The room was decent although we seen fingerprints on the shower glass and strands of light brown hair on the bathroom wall but we didn't make a big deal out of it. The bed was comfty and when we needed something staff was quick to help us out! Everybody who worked there were super nice!

Our friends and us had a lovely time on Catalina Island. Bellanca was at the end of the main street vs the other hotels within the main street above restaurants and shopping areas, this made the hotel quiet and away from hustle and bustle. Everything is within a short few minutes' walk. The main street is along the bay front; The view was spectacular. Our hotel was charming and had a Mediterranean feel. The rooms were clean and fresh, nice amenities, Keurig coffee maker (so nice), the bed was comfortable. Overall, the Bellanca hotel stay was perfect. They had bikes you could use, beach chairs as well. The staff were very friendly. We highly rec. Bellanca Hotel.

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.
