Overview

Reachable only by boat, Catalina Island may be just 22 miles off the California coast, but it feels much more remote. The island has only one incorporated town, Avalon, and in the heart of this island city, travelers can find the Catalina Island Inn.

Built originally in 1907, the inn displays classic Victorian architecture. Guests looking for modern comfort can rest assured; the hotel was recently updated in 2010. Rooms meet the needs of almost all guests, with plenty of possible configurations. They start at the value-conscious Cruise Ship Twin, packing the bare necessities in a tidy and compact space. The most luxurious rooms at the hotel feature a king bed with a fireplace and a private patio.

The Catalina Island Inn is located in the center of Avalon, meaning it’s close to everything, including a short walk from the boat terminal where most visitors disembark. Plenty of activities surround the inn, including options for parasailing, fishing, and shopping. Of course, the ocean is a highlight on Catalina Island, with kayaking being a fantastic way to explore the water with snorkel gear.

In terms of dining at the hotel, the Catalina Island Inn offers a simple yet delicious breakfast every morning, loaded with oatmeal, pastries, and coffee. While there is no full-service restaurant at the inn, the staff is happy to offer guests plenty of recommendations all within walking distance of the hotel.

Year-round comfort and island living make the Catalina Island Inn a perfect spot for relaxation.

Pros (+) We loved the location near everything and the short distance to the beach. Everything was clean too.
Cons (-) The room was small compared to the pictures, plus the bed was a bit stiff on the body.

Anonymous, May 2016
Pros (+) Room was clean, somewhat updated, staff were very friendly and helpful which made me give 4 vs 3 stars. Continental breakfast was basic but nice to grab (doesn't start until 8AM though).
Cons (-) Rooms are very small, round toilets (as a guy not cool), like everything on Catalina its a bit expensive compared to what you would pay on the mainland for the same level of accommodation.
