I got the palm room at the back corner when I came. I’m glad they let me checkin before 4, like they originally told me. I checked in at 10. Could smell the cleaning product but the room wasn’t so bad but old. The only issue I had was that the next day, the WC got clogged after I used it. It was a terrible experience and it was my birthday 😭😭 I told the man at the front desk and he came and unclogged it with a plunger. I appreciate his niceness but I felt embarrassed and it was just weird. I believe it has happened previously with other guests so I was wondering why they still let that room out. Later, I went to meet him to change rooms and he told me it was a one time thing but I told him I think it would happen again. He eventually changed my room to one within the building called the captain’s quarter or so. That one was far far better so I was wondering why they would put me in the first one. Was actually offended. But thank God I asked for another room. I appreciate their cleanliness and other than that first room experience, I’d say it’s a nice place, though old.

The only thing I would change is remove the fire place and put in a dresser. There was a small closet but would have loved a dresser for convenience. We ended up leaving most of our clothing in our suitcases the whole time.

Staff very nice and accommodating. The property is very run down and needs work. Room very dark, windows small. Using smart tv was pointless, no cable or satellite availability. Needed to have your own streaming accounts. Which if you did, the internet was very spotty and was off line more than it was on. Needed towels in evening, staff left at 4:00. Bed very uncomfortable.

The staff was so helpful! They went above and beyond to help my husband with his duty in getting snacks and drinks for the paddlers. Shout out to Amber, Michael, and Nicole in assisting him with shopping and transporting the goodies from Vons to the pier. We so appreciate you and will definitely be back as our go-to place to stay while in Catalina.

Quaint, old home that has been converted into a b&b style hotel. Quiet and a great location. Avalon is small enough where most attractions, restaurants, bars, and beaches are close by.

110 year old house converted into a hotel. Quirky, but in need of proper renovation. Shower/tubs were in chipped, corroded condition and shower heads were fouled with mold and deposits. The staff was pleasant and they moved me to another room, which was bigger but no cleaner. More reasonably priced than other places on the island but about a 7.0, definitely not a 9+.
