The staff is very friendly and the price is among the lowest we could find there. Other than that is a below average hotel, not even a place for hanging clothes in our room.

The bathroom was very small and a little run down and the room itself did not have a lot of amenities, like a safe or cleaning. It was okay for what we needed as we were only in the hotel to sleep or take breaks.

The location is central to the main area of Avalon. The hotel, like most in the downtown area, appears to be a converted old home and so is a little basic. No in room coffee but there is a coffee shop nearby. Good basic room in a great location

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).

Hotel was nice. My only problem was i didnt get the room i ordered and got Room #3. This is a VERY small room on the main floor in between the ice machine and the room they store the luggage. VERY VERY noisey. The room itself was just a bit bigger than the bed, Small bedroom and a bathroom. Being this small the moister from the shower pretty much soaked everything.. This hotel is close to everything and maybe other rooms were better, not sure. $200 a night should have giving me the room i paied for. SEnt mail to them but never answered.

Alex was extremely helpful carrying my luggage up and down the stairs since the property has no elevator. IT was great to have a fridge. I didn't try the microwave or burner to see how those worked. The Museum is very loud and noise came in from activities on the rooftop. I stayed in a cottage. Very convenient location and not too far uphill. Older, but had everything I needed for a short stay. It was wonderful to have a place to leave baggage too.
