Aurora Hotel is Avalon's boutique hotel on Catalina Island — a sleek, modern retreat perched above the harbor with sweeping Pacific views, complimentary breakfast, and a rooftop deck made for slow mornings and golden evenings. Located at 137 Marilla Avenue in Avalon, California, Aurora is a five-minute walk from the ferry terminal.

    Дуже хороший готель з привітним персоналом

    Дуже привітний персонал, нам дали пляжні рушники після виселення і дозволили залишити свої речі поки ми чекали паром. Чисто і надзвичайно пахучі засоби для гігієни. Обов’язково повернемося ще.

    Все було чудово

    Wonderful hotel stay with great food and good view!

    Staff was super nice and helpful! Free breakfast was very good!

    Only thing I didn’t love was the small hill the street is on to get to the hotel.

    Friendly staff

    Breakfast could have some fruit, the eggs are terrible and could be done as scrambled eggs. Bacon was missing.

    Outstanding service, lovely rooms and great location.

    The hotel is small and very personal! The staff went out of their way to make sure that we were taken care of. My wife had broken her foot the week before we arrived and couldn’t climb stairs, Denise went above and beyond to secure a first floor suite at no extra charge.

    A short walk up the hill and no golf cart service. The breakfast was simple and nice, plenty to choose from but nothing fancy. Very tasty though.
