Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
All hotels in the area similar. Great spot close to the harbor, great rooftop and friendly service, and would recommend. Things that were OK were the bed (2 of us are a combined 290 pounds and the bed drooped), shower (they should replace the old heads or clean them regularly) and air circulation (A/C did work well but you can tell there are circulation issues by looking at wall/ceiling bubbles).
The small rooms were very nice and recently renovated. Very helpful staff. There is a small bar and restaurant on site with limited hours. The location is perfect: walk to everything in Avalon, yet not crowded or noisy.
Did not like: the room door is just a glass sliding patio door (not very private). No bedside table lamps. Needs a second luggage rack.
Liked the Groupon price from Newport Beach to Santa Catalina Island. Ship was clean with good amenities! Did not like the parking cost near Catalina Express by the pier. $40 per day or $120 for 3 days of parking. Street parking not available.
The Ballantine Hotel on Main Street with roof top was perfectly located!
The Bellanca Hotel is the perfection location if you want to be within walking distance of everything in Avalon, but not have to deal with the late night noise (bars and foot traffic). I will definitely be staying here again in the near future and I recommend this hotel for anyone who is visiting. The service and quality were excellent!
Not much privacy as door to rooms are sliding glass that open to an interior courtyard.
Room was very small, bed was small and uncomfortable. Not what we expected for $500/night
