This charming hotel is the perfect place to stay in Catalina Island. Yes, it's a bit pricey and there are other hotels in Avalon that charge much less. But they don't offer the same flair. Hotel Metropole features modern upscale comfort in the midst of a place filled with old time charm. The rooms are newly remodeled with electric fire... More

When we arrived at Hotel Metropole we were greeted by a friendly staff. Since we arrived early they suggested we leave our bags with them while we enjoy the island until our room is ready. They even offered to call me on my cell when the room was available! Our room was very comfortable and clean and welcoming. Our balcony... More

We had a very bad experience at the so called bed and breakfast Seacrest inn!, what a dive. This was a welcome relief! Nice view, great continental breakfast, comfy bed. When I go back to Catalina, this is where I will stay. More

Rooms are clean and comfortable and the staff is great. A great place to stay. More

The breakfast was ok. There is no place to sit and eat with comfort, so you have to gather up your food like a squirrel and scurry back to your room and eat.

We were stranger in Catalina this past weekend when boat service was cancelled off the island due to weather. Our suite at Vista Del Mar was unavailable to us as one boat did get to the island that morning and of course, the people on that boat needed our room. The Vista Del Mar had no other rooms to offer... More

Loved our visit to the Metropole hotel. Absolutely the most comfortable bed we have ever had in a hotel of any kind. All of the skin products were of the best quality....IL Ocetane. Starbucks Coffee and the breakfast was yummy..... The location was perfect and there were affordable eateries in the garden below. With the fire place in our room,... More

There is not much quality when it comes to hotels on Catalina. With that said, Metropole has made an honest effort to renovate their hotel. They fall a bit short because although the exterior seems nice, the interior or frame falls short. For example, nice clean white bedding but then an uncomfortable bed. A nicely designed bathroom with an ancient... More

Don't bother making any 'special' requests when you get there, the staff is completely indifferent to them. I booked my room in January. After reading the recommendations about avoiding the 2nd floor, I asked upon arrival (when I learned this is exactly where they were putting me!) for a different room on a different floor. Nope. Nada. Nil. Front desk... More
