Catalina Island Hotels

[beastyfourpointsix]

We stay at the Pavilion Lodge everytime we go to Catalina.....I guess that says we are pretty much happy with everything there! Next time we plan on staying at the Wrigleys Bed and Breakfast.

[CaliforniaTravelTips]

@beastyfourpointsix The Pavilion Lodge is a nice little place right on the water. We enjoyed our stay there as well! The Inn at Mount Ada will be a special treat! Enjoy yourselves! Veronica

[aidenlilbrat]

Somebody please telle me if i need my passport to go to catalina island

[CaliforniaTravelTips]

@aidenlilbrat No, you do not.

[starkneked]

@aidenlilbrat LOL!!!

[skaneverdies]

nice guide, but i just checked rates for the pavillion lodge - the cheapest room is $224 - i don't know how budget friendly that is!

[CaliforniaTravelTips]

@skaneverdies Many Avalon hotels on the waterfront go for up to $350 per night, so in comparison Pavilion Lodge is cheaper. Rates change so often depending on when you travel.

Was it cold?

[CaliforniaTravelTips]

Actually, yes. We visited during the winter.

[sourdoughress]

Really. I live in San Diego its pretty warm in the winter like 65-70 degrees.

[CaliforniaTravelTips]

Catalina gets much colder than San Diego. San Diego is well known for one of the best climates in the country.

[CaliforniaTravelTips]

Nice! What are your favorite things about Hotel Catalina? I haven't been there.

[itzelm1224]

hospitality. and its so close to the main square.minutes away from the beach and to that really good resteraunt Coney Island. and very affordable.

[CaliforniaTravelTips]

Good to hear! Hospitality is so important these days, and often lacking in even the nicest hotels. I'm always looking out for nice hotels with good service, so this will be on my list to check out. Thanks! Veronica

[TheUSArmyWife]

You are welcome:) We want to go there again. Can i ask you, can you adviced me another hotels like Metropole?:) Thank you.

[CaliforniaTravelTips]

Inn on Mt. Ada is very nice, as well as the Avalon Hotel and Snug Harbor Inn. There are also some really nice Catalina Island vacation rentals over at Hamilton Cove.

[TheUSArmyWife]

My husband and I had been on Catalina in July this year, and we stayed at Metropole Hotel. It's amazing hotel really. I like it, and we want to return to this place. This hotel is very close to the beach and to the shops :)

[CaliforniaTravelTips]

[DiecastOasis]
