Front desk and service was excellent (they knew everyone's names) and were extremely helpful. However would never stay again because walls are very thin. You heard every time someone turned on the sink, flushed the toilet or took a shower. Rooms are nice except due to size seems cramped. Bad placement of TV. Stacey at front desk is awesome!

Everyone who works at the hotel was very nice and helpful. It is set up and off the main path of Avalon which is nice but your legs will get a workout walking up and down that hill. There was something very familiar about the hotel to us...it reminded us of a place we stayed in Belize but also Ireland...it... More

A nice hotel not far from the main attractions. All the young ladies at the front desk were very polite and helpful. If you are arriving on the ferry, it is about a 15 minute walk. (I am 47 yrs. old and average condition...you can make it !!) If you opt for the taxi, and you might if you have... More

I just spent my birthday weekend in Avalon and stayed at Casa Mariquita - we absolutely loved it! They were so sweet and accomodating and we loved the Spanish style of the hotel.. I would definitely stay there again:))

Just stayed there for 2 weekend nights 9-28 and 9-29. I have been traveling to Catalina for over 15 years and lived there for 5 summers. The hotel is very nice and quaint. I am a diver and was attending a diving conference, which entailed lots of gear. The owner allowed us to store the gear in the luggage room... More

The property is very nice and Christine at the desk is a jewel. However, when I left a pair of capris on the end of the bed (they must have fallen down with the bedspread at nite), they disappeared. We left the hotel at about 11:00 am the next day, and later that day when I was trying to get... More

Nothing fancy here, but good, clean basic rooms of a decent size. The staff was super friendly and interested in my family having a great time. The location a couple of blocks from the main strip is not ideal, but also totally fine. All in all, a solid option for tpur Catalina het away--and how much time are you going... More
