Liked: Cleanliness
We had the balcony ocean view room which was beautiful and comfy, however, it was on the 4th floor and the hotel has no elevators. It was not a huge issue for us (except w luggage and after very long hikes), but thought it was something that the property should have been more clear about. If you do not want to do a bunch of stairs, even just to go grab coffee or fill your water bottle, this place is not for you. Otherwise it was very cute and quaint and the location was perfect to walk to all destinations. A room on the first floor with no view is prob easy.

1st Time Stay Here

We've been to Avalon several times but this was our first stay at Catalina Island Inn. It was a nice stay. Hotel is clean and comfortable and located close to shops, beach and food choices. We had a first floor room with private patio. It was nice to have our own outdoor space. I would probably spend a bit more for one of the higher rooms with a balcony next time. All in all, I would recommend as a nice place to stay when visiting Avalon.

The air conditioner vent was leaking. I found a bug on my towel. The coffee pods were already poked by the coffee machine. There was a spider on the ceiling. We thought it was weird the mini fridge and coffeee station was in the bathroom. The mini fridge had black mold and the handle was very dirty.
