Catalina Canyon Inn Avalon, Avalon

My stay at the hotel was a pleasant surprise in terms of its location and overall comfort. The room I stayed in was much nicer than I expected, though it had a slight unpleasant smell that seemed to come from the AC unit. The service provided by the staff, including both at the front desk and by the shuttle drivers, was very friendly and helpful. The location of the hotel is a great escape from the hustle and bustle of the tourist areas, offering a peaceful setting among lush foliage. The dining experience was good with breakfast available until 11 am. Overall, a decent value for the price paid.

The hotel offers newly remodeled rooms with king beds and bunk beds connected by a door, but noise from neighbors can be disturbing late at night. The service is excellent overall, providing professional assistance, although some recommendations could have been more helpful. The location is outside the town's hustle and bustle but remains easily accessible, with great views from the balcony. However, the astronomically priced dining options and lack of seafront proximity are significant drawbacks.

The hotel provided a spacious room with a nice balcony, though it was slightly outdated and not entirely clean. The staff were really friendly and accommodating. However, the room's proximity to the elevator made it noisy whenever the doors opened and closed.
