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!

Clean, comfy, and peaceful!

The stay was amazing! The courtside rooms were peaceful and beautiful! The Naughty fox had amazing food and it was nice to be able to bring the food back to our rooms and enjoy it in the comfort of our hotel room. Staff were friendly and helpful in every aspect of our stay! They helped us with our bicycle rental and were accommodating to keeping our luggage while we went to church despite us being 3 hours early for check in.

I liked the location of the hotel. Avalon is very small so everything is walkable. This hotel is on the farther end away from the cruise ship disembarkation area which made it less crowded. The best time is after all the cruise ship people leave around 4pm and the town is quiet again.

Property can have your bags sent over to where the ferry is so you don’t have to walk around with them til the ferry arrives.
