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.

We appreciated the peak-a-boo ocean view. Lots of work needs to be done at this hotel to make it a pleasant overnight experience. It is very small, old and rundown. The staff was often unavailable but pleasant and helpful when on duty.

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.

It was very close by to all the main areas and the beach in Catalina. It's kid friendly and staff members are very friendly, that when we got there early we were able to leave our luggage until our check-in time to explore before checking into our room
