Victorian charm, beach steps, harbor views

Set in a preserved 1907 Victorian building with clean, contemporary styling, Catalina Island Inn keeps Avalon easy and walkable. Some newly renovated rooms add private balconies or fireplaces with harbor views, giving downtime a little extra payoff. The beach sits just one-third of a block away for quick shoreline breaks between plans.

  • Dining made easy

    Shuttle over for American and Mexican favorites, plus a full bar with specialty cocktails.

  • Avalon on foot

    Walk to the museum, casino, Descanso Beach Club, and glass-bottom boat tours.

  • Arrive by ferry, stay central

    A 5- to 10-minute walk from the Catalina Express terminal keeps logistics simple.

Quite clean and well kept. The air con took us a second to figure out but cooled down the room really fast. Also the doors and outside could be heard in the room.

The property was very cozy and the staff was very welcoming. Everything was within walking distance and the walk to the port isn’t bad at all.

10/10 Exceptional

The staff is amazing and responsive! Be prepared for some stairs to your room!! Walk in shower is a good size but the glass to prevent water going on floor is too short and water will be on floor. Get extra towels, the towels are old and thin. Really want any amenities to speak of. Mini fridge is always nice. Second year starting here on out annual Sea Doo trip!! Enjoy

A simple, clean, comfortable old-school Inn set in the village. Not a luxury accommodation, but very enjoyable stay for a good price.

I love the location. The building is very old and noises can get to anywhere. You can hear everything happening in this building at midnight. The shower room is super tiny like an RV bathroom. You can not even bend your body to wash your feet….

The staff was absolutely amazing, I went for my daughters birthday and they were so nice to her. I had questions about what to do and where to go and the receptionist literally took the time to show me everything on the map and some of her recommendations. Vons was two blocks away for water and such but this location is center to everything. The room was small but I literally spent my time there only sleeping really

The hotel is in a great location. Centrally-located on Catalina Island. The carpet in the common areas was pretty worn and needed cleaning or updating. Staff was great. Rooms are small but very quaint.

Excellent location and staff. I look forward to staying there again. Staff was helpful. Please note there are no elevators in case that is important and there are 3 floors. If not an issue, this is an excellent place and everything is close by. Loved it!!

Perfect location for a night or 2. Doesn’t have elevators which is inconvenient for families with strollers or wheelchairs. But other than that decent spot.

The staff was very helpful and efficient and the hotel is in a great location, close to restaurants, shops and sites. We loved the view from our room on the 4th Floor, however, it was a trek up four flights of stairs to get there.

Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

The breeze from the ocean was great the room rarely got too hot. The check in was smooth and at check out they even offered to hold our bags until our ferry was about to leave. The location was far enough away from the main restaurants and bars that it was not loud at night, but not so far that we had to take a hike just to get to where we wanted to go. The room around the base of the bed could have been cleaner but the bed and bedding was clean! Overall would stay here again.
