When booking two rooms at the Catalina Canyon we were expecting a resort hotel like it promised. Arriving, we saw that this was not the case. The rooms were small & not updated except for the granite in the bathroom. The pool was overcrowded with not any room to lay or even just sit. There are only about 10 lounge... more

Shuttle service is great, front desk was very helpful but this is where the good ended. Room was very dark and dingy, and the carpet dirty with stains (lower level rooms are allowed to have pets, so my guess is these stains are from incontinent dogs). For what they charge in the summer ($260) a night it's not great value... more

My bridesmaids and I just got home from my bachelorette weekend in Avalon. We stayed in the Presidential Suite and had a wonderful experience. Starting with the manager when I called to book the reservation (she was very sweet), and all the way thru the end of our stay, the staff was very friendly and helpful. We requested a rollaway... more

Was expecting what I saw on the website, which was a lovely King Spa room. What my husband and I got was anything but that! After dragging our luggage down 2 flights of steep outside stairs, and through the restaurant/around the pool- I was in tears when I saw and smelled our room. It smelled like something had died in... more

The Catalina Canyon Resort and Spa is a tremendous value. My wife and I stayed there for three weeknights in June. The room we had was basic, with a comfortable bed, two chairs and cable tv. The room and shower were clean. There is a coffee maker in the room. If you are a particular java junkie like me you... more

Well? Where do I start? I was a bit concerned when I read the older reviews of this property when I booked this trip, but was encouraged when the ratings when up prior to our arrival. You see the goal was to go to Catalina and propose marriage to my girlfriend! I can't say enough about the whole experience! From... more

We stayed 2 nights in early May and enjoyed the place; it's not the Ritz, but perfectly comfortable and clean. Ask for a 5th floor room, most have nice views of the island. It's nice for families, since it has the pool, hot tub, game room, etc. all right there. The hike up the hill was not bad and the... more

Stayed there twice – before renovation and after. I didn’t notice anything special or any significant changes after the renovation. Rooms are average, kinda like in Comfort Inn, but all have balconies and, of course, we stayed in a regular room. I saw that they have some type of villas or small vacation homes (may be they’re suites). They are... more

We booked our room online through the hotel website and got the Internet Special which was a better discount than AAA. We were traveling with a pet and the hotel provided us a room with a patio door that opens out right to a grassy area above the pool. This was definitely a plus. There were some guest staying on... more
