The room is very small there’s no space whatsoever, bathroom is literally a slither of space INACCESSIBLE to the disabled and handicap. There’s no elevator to take you from floor to floor there’s only stairs. We were given a new room due to my mobility issues with the spacing but it was a bit dirty, had stains etc and just wasn’t meeting my needs. Of course they refused a refund when i brought my concern to management even tho Expedia did try to help me get my money back as I couldn’t stay because i could not get around after recently having surgery.

The Catalina Island Inn was a perfect location and had great accommodations for my husband, myself and our 8 and 10 year old granddaughters. I would definitely recommend it with or without grandchildren. It was close to shops, restaurants and the beach. Catalina offers a number of fun things, walking, golf cart rentals, glass bottom boat rides, and mini golf. Of course, the highlight was a pod of dolphins following ferry from Santa Monica.

Basic hotel right off the main drag in Avalon. We stayed in the family room-perfectly serviceable but nothing to write home about. AC is strong and cold, which is a plus in the summer. There was a thin layer of dust all over the bathroom and the shower curtain did nothing to stop water from draining out right onto the bathroom floor, which can get a little treacherous with 4 people showering in the same tiny space

The hotel was very worn out and in desperate need of maintenance and repairs. The carpet was worn, torn and dirty. The towels thin and the facility only provided 1 towel per person per stay. We asked for more but never received them. Although the staff was friendly, they were not accommodating. I did like the location. It was close to all the activities.

Great location and view.

The room was great and the view was perfect. We had a view of the harbor. While I understand the hotel is old, everything in the room appeared to be fairly new except the carpet. Very old and dirty.

Not up to par

Needs renovation! The bathroom was new but the rest of the room is not up to the bathroom. Nor is the reception area. Old, chipped furniture and the carpet throughout the hotel is pretty gross. For the price I paid, I expected much more. Also, be aware that there is no elevator and we were on the fourth floor!

Awful property. No amenities, except an ice machine. No vending, no water. Carpets were disgusting. Bed looked like someone had sat or lain on it. Tiny room, tiny bathroom. Not worth the price tag.
