Top Catalina Island Visitor Center Hotel Reviews

Seaport Village Inn Avalon

10/10 Excellent

"Fun"

Catalina Canyon Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Really enjoyed the free shuttle transportation which made our experience in town and getting back to the hotel such a breeze. The room was spacious and comfortable. Nice that there was a pool to relax in however, even though it was a hot day in the 90’s the water in the pool was very cold."

Studio 9 Hotel Catalina

8/10 Good

"It looked like it had been awhile since the room was cleaned well. It was pretty hot during our stay and the fan wasn’t enough to keep us cool. Overall it was a good stay. It was close to everything which was nice."

La Paloma Las Flores

10/10 Excellent

"I had a lovely stay. Quiet, clean, and helpful staff."

Zane Grey Pueblo Hotel

8/10 Good

"Nice historical hotel with views up on the hill. Maybe one of the nicer Catalina options but the price is reflective of the island itself being very expensive and not a luxury experience you might expect with $500/night. Our room was spacious and well designed but like most of the property there was a lot of evidence of wear & tear. Maybe just a mix-up but even though we had prearranged ferry pickup, no one was there and we had to call & wait. No one at reception when we arrived. They do provide golf cart transportation to/from town which was convenient, otherwise a 15ish minute walk uphill."

Casa Avalon Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was great!"

Bellanca Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great location and wonderful food!"

Hotel St. Lauren

8/10 Good

"Very conveniently located, 5 minute downhill walk to the water; one block away from a grocery store. In room air conditioning is a bit dated. Does NOT include breakfast despite what Hotels.com is stating."

Hermosa Hotel

8/10 Good

"Great place alex was super nice and helpful. Cute place but small bathroom And air-conditioner needs to be cleaned from mold"
