The staff was super friendly and helpful. It was so nice to be able to store our luggage after checkout so we could continue exploring on our last day before it was time for our ferry. The room was small and a little outdated, but very comfortable and quiet. Perfect for the 2 nights we spent there. Perfect location, central to everything!

Premier location in the heart of Avalon. So close to everything! Older property but well maintained and clean. Staff were excellent. Unexpected continental breakfast with pastries, fruit, coffee and juice. Luggage storage was perfect for before/after check in, but we were lucky our room was ready early. Highly recommend!

A cheery hotel in the heart of the Catalina shores. The staff was very accommodating assisting with beach towels and luggage hold. Our room was ready by 10:30 am, which was a nice surprise. The county yard is very pleasant.
