Loved the roof top, rooms are small but nice, staff is great, nice to have mimosas on Saturday, location is ok. The hill is a bit tough but the view is beautiful!

Breakfast was fine. Nothing extraordinary. Nothing lacking.
The room was spacious.
It was nice having a golf cart that could take us down the hill. It would be nice to text for this rather than call.
The Catalina Island Seacrest Inn is a conveniently located hotel on Catalina Island. Each room is decorated in a different theme.

Room was small but comfy. Loved the shower/tub. Shelves were provided for clothes. Hosts were very friendly and helpful (let us leave our baggage before departing by ferry). Great location for shops and dining.

Did not know that cruise ships come every afternoon, so the influx of people is a bit crazy. Also, wish that the quality of food around town was better, no so fried and greasy.
On the positive side, Catalina is beautiful and you can get away from town when you need to. We did enjoy our meals at NDMK fish house as well as BlueWater Grill.
Beaches and waterfront could be a lot cleaner in general.

Avalon is a beatiful, friendly city on Catalina Island.
Avalon is a beatiful, friendly city on Catalina Island. There is something for everyone, I recommend renting a golf cart and see the tour on your own, and your pace, with plenty of time to take photos.

To commend is the availability of public bathrooms and showers that were clean ans socked, friendly people, and the boat ride makes it feel like a vacation trip. The girls at Cafe Metropol are exceptionally gracious.
On the down side, absolutely everything is overpriced. A visit to the Casino, a not at all impresive building, is $20! For comparison, a visit to the Louvre is 22 euros, and to the Casino in Montecarlo is 20.
The beach is rocky, small, and in the same bay as all the boats anchor. Definetly not a reason to visit.The food is just ok, and the shops don't have anything that could not be found elsewhere for less money.
Still, Avalon has an easygoing and peaceful vibe, and the people are nice, so if you want to enjoy it for that, it's a nice place for a day trip.

No negatives.
No negatives. Very few cars allowed (have golf carts), so walking everywhere is more enjoyable. Very nice miniature golf and real golf. Events at the Casino. Restaurants to visit: Blue Water, Original Jack's, Pancake Cottage, Antonio's pizzeria / pasta, Eric's on the Pier.

If you are on a tight budget, Avalon might not be the place for you. A majority of the tours are priced relatively high for their worth. That being said, Avalon was beautiful, from the small shops on main street, the walkways and hiking trails, in addition to meeting an amazing set of locals who were kind, knowledgeable about their island, and frankly wanted to see others enjoy Avalon just as much as they do.

We've been to Catalina Island frequently.
We've been to Catalina Island frequently. This recent trip was just for two nights, and it definitely could have been longer. Our main activity was to hike the Garden to Sky loop, up from Hermit Gulch Trailhead and down through the Botanical Gardens. Trail is well marked, but quite strenuous due to extreme elevation gain. Weather was sunny and clear which made for spectacular views of both sides of the island.
Our accommodation came with a golf cart, which made exploring Avalon fun and convenient. We toured the scenic overlooks and also made stops at the various attractions in town such as the Casino, the Island Museum and Descanso Beach.
Had an excellent meal at NDMK Fish House on the first night and also enjoyed our Mexican dinner at Maggie's Blue Rose on the second night.
Avalon is small and extremely walkable. It really feels like an island escape, just a short distance away from Los Angeles.
