It’s a great hotel in theory but once here it was a disappointment. No one answers the phone as we inquired about early check-in. The room was poorly designed and only the bare minimum of amenities. And they won’t store your luggage once you check out. They have a lot of nerve charging what they do.

Disliked: Cleanliness, room comfort

Not even close to what I expected

Our room was between the front door and the elevator. The staff talked about as loud as the guests through most of the night and beginning again in the early morning. The bathroom has long black hair on the floor, tub and basin. The ring was pretty bare bones and quite small. For the price we paid, we had higher expectations. When I complained to the front desk I was told, "I'll let my boss know." That was the last thing we heard from anyone at the hotel. The only positive I can take away from the experience is, are least it was only for one night.

I recommend Hotel St. Lauren to everyone. Old world architecture, you are staying in a hotel that is part of Santa Catalina’s history. The roof top terrace has one of the best views of Avalon and the surrounding area. The staff were very helpful and friendly.
