This place has to be a joke. Upon arrival at noon, the hotel was locked. We found a woman who asked us 3 times if we did, in fact, have a reservation. I now know why she was so surprised. Our hotel room had no lock on the door, multiple holes in the walls, mold in the shower, stains on... more

The Catherine Hotel is the oldest and considered the most haunted of buildings in Avalon. It has a rustic and historic feel with a wonderful array of characters surrounding it! more

Upon checking into the Catherine Hotel, one wonders what the management uses the fees people pay them to stay there. The money is certainly not used for maintenance or cleaning. We stayed in a room that included the following amenities: A door that wouldn't close properly; a window whose glass was broken and falling of the pane; a window that... more

I really wished that I had known about this web site before I stayed at this horrible place. I really wished I had taken pictures of the rooms so I could have posted them. Our first night was in room 1. It looked like at one point someone tried to renovate the closet. You could look up to the rafters... more

We have stayed here at the Catherine several times in the past and the experience has varied. The old place has a great, old town personality and when you get a good room, you end up with a great experience. During or prior stay we began to notice the place was becoming quite run down and in need of some... more

This hotel needs to be erased from Avalon. Dirty and disgusting only begin to describe this dump. I'm pretty sure the walls are made out of paper and that is the BEST thing I can say about this property. It is really a shame because the location is great. It is obvbious that there has been no attempt to maintain... more

What a dump!

We took our high school senior class of about fifty kids and their chaperones to spend a night at the Catherine Hotel. We booked the entire hotel for a Monday night. When we arrived, the rooms were not cleaned, and the management said that they could not accomodate all the people, that most would have to sleep on the floor.... more

We stayed at the Catherine Hotel for our 25th anniversary. After 25 years we had the vacation of our dreams! We were informed that there were no phones, no tv's, but there was a restaurant on site. They have a tv in a very comfortable setting and will let you have the remote from time to time. Who needs a... more
