Quaint really means paper thin walls and tiny rooms when you use Groupon. Very friendly staff however and central to everything. More

My wife and I went on a groupon deal so the price was great. We enjoy historic, elclectic places so the room size, lack of ADA compliance and age of the structure did not bother us. However, the cottage we stayed in needs a remodel. The sink is coming off the wall, the shower curtain was disgusting ( it needs... More

I stayed here for the Catalina Jazz Festival. The hotel staff was great. They provided excellent concierge for the numerous excursions I reserve right from the hotel. All of my requests were taken care of without much effort on my part. This service is what made my four day weekend amount to a relaxing vacation. The room was simple and... More

Although Mark and Mindy were fantastic, friendly, and helpful hosts, the Hermose Hotel should really be used as a backpackers hostel and not a hotel.

Stayed here last year thanks to a Groupon deal that included both a stay in a cabin and the ferry trip over to the island. First off, I love how you can get off the ferry and just stroll on over to the hotel. Avalon is so adorable in that way. Its also super convenient that you're allowed to leave... More

This place is: Quirky, Fun, Inexpensive (see, I didn't use a negative word like "cheap"), Service-Oriented, unique, and so cute! So maybe adjectives I needed the colon (:)! They have rentable SCUBA storage units! We hung our gear out to dry (after we used their cleaning... More

The friendly staff go out of their way to ensure that all of their guests have everything they need to make their stay enjoyable. We love all that Catalina Island has to... More

I really enjoyed our stay here in February. The weather was not as cold as I would have thought and it provided a nice break from a busy schedule. More

My wife and I stayed at the Hermosa Hotel over the winter break and throughly enjoyed it! Yes it is a bunch of old cottages and an old main building, that can not remotely compare to the Marriot. But why try? Who wants to stay in a sterile, overly designed chain anyway? At least on vacation! Our little cottage was... More
