Seaport Village Inn Avalon

4.0 A very pleasant stay.

It was a honeymoon stay for only 2 nights. The building was old but had a nice charm. The staff was wonderful and let us check in early when we arrived in the ferry and held our luggage after we checked out while we waited for the ferry. They even offered to pick us up from the port but we decided to walk to get used to the town and they drove us to the port when we were ready to leave. It's a couple minutes walking distance from everything! The view from its top suite is amazing. The only down side was the minor roof work they were doing on the hotel that woke us up around 7am and the construction going on at a house nearby. The bed was a little too firm for my liking, but overall not too bad. I will definitely return, once the construction is over. :P

The Pavilion Hotel

5.0 The best in Avalon

Our room was ready when we got there 4 hours before check in time and it was lovely. They had a great breakfast all very fresh and hot. Also a great wine hour with good quality wines and cheeses. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The location is on the main street so you can walk to everything. A great stay!

La Paloma Las Flores

4.0 Catalina trip

The price was right for what I got. It had everything I needed. It was like a suite. It had a full fridge, microwave, stove, plates, pots, silverware. We saved a lot by going to the supermarket and buying groceries. It felt like a small apartment. I would stay there again.

Hotel Metropole

4.0 Nice, but not welcoming

The hotel is nice--really, I would even consider staying there again. The location is great, and the room was clean and modern. Large room for Catalina! Kind wish there was a coffee maker in the room (see below) but had everything else. Had a sign saying "please enjoy two complimentary bottles of water" for each day of the stay--but there weren't any. That's actually a big deal on Catalina because they're very conservative with giving out water since the drought. My biggest complaint is that the staff were helpful, but not very welcoming. Had to get someone's attention to check in. Had to get another person to stop watching videos on their phone so I could tell them the continental breakfast was totally out of coffee. (and the backup pot wasn't already going. I couldn't stick around to wait so... no coffee for me.) Walking out the staff was turned away from me hosing off the sidewalk and I could tell they had ear buds in so I tried to get their attention to walk around them. But before I knew it, they'd whipped the hose around to get more distance and ended up hitting me with it. They were apologetic. Bottom line, not bad, but you kind of felt like it was just a job for the staff. If I didn't have so many other good choices in Avalon I wouldn't put this as my first choice for my next trip!
