We were 2 moms and 5 kids in two rooms. Really appreciated the great location (central but never felt noisy). Really loved the service. All seemed really dedicated to providing a great experience. The outdoor spaces were lovely, relaxing. Great wine and cheese and breakfast. Rooms are basic, particularly the bathrooms. Wish there were more hooks or towel rack. Rust... More

The Pavilion exceeded our expectations in every way. The hotel is a 3 minute walk from the Catalina Express dock and wheeling our luggage over was a breeze. The service was friendly and prompt. Upon arrival we were informed that our room had been upgraded and the staff had a bottle of wine delivered to our room for the "inconvenience".... More

Had a wonderful 3 days, 2 nights at this hotel. Everyone was very accommodating. Although the rooms are small, they are beautifully furnished and clean. The wine and cheese plus the breakfast added for a perfect weekend. Centrally located but yet calm and serene. I definitely would take my family back here.

This was my first trip to Avalon, only other Catalina experience was a camping trip to Two Harbors. Upon review of Tripadvisor and Yelp, we settled on Pavilion, even though the rate was a bit steep at $280/night (all taxes/fees included). After a reasonable Catalina Flyer trip (note to self: driving from San Diego use Catalina Express out of Dana... More

Went to Catalina for a night and this hotel was perfect. Loved the free wine and cheese in the evenings....Perfect location to get to everything in Avalon and the service was good. Front desk helped us book a couple tours and gave us good info on restaurants. I'd definitely come back here for the convenience of this hotel!

Various coffee and tea selection in the room with flavored creamers & a very nice turn down service! The property is broken up into 3 separate lounging areas, the... More

With an extensive buffet continental style breakfast and evening free wine and cheese tasting they certainly look after you well.

Everything about this place was amazing. The welcome at the pier was a bit unexpected (and got me a few extra brownie points), the staff, the location, the room, the beds, the wine and cheese hour, the breakfast, checking in/out and every other aspect was amazing. Will definitely stay again next time I'm on the island.
