Room was nice, staff was nice, great location, rooftop was awesome. Only drawback was the loudness of the constant golf carts driving by, however that applies to pretty much any where you stay on the island

The Seacrest Inn is an adorable hotel in Avalon. It’s a short walk from the ferry terminal and close to many restaurants in town. This historical hotel is very well maintained. The room was more spacious than we had anticipated and even had a small refrigerator and microwave. The shower and bathtub set up was unique, but we considered this part of the rooms charm. The rooftop provides great views of Avalon and the harbor - grab a bottle of wine and enjoy the sunset here!

We were unexpectantly given an upgrade at our arrival.

The room was beautiful.

I really enjoyed my stay at this property! Amber at reception sent me a message as soon as my room was ready so I was able to get in a bit early, which was greatly appreciated because I had just finished the Trans-Catalina Trail and was in desperate need of a shower. Amber also had great recommendations for restaurants. The property itself is clean and comfortable, and has a two-level roof deck with fantastic views. They also offered beach towels for guests. Overall I would recommend!

Amazing place to stay on Catalina Island! We got a free room upgrade, early check in, and we’re allowed to store luggage before check in and after check out if needed.
The rooftop was one of our faves! We ordered dinner from a sushi spot down the street and sat up there for dinner one night.
This place was affordable and exceeded every expectation! We can’t wait to come back!

Quiet, Comfort, Convenience, Value
Quaint, old home that has been converted into a b&b style hotel. Quiet and a great location. Avalon is small enough where most attractions, restaurants, bars, and beaches are close by.
