We loved everything about the property, the golf cart, the spacious of the property, full kitchen with a dishwasher and a pool were the highlights. We will always stay here. And Allison, the property manager was very welcoming and available when we needed her. Family friendly place and very comfortable.

The Hotel is older but comfortable and in a great location. The staff was great and very helpful. Loved our complimentary beach towels and chairs. I ordered the Champagne and Macaroons, which were delicious. We had them on the top deck looking over the beach for our 25th wedding anniversary. I will definitely stay again.

Location was great! Short walk from the beach, restaurants and shops! It was very clean, heard the neighbors a little bit, but it was still a nice stay.

It was a remodeled small Catalina beach home. The small space was used very well and the kitchen was convenient with plenty of cooking equipment.

The staff was incredible, especially the ladies at the front desk who were very accommodating not only to our early arrival, but also when our ferry was cancelled due to high winds and we had to stay an extra night. They held our room for us and made a difficult situation much less stressful. Location is great, right in the heart of Avalon and across the street from the beach. Simple continental breakfast was great to get fueled for an early start. We will be back.

It was a lovely place, better than I have expected. My family and I enjoyed our stay. The rooms were clean and up to date. The staff was amazing and extremely helpful. We even extended our stay, there was a report of high winds and storm coming in the afternoon, it was not bad that we missed the last ferry going back to Long Beach. We were given a different room but it’s clean and well prepared all the same. We loved our stay and would definitely book them again if we go back to Catalina.

We loved our room--spacious, clean and quiet, even with a street facing room. We loved the staff--everyone was warm, friendly, helpful with advice. We loved the location--we took several walks from Seaport Village Inn to the beach. We definitely plan to stay there again next time we are in LA.
