Top Catalina Island Hotel Reviews

Catalina Canyon Inn

8/10 Good

"It’s a little bit outdated for the price but overall we liked it."

Hotel Atwater

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel in Avalon! Very nice rooms, excellent location, clean, and had everything we needed for a wonderful birthday weekend with the family. A few feet walk to the beach, the Bluewater Restaurant on the beach and other great restaurants. 10-15 minutes walk from the Catalina Ferry Port. Staff was wonderful! Shops all around as well. Thank you for my birthday chocolate gift!"

Casa Avalon Hotel

8/10 Good

"The hotel staff are nice and helpful. The office provides complimentary water and coffee while open, in addition to offering a shared storage space for your luggage after checkout so you can still enjoy sites before your departure. The hotel itself is adequate, the rooms are clean and smell like cleaning products, the water pressure and shower is great and the shampoo, conditioner and body wash dispenser is thoughtful. We actually had two rooms the evening of our stay and they both had TVs. The cell service is non existent even with the complimentary WiFi our phones remained in SOS so we couldn’t make calls. The bed frames in both rooms were very old, in fact the reason we had a second room was because the bed frame in our ocean view room completely broke when my very tall, but thin husband sat down to watch tv. Fortunately the night keeper was very helpful and issued us another room, unfortunately it was not the ocean view we paid for but we were appreciative non the less. Despite the random instance our stay was comfortable and we’d stay again if need be."
