The hotel was up on a small hill, it was a doable walk from the Main Street. The hotel was close enough to the beach, museum and restaurants.

Came here to celebrate our anniversary. Hotel is well maintained but not full of amenities. It does have a great rooftop view of the harbor. Great location to everything. Staff made the difference with being professional and courteous.

I was pleasantly surprised by how nice the room was for the price since most hotel rooms out in Avalon cost an arm and a leg. It was affordable, incredibly good location, very comfortable with a very good bathroom, and the staff were all very kind during check-in and check-out. This is definitely one of my new favorite places to stay when I visit Avalon!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Hotel St. Lauren! The location is incredibly convenient—close to everything while still feeling tucked away and charming. Gabby at the front desk was especially wonderful and incredibly helpful, giving us great recommendations, tips, and ideas for things to do around the island. The hotel definitely has an old-school, quaint Catalina charm. Some of the rooms and amenities could probably benefit from a little refresh, but at the same time, that slightly vintage feel is part of its personality and may be exactly what some people are looking for when staying on the island. Overall, we had a really lovely experience and felt comfortable and well taken care of throughout our stay. Definitely a solid 4 out of 5 for us, and we’d happily recommend it!

Despite the age of the hotel, the stay was perfect. The hotel is dated and the amenities aren't very updated, but it's just what you need if you're looking to spend the money you've saved on accommodations around Catalina. This place has the potential to be a 5-star stay with some updates but it's charming and comfortable.
