Catalina Island Seacrest Inn

We had such a lovely stay at Seacrest Inn, and I have to give a special shoutout to Amber, who made our experience smooth from the start. She reached out before we even arrived on the island and offered to store our luggage until the room was ready. This easily saved us over 100 dollars in locker rentals. That kind of thoughtful communication made a huge difference and set the tone for a wonderful trip. Amber was sweet, helpful, and made us feel genuinely welcomed. The location is absolutely unbeatable. It was a quick 5 minute walk from the ferry, and they held our bags until 4 o’clock which was perfect because our ferry left at 4:30. It was also only a 2 minute walk to the Pleasure Pier, 3 minutes to mini golf, 4 minutes to Vons grocery store, and about 10 minutes to snorkel at Lovers Cove. If you want to explore the casino or snorkel there as well, that was just a 12 minute walk. We really loved how central everything was. As for the room, the Seashell Room was much roomier and nicer than expected. The bed was comfortable, the space was clean, and the bathroom had a large spa tub with great water pressure and hot water. The complimentary shampoo and conditioner smelled amazing, and they even provided earplugs. We did not end up needing them because everyone at the hotel was quiet and respectful at night. We were on the ground floor with a private side entrance that led to a cozy patio area with tables and chairs where we could relax. Another unexpected perk was the rooftop access. We were able to use the rooftop space both before and after checkout. My boyfriend used it for stargazing at night and said it was absolutely beautiful. There is a table up there for meals, and it looks like guests are allowed to grill as well. Between the thoughtful staff, amazing location, great amenities, peaceful environment, and unique spaces like the rooftop and patio, this stay was absolutely worth it.

This was a last-minute booking, and we were THRILLED with the location! This is a simple room with all the necessities. I can not express the outstanding value of the location. We enjoyed the rooftop in the evenings. The room was small and comfortable, the bed was a little hard for our preference, but it was clean, all we needed for our weekend getaway. We were able to walk to all of the events, including the tours and SCUBA diving. Everything was a 3 - 10 minute walk.

My second time to the Seacrest Inn. Room was clean, had jacuzzi bath, electric fireplace and was reasonably quiet. And the price is very reasonable. Seacrest Inn is only a block or 2 from front street, meaning many restaurants, shops, and the harbor are close by. The view from the top of the Inn is amazing, particularly at night. Rooms aren't large, but if you are in Avalon, you're not there to stay inside, except if you are sleeping.

This is a quaint hotel being that it feels historic. Our room had a separate entrance on the street and was great. While having a "cottage" feel, it was clean, had a microwave and refrigerator, a jacuzzi tub (we which didn't use given the water shortage), and other fine accoutrements. The roof top deck with the 360 degree view is great. The staff was very amiable and having the ability to store and access your luggage before and after checking in/out was great especially with the location a block away from the promenade and beach.

we liked the staff and the location. everything in Avalon is walkable,if you are able to walk but welikethat this was onaside street so it felt quieter not being on the main drag....yet the main street is just two short blocks away
