The Hotel Mac Rae was a really nice place to be. I think of it as old California. The hotel is old, but well cared for. The room was small but clean and well appointed. The patio was great for me, quiet and sunny, a great place to hang out. The best part is that the hotel is in the middle of the Embarcadero. You can walk from the Catalina Express to the hotel. You can walk to most restaurants in Avalon in 5-minutes.
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.
Everything was good. The only hard thing was climbing 2 flights of stairs with luggage. Room was clean, the workers were all very friendly. Had a great stay
The front desk staff was wonderful. It’s a cozy hotel. It was a really nice setting. Everything was clean and your room gets cleaned every day, which is unusual for hotels nowadays.
Room was spotless. The staf were friendly and very professional. Great service.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
The woman who was on staff was very sweet and checked us in early. Room was nice, clean and cozy. At checkout, she was nice to say to leave luggage and she’d watch it for us.
Small and efficient room just what we needed prior to starting our biking trip of the island. The office staff were extremely helpful and we appreciated the assistance in being able to bring our bikes into courtyard. Thank you for a comfortable stay !
