    Very nice interiors, plenty of live plants, spacious accommodations.

    Great place to stay on the island, close to everything, but away from the waterfront crowds.

    We were warned from other reviews that there is no elevator. We were placed in the room in 3rd floor so it was really hard to navigate the bikes we brought with us. And the stairs are very narrow and steep. Still, I would stay here again.

    Clean and overall good value. Area is close enough to all amenities and but far enough from the busiest parts of Avalon. Comfy beds. Very helpful staff.

    The room smelled very musty. There was no DO NOT DISTURB tag/door knob sign for our door. The mini fridge freezer door was broken off. There were NO plugs/receptacles near the night tables for charging devices. There was no ice in the entire hotel nor at the front desk and no coffee or tea at the front desk. The front desk closed for the day at 2pm so we could not store our luggage. The freezer in the lobby did not have ice cream. We had to leave the hotel to get tea or coffee.

    The front desk called us when the room was ready early and they stored our luggage until then.

    As mentioned above the tightness of the room

    Casa Mariquita is charming and wonderfully located. The room was a little tight with the television to the side of both beds and only a little walk room around the bedframe. Everything else was good. It would be nice if the desk staff was a little more engaging.

    The WiFi connection is poor, we had no WiFi. The office times were strange they close super early and or they go out to lunch and don’t come back at the time they indicated that they were.

    I liked how quiet it was, it felt very peaceful. It was clean and the rooms were spacious. If you need more blankets and pillows they have extra in the closet. The patio was useful we ate and hung out there. They provided self serve pancakes it was cool to watch it being made from the machine.

    I was unable to find a working phone number to reach the property before arriving to ask a few minor questions. Also the mini fridge in the room was a bit loud, and the mattress could have been softer.

    Clean and quiet room, very close to town and they let us check in before the usual check in time and store our bags after checking out. We didn't eat the free breakfast but the concierge did let us know that they provided a few items including oatmeal and pancakes and that it was available until 11am.

    Breakfast was scarce. All dry foods except the pancake maker that was really cool. I recommend some fruits and maybe a mini fridge with yogurt

    Location was excellent. Close to everything (walking distance) you need, restaurants, shopping, Vons etc. The complimentary breakfast was small but enough to fill you up and our granddaughters loved being able to make their own pancakes. The price was excellent. Our room was a bit cramped but it was good for the one night we stayed. The employee at the desk who checked us in and out was very nice. Would definitely stay again. Well worth the price.

    They need a better mattress. The one in room 7 was somewhat hard. Also, it’s a squeaky bed. The shower handle needs to be fixed, as you can’t turn off the shower easily without putting an amount of strength (it almost feels you are going to break the handle).

    The room was very clean; Hot shower.

    We like the room the bed was very comfortable overall it was OK we had fun. It was a second stay at Catalina island

    The breakfast was OK. The hotel itself needs some update. The pictures we saw from your hotel online looked very pretty, but when I saw the hotel, it did not look like the pictures was Little disappointed

    The day before our arrival I received a phone call from the hotel asking what time we would be checking in. As I didn't have that information with me at the time I told her I would call her back. I tried to return that call 2-3 times with no answer, then I tried a couple of other phone numbers for the property and again no answer. Nonetheless our check in went fine and I did relay this information about the phone call to the front desk. I will say that the property is a bit of a maze with a lot of pathways and stairs to get to the different levels, as our room was on the 4th floor and no elevator we had quite a hike, so I'm glad we only had 3 large shoulder bags with us for our one night stay. We did find a back way into the property very close to our room, but you had to go up a very steep incline to get to it. FYI many properties in Avalon are like this, especially those that are not on Crescent Street which is flat and faces the beach, otherwise the city has a lot of steep inclines in some areas, but with those elevations come great views! Not something I didn't like, but just an FYI to be prepared.

    I appreciated the quick phone call to our room after we checked in when I had inadvertently left my cell phone at the front desk. Check in went smoothly and we were told that a continental breakfast was available in the morning. So learning we could get coffee and a snack was good to know. Wanting to explore the town in the morning before meeting friends we just grabbed some coffee and a granola bar, but it looked like they also had instant oatmeal, muffins, (everything individually wrapped) and some kind of touchless automatic pancake machine.
