Enjoyed our recent stay at the Hotel Metropole. Everyone on staff was very helpful. Our room had a balcony and a beautiful view. This hotel has an elevator which is hard to find on Avalon. We are looking forward to our next stay!

We had an ocean view room and it was beautiful and very comfortable. The balcony was our favorite part and we spent a lot of time out there. The staff is very courteous and helpful. It is a very easy hotel to get to from the Ferry on your own. Overall we loved it. The only downsides were 1)no mini... More

We spent one night in a superior room. We got there about 1:45 on a Friday afternoon, and were able to check in right away, so that was very nice. Overall, the room was nice and clean, but the carpet was filthy, needs a good steam clean for sure. The private deck was great. Our room was on the top... More

Avalon, has a mix match of hotel quality. The Metropole is one of the nicest properties I've stayed in so far. The front desk staff are what make a difference,their manager Yoli was there when I checked in and was very welcoming, she even took the time to show me their newer VIP rooms for my next visit. Plus they... More

I had a conference at the start of week and completely forgot about memorial vacation- Booked last minute Hotel Metropole in Catalina. No clue about where it was- next day when I showed up stress lifted and I was in Heaven on vacation. The beds were comfortable, the hotel was quiet for a mid day nap, roof top deck Jacuzzi... More

Loved their suites! We were in room 321 and it was directly across the Avalon bay. Loved the view every morning. We were surprised by a bottle of complimentary champagne and breakfast every morning. The staff were helpful and accommodating. The only drawback was the bathroom had a sliding window for the jacuzzi to open up to the room.

We came down from Sin City (Las Vegas) where we live and our friends in Santa Monica recommended we go see Catalina Island. They told us to stay at the Metropole. Both of their suggestions were great advice it turns out. Unlike the hotels in our town where the "customer service" is dispensed by zombies waiting for a gratuity, the... More

Hotel Metropole was very clean, staff helpful. We came in before check in time and our room was ready. Spacious, light and bright. A continental breakfast is served daily and it is well done! Walking distance to all restaurants and attractions. Definitely would stay again!
