The Pavilion Hotel

The Pavilion Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"The staff were all so helpful. Stacy was wonderful. The room design was special with sliding doors between the spacious bathroom vanity area, allowing for both early risers and late sleepers. The recent updated decor is so lovely. The complimentary wine and cheese at 4:30 and the breakfast were both wonderful. We really enjoyed the spacious courtyard. What a gem of a place."

"Only hotel on the island with a pool which my husband loved. The staff delivers your food to the pool or your room. The food was tasty. Only thing I didn’t like was the smell of the trash cans and it was worse because it was so hot. They need to be washed! Other than than we loved everything about it. Will stay here again! <3"

8/10 Good
"Nice hotel right off Crescent Ave, which is the main road coming into Avalon from the ferry. Our room had a balcony which was nice to open up to the ocean breezes. It was nice to be within walking distance of everything. The staff were nice and helpful. The place underwent a renovation a few years ago so the place is still in pretty decent condition. Modern shower and vanity. Cutesy island-ish room. I don't know why people are raving about the breakfast, but it's just a little more than basic continental. The Catalina Coffee & Cookie company right outside the hotel is really good though. Great cold brew and breakfast sandwiches/burritos. Get there early, though, because there is always a line after 10AM."

Studio 9 Hotel Catalina

Studio 9 Hotel Catalina

10/10 Excellent
"Hotel Catalina Studio 9 was clean, comfortable, with a beautiful sitting area outside on the cozy covered porch! There was no air conditioning in my room, but the foyer was cooled and relaxing. We brought portable, personal fans, which really helped during the hot spell which occurred September 11 - 13, 2026. There was limited amenities; a small fridge and microwave was provided in the room and nice tv, but no coffee provided, but lovely body wash and 2 in 1 shampoo/conditioner was included in the room with a hair dryer. Since travel to the island required various times of ferry or helicopter service, the kind staff allowed the patrons to leave luggage in foyer, until departure! What a Blessing!!! As travel on foot and shuttle would have been difficult while toting bags. We were able to pick them back up, closer to departure time! The staff is available in person between hours of 9am - 6pm, with a phone number for emergencies after hours. Overall, 5 Star Rating!!! Will stay there, again!"
