Top Hotels Near Descanso Beach in from AU$227

"clean and friendly staff. It was an uphill walk, because we walked to hotel. Not sure I would stay there again only for that reason. there are no Ubers in Catalina. really there is no need, almost everything walking distant. But if you get a ride or dont mind the uphill walk, cute little place. rooms were also small. "

"Jackie was gave us a warm welcome and took"

"The hotel was clean, bright, comfortable, and conveniently located within 2-8 minutes walk to the beach, shopping, and food. The property seems quite old and has some quirks, but it is clean, quiet, and well maintained, with gorgeous smelling star jasmine bushes and succulents just outside the front porch, windows with stained glass over the stairs, and an open air porch on each upper floor with wicker chairs and a view of Avalon harbor. Each room was sunny, fresh and clean, and included blackout curtains, a dresser, a TV with a Roku remote, and a mini fridge. I like old buildings, so I found it charming, but like I said, it had some quirks. These included: odd vent shafts in the walls, sinks/vanities sometimes outside of the bathrooms, no AC, no elevator, and windows that didn't seem to be able to lock shut. I was originally situated in a ground level room. It and the bedsheets seemed very clean, but I found pretzel crumbs in the bed between the sheets. I had been in transit for 15 hours and was exhausted, so I napped on top of the blankets and asked for a clean set of sheets an hour or so later when I was semi coherent, just to play it safe. The front desk staff seemed pretty annoyed and didn't smile or greet me after that day, but ultimately they transferred me to an unoccupied room on the third floor. That room had a beautiful view of the homes climbing up the hills and the harbor and was blessedly crumb free. Staff grumpiness notwithstanding, I enjoyed my stay there."

"This location has more space and I think has to be more relaxing than hotels right in Avalon. Continuous shuttle if you don’t want to walk. Staff is very friendly and helpful.Restaurant is separate entity from hotel and disappointing. Doesn’t open for breakfast until 8, and first morning the chef hadn’t showed up. Never went back. "

"Highly recommend! Easy walk to everything "

"Our ferry back got cancelled due to poor conditions. Staff was very accomodating and friendly to let us figure out our situation and let us stay free of charge til our new departure time. "

"Nkne"

"Such a cute hotel, the cottages with kitchenette were perfect for a couple days stay and being so close to the grocery store was convenient!"

"The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming! It was lovely to drink coffee in the mornings on the balcony table with a small view toward the bay. Avalon as a whole is extraordinarily walkable which made it easy to just quickly come back to the hotel for anything."
