Catalina Beach House

The staff was the best and room was perfect.  Reasonable rates and pet friendly.  The staff went out of there to do things for us.  Found out they don't rent out to visitors anymore it's only for there people.  Have to go Hermos which we stayed only a few hours very dumpy. I want to go back but I hesitate but it's the only place that tame animals.  I've gotten to different answers on the Hermosa. Want to go to Catalina In the worst way but I want the Boat House beautiful view from hotel where at the Hermosa no beautiful view of the island. So I'm still debating I'll be calling again.  

Worth going two blocks uphill to have the place almost to ourselves, plus a lovely view of the harbor. Not only did we get upgraded to the nicest room, but also we were welcomed with complimentary tickets to the botanic gardens and glass bottom boat ride. The young men who helped us were as sweet and friendly as could be, even offering to bring us (no charge) to the botanic gardens in their golf cart.  I suggest going in off season as the weather is still perfect; Avalon was less crowded; the hotel was quiet, with attentive service.  Especially nice was having the kitchenette so we could make a few meals in our room, store cold water, and keep expenses down. As well, with the hotel having the partnership with the Hermosa Hotel meant we had somewhere to store our luggage after check out plus have a base to come to before catching the Catalina Express back to the mainland.

The history of this place is worth staying. Small place. Choose the upgrade (the room pictured the most on here). It is lovely. Clean place. Good service. It is up a hill-so maybe not ideal for someone physically challenged. I would stay here again.

I love this place beautiful view of Catalina

Viist in winter: perfect weather, uncrowded, very accommodating hotel staff

Quaint and lovely

I selected this hotel for our party of four for the New Year's Eve holiday 2014/2015, and was amazed to find how unkempt it was, considering that it (and the Hermosa) were offered as a package by the Chamber of Commerce for the New Year's Eve gala at The Casino ballroom. The bed was comfortable and the linens seemed clean. We could see a sliver of the sunrise over the neighbors backyard junk from our room. So, unless all you need is a place to plop your fishing gear for the weekend, there ends what good there is to say. The walk up the hill can be strenuous; the stairway down to your room, treacherous. We could not find the beautiful outdoor patio. What we did find was a material storage patio for unfinished projects. Inside the room, the bathroom was small and grungy and not at all conducive to dressing for a formal occasion. I had a problem jump-starting the shower and called for help that never came. As one other reviewer put it...the staff is disconnected. Literally. There is no "staff" on the premises for a lot of the time, and I can't imagine one's chances for survival if there was an emergency. Bottom line, unless you are on a strictly sporting holiday and do not require aesthetic comforts and intangibles, there are better places to stay.

Very disappointing

Room was extremely tiny. Stayed in room 5. When we arrived the room was not clean and there was blood on the toilet.

All that could have been tolerated just to preserve valentines day but the bed was broken. My husband and my backs are still in pain and in need of a visit to the chiropractor. 

If this is the last hotel with vacancy, pick a different week to come to Catalina. There was no front desk, if you want an extra towel, you need to bring your own, and the shower/tub is deeply stained with a look of complete and utter disgust.

Like i said, we could have dealt with all of this if just we could have stayed in a bed not 40 years old with broken bed springs.

Stay away from this place. 

Worst hotel experience ever!
