, it is only a short walk to it, only a few minutes. Also conveniently located by the vons market right across the street. I would recommend this hotel if you like more of a family run establishment. We greatly enjoyed our stay and would stay there again.

Lots of stairs
The owners are super friendly. The rooms are so so, clean but shabby. Unfortunately they placed us at the highest floor with no elevator. I’m fit at 72 but my son is disabled. Once we figured out that we could go up a steep 1/2 flight to the street behind the hotel it was much easier to get to and fro. In the summer the wisteria grows on the trellises and probably lives up to its name.

I loved staying here!! The place itself is so relaxing and beautiful, and was walking distance from everything we wanted to do. The staff were super friendly and helpful. We stayed in an apartment style room which had dishes, a small fridge/freezer, a microwave, a toaster, and a coffee maker. The bed was super comfortable, however the bathroom is very small and the water felt a bit weird and made our hair and skin very dry. We didn’t really mind that though because that is to be expected for old Catalina buildings and the price was so reasonable it didn’t matter to us much in the end. Would definitely recommend for couples or people on a budget who still want a beautiful and relaxing stay!

There slid some sort of downy mattress topper like they use in Europe. Super comfy. This is an old building(s), but instead of feeling run down like some of the other old hyped in town (catalina cottages), it is well kept and charming! Loved the whole vibe and will be back.

La Paloma is a charming, rustic group of tiny houses facing a common long outdoor stair-path, each bungalow with a small front patio with chairs. There are windows in front and on the sides. Our bungalow had two rooms plus bath, with sink outside of the bathroom. Quiet. Comfortable, clean, and with courteous staff. Pricing was lower than many places. While you do not have a view, the location is close to Vons, and easy to walk to from the main street. You cannot cast your handheld to the TV :( But overall, we were well satisfied.

It was a very good experience overall. The building was not new but had everything we needed. I could recommend to take a corner unit to have more privacy, but it's the best quality-price proportion you can get in Avalon. The only our complain was neighbors who were noisy in the morning from 6 am and in the evening till midnight.
