The location was great. The wine and cheese with lemonade and the continental breakfast were very appreciated. The garden setting and chaise lounges were wonderful because we had to check out by 11, but our ferry left at 4. The water jugs were a nice thought. The coupon with Avalon Grill was very nice.

A shuttle picked us up at the ferry and drove us up the steep hill to the hotel. The same shuttle was available throughout our stay to take us to and from town. The room had a fabulous view looking down on Catalina Harbor and a lovely terrace. The beds were comfortable and had high quality linens. The bathroom was very large and exceptionally nice with an enclosed shower stall separate from the bathtub.

The front desk called us when the room was ready early and they stored our luggage until then.

Very quaint small town with cute shops, restaurants, great views, and plenty to explore. Can be done on a budget, but the touristy activities will drain your wallet. Quiet town, but noisy and crowded when cruise ships pull up so plan accordingly.

Beautiful place to visit with lots of shops, restaurants, excursions and beaches. Be sure to book excursions in advance of your stay because the cruise ships stop here so most of the excursions get sold out in advance.

I loved the calm relaxing vibe.
I loved the calm relaxing vibe. It felt like a quaint sea side village from the past. Everything was very clean and the walking on the beach frontage or the walk to the casino were very pleasant for us seniors. I also saw young families with small children which appeared to be ideal for that phase of family life because the beach is so close. I hadn't been to Avalon for over 20 years and was extremely happy with the way it has evolved and the pleasant atmosphere. Enjoyed it very much, but if I come back with my young adult grand daughters, they would probably want to do more of the activities which are available.

Our observation of Avilon is that is evolving.
Our observation of Avilon is that is evolving. There are more small cars. The businesses seem to be sustainable and pretty much thriving, and all is a positive experience.
Catalina is a mere 27-30 miles from where we live in So CA, but it could be HI, South of France or Southern Italy.
I think, just go there with the intent of slowing down and enjoying slower time and removing yourself from the balance of hectic life elsewhere. It is a good place to relax.

We visited at start of January (still school holidays) and found reduced restaurant and shop options. Restaurants tended to close early.
Easy 1hour comfortable ferry crossing to island with Catalina Express from Long Beach. Saw dolphins en route.
Just few minutes walk to main town, shops, restaurants and many hotels from ferry terminal.
Plenty of walks, but hilly. Fabulous views & plants/wildlife. Mostly golf carts or bikes and limited cars/local mini bus to get around.
Easy access to public restrooms around Avalon.
Would visit spring onwards for future visit.

Avalon can be magical to visit for a couple of days.
Avalon can be magical to visit for a couple of days. Lots of activities, food options, and shopping. It's charming and beautiful. The M restaurant is one of my favorites, with good breakfast and lunch options. At dinner, it's a good Italian restaurant.
The location on the hill side is beautiful and the pools great. The golf cart ride up the hill is available about 50% of the time ask them about the stair case down to Avalon. It has a beautiful view and makes the walk a lot easier. It’s actually a lot closer to town than I had anticipated. The hotel is well done and modernized with great design. The staff was all very nice. It’s next to the bell tower on the island it’s a very quick walk there with a stunning view of the casino and surrounding area/harbor.
The hotel is perfectly situated in the heart of downtown so it was super easy to get to off the ferry. It is above a few shops but we had no issues with noise. It is right next to all of the best restaurants (I highly recommend Lobster trap). The room is small but cozy -its not like you are there to spend time in the room anyway. Recently updated bathroom was nice. We were there to celebrate my wife's birthday and they had flowers waiting in the room. Super friendly staff- highly recommend.
It was very good our trip is a modern and beautiful hotel, the rooms are not very large but they are beautiful, also the fact that the option to pay at the hotel is not available and you will be charged 3 days before to the card that you put that it is good to know before since the application does not explain it, and when you arrive at the stay you leave 300 dollars of deposit in case they do not have extra money consider it! Otherwise, everything is super! We liked it a lot!!
There is only pet friendly hotel in a rush booking in that price! No elevator but staff are friendly! Bed are okay for two people, if is a high weight mind need a larger size bed. Small kitchen is nice things need are quite full prepared ! Electric fire cook pad is only available not work, we could only use microwave to boiling water, frozen is nice and cool! Location is nice, couple walks to the sea or Vons! Overall 5five star!

I stayed for two nights for my birthday. Hands down the best features were the golf cart and the hot tub. Everything was great, the beds were super comfortable. TVs are in every room. If you were to rent a golf cart on your own they charge $60 per hour and you have to return it at the end of the hour or day, so being mobile on the island was a fantastic feature.
Super adorable property, friendly staff, a beautiful courtyard garden with a fireplace that we walked out to straight from our room. Our room was very spacious and comfortable with a huge bathroom. The location couldn’t have been better.
We will definitely be staying here again on our next trip to Catalina Island
This property is right on the Main Street in Avalon and was an easy walk from the Catalina Express Dock. The room was very clean and supplied all of the basic amenities. This is an older hotel (over 100 yrs) but everything was in good working condition.
The Catalina Island Inn was perfect for our stay. We enjoyed breakfast on the balcony over sized bathroom. The bathroom had full sized shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. The bed was very comfortable too. Everything was perfect!
Had a great time in Catalina staying at the Pavillon Hotel. We loved how centrally located it was. The grounds were green and lush. The courtyard was welcoming. The bonfire was the perfect spot to enjoy our Wine. Thank you!!
Hotel location was great and this was the most affordable place on the island. We stayed here in 2018 and really enjoyed it as it was MUCH nicer then. After this visit I would not recommend.
The location is the best right on the main street. Rooms are nice size and up to date. Staff is wonderful! We have stayed on Catalina many times and this place is one of the best.
The room was very nicely appointed and felt very modern. The staff was very friendly and helped with suggestions around the city. The hotel and room itself were very clean.
There were worms in the mattress. Instead of getting other room, the manager told us to leave the hotel after one night.
And to this day, we haven't received a refund.
Excellent location in the middle of Avalon, overlooking the cutest little market place area. Lovely decor, comfortable and the jacuzzi on the roof was an added bonus!
