🏨 Studio 9 Hotel Review: Quirky Charm at a reasonable rate I genuinely like this hotel. It’s got charm, friendly vibes, and a great location—but it’s not for the picky guest. If you’re the type who can roll with a few quirks, you’ll likely enjoy it. 🛏️ Atmosphere & Rooms • The building is older, but it’s clean and well-kept. • Rooms are small, bathrooms are small. (No room for dancing to your favorite song.) • Electrical switches are the old push-button style—nostalgic and they still work just fine. • Staff are warm, welcoming, and super helpful throughout the stay. 🧗‍♂️ Room Locations & Stair Notes • Third-floor rooms require tackling steep stairs, but the views from up top are fantastic. • King-size beds are located on the second and third floors only; ground floor rooms are limited to Queen size beds. ⚠️ Accessibility Overview • Upper floor rooms are not wheelchair accessible, and the steep staircases may be challenging for some guests. • The hotel sits at the end of Crescent Ave, up a steep 30% grade hill from the main street—about 110 feet uphill.• After a long day sightseeing, the hike back feels intense. • If you’re older or carrying luggage, you may want to hire a ride from the ferry terminal landing area. • Older guests may want a main level room. • Competitive hotels not on a hill cost roughly $100 more per night. 🚿 Bathroom Details • Our bathroom was very small.• No sink, just a small narrow shower with a curtain, and an undersized toilet that might

I was really excited about staying at this hotel - it looked so charming on the website. The room is super cute. Unfortunately for us, there was no hot water, which we were made aware of at checkin. Being on our limited budget, we decided to stay anyway and not shower in the morning. We looked forward to a relaxing hour of TV before bed. But the TV didn’t work either. Looking for a refund of some sort as we booked through Expedia. I am hopeful that will happen. Perhaps the hotel will be better prepared for guests in the future.

Bare Bones, Pricey, Comfortable

The hotel was better priced than others on Catalina but don’t mistake that for cheap! At $500 for two nights (with a discount code) it was extremely bare bones. Not one amenity. No water provided but water in tap unsafe to drink. We kept our bottles filled at a neighboring hotel. The bathroom felt like a hostel with scratchy towels and a tiny shower. The TV wasn’t available. No AC. However, the room was clean and WiFi worked well. The bed was super comfy and on the top floor we had a beautiful view of the ocean, even from the bed. The room was large and the location was excellent. We walked every single place in Avalon easily!

We had a nice stay, but they need to replace the old and defective shower valve. It was very difficult to get the water to run hot correctly. My wife got scolded before she figured it out.
