We were pleasantly surprised with our hotel! We booked a package through the hotel that included our boat ride to the island. We found it was a great deal, split between the 3 of us. We stayed on the second floor in room 8. Our room was very clean, comfortable. Big enough for us 3 to get dressed up for... more

My 2 sisters and niece and I were VERY pleasantly surprised with the rooms and the layout of the Hotel Mariquita, plus it is just a short walk from the hotel to downtown and the beaches. However, we were more than a little unhappy when we woke up around 2 AM, being feasted on by bedbugs. Because the hotel has... more

We went to Avalon knowing that all the accommodations were going to be overpriced. That is what you get for staying in a small town on an island where most people just stay for the day. This place is no different. Unlike most places in Avalon, Casa Marquita did not require a 2 night minimum, which is a plus. The... more

They stay was nice, view just ok. Dont' bring other people because the only bathroom is located in the bedroom. I wouldn't stay in unit 2 unless they have changed the numbers around becuause of a brutal bloody murder of a women in that room. It would freak me out. I watched it on dateline and you can google it.... more

We booked this hotel because it was advertised as the newest hotel on the island and it offered several rooms with "full ocean view". We booked the only room with "full ocean view" that had a queen size bed. The hotel is a very long block uphill away from the shops and ocean, we had to walk up four flights... more

This is a nice little hotel. Do not expect a lot of luxury but the people at the front desk were very helpful and knowledgeable. I would stay here again. The room is was very basic and just like everything in Catalina in July and August it is overpriced but that is the nature of the business. The tourist season.... more

We had the great pleasure of going to Catalina for our friend’s birthday outing a couple weeks ago. My only fear was not finding a decent place to stay because we only had two weeks in which to book. Summers are usually booked up in Avalon so we were really surprised to find any availability. One problem we ran into... more

My husband and I decided to head to Catalina for the weekend on Friday night and there was one room on the island that was available for that Saturday night and it was at this hotel. It is a cute hotel and the inside is really beautiful with the plants and look out areas. Since it was last minute, we... more

We stayed here in July with our 2 teenagers and another couple. I changed the reservation several times, due to another family canceling and having to change rooms with or without King beds. Each and every time, staff was very curtious and made the correct changes and even with the last change I got a discount for booking three rooms.... more

I stayed in the partial view room up on the 4th floor and loved it. Quiet room towards the back of the hotel, loved the open air layout, and found the room to be very clean and modern. As far as noise I didn't hear a peep from anyone, but for those who have a room on the main walkway... more
