There is absolutely a dated charm to this spot - while aged, the entire property is clean, well cared for, and for the price, it's unbeatable in its location to downtown Avalon. Room was clean, there was hot water, and the bed was one of the most comfortable I've slept in. Absolutely recommend for a few nights on the island.

Very fun, quirky hotel. We did have a ghost in our room though, which kept turning on our light in the middle of the night but once we acknowledged it, it stopped and let us sleep. Same thing happened to two other people from our group, they said the same thing happened to them - seems to be a friendly ghost.

Good Value for Catalina Island. Rooms and hotel were clean. Location was only 5 min walk from the dock. No A/C in the rooms but that wasn't an issue during our stay.

Be mindful there is no elevator and you might get a room on the third floor. Our room did not have a closet to hang clothes, but there were plenty of drawers. There is a nice balcony/porch to sit out on at each level.

One of my favorite hotels here. The staff couldn’t be any nicer and helped me with my luggage to the room on the third floor just a little bummed. I had a cold shower for two days as the hot water wasn’t working, but other than that everything I was so comfortable and soft which I so appreciated.
