Catalina Island offers a charming small property for a comfortable stay. The room was clean, and the friendly staff made us feel right at home. Accessing the hotel is a bit of a walk, as it’s located on the second floor and doesn’t have an elevator. However, the location is convenient, situated in the heart of the main island.

The location was right in the middle of the city. It was conveniently located across the Beach and Harbor area. Restaurants and stores were all walking distance. The air conditioning worked well. The room was fairly small for the price and value. The bathroom was very tight and had a very small door to get in the shower. There was a fridge in the room which made it convenient to store refreshments. There was also a Keurig coffeemaker in the room. It would have been better to have more regular coffee pods instead of 5 decaf and 1 regular coffee pod. There was a continental breakfast daily consisting of pastries and some fruit and coffee. Overall the stay was okay for our first time staying in Catalina. I would have preferred a view of the ocean and beach area.

The room was very clean. I love the little coffee and donut bar they put out in the morning. It is right on the main drag of the harbor and so convenient if you want to grab a white eat ice cream or walk out the green Pier whatever it is right there. The vanity in the bathroom could have been a little larger as there is hardly any room to set anything on it. If room 211 is taking a shower it gets noisy in room 212. Overall however this has been a great place to stay, the only thing I find wrong is the size of the vanity and a little bit of a noise from a shower next door.... I would definitely stay here again and recommend it.

A wonderful gem to find last minute. Better than expected, as I appreciated how close I would be to the front street but I was pleasantly surprised at the value of the room even though the price was lower than other hotels. I was in rm 212.
It was clean and a great size. The bathroom had a lovely skylight too. I liked that my particular window looked into a wall because then I could keep it open for light without passerbys seeing in.
The room was perfect temp with the AC/heater. Bed was very comfy! Cute simple decor. Nothing grand but nice for the price. Loved it.
The front staff was kind and I felt very safe leaving my bags on the rack while I explored before and after check in/out.
Simple breakfast but appreciated.
Overall I would DEFINITELY stay there again. Great choice.

We stayed in two rooms. The courtyard King (134, i think) was very small, dingy, dark, smelly, and it was unpleasant.
By contrast, the Oceanview King (202) was much larger, airy, with great views. Also cost a lot more. But on the whole, was worth it.

The Hotel Mac Rae was a really nice place to be. I think of it as old California. The hotel is old, but well cared for. The room was small but clean and well appointed. The patio was great for me, quiet and sunny, a great place to hang out. The best part is that the hotel is in the middle of the Embarcadero. You can walk from the Catalina Express to the hotel. You can walk to most restaurants in Avalon in 5-minutes.

When we carried heavy luggage way past the hotel thanks to gps and I called for assistance to find the hotel, received recording that said it was past hours (it was 4:00). I left a voicemail asking for a return call asap to be able to find the hotel. No return call and finally found someone who knew where it was. So we trudged back, then hauled the heavy luggage up the steep stairs. (Leaving on a two-month cruise the next day). No one at desk, rang the bell and the kid came out from where he’d been sitting right behind the office wall. He had to have heard the phone or if he was away, could have checked and heard my voicemail pleading for help. We’re in our 70’s, not prime. Probably took us 20 minutes to get to the hotel after calling, he never called us. So not a good start to our stay. Otherwise, it was good. Especially appreciated the Keurig and flavored creamers, that was perfect! Would like to come back when warmer and sunnier weather!

I stayed at Hotel Mac Rae between Christmas and New Years, the weather was not the best because of some storms, but the stay was great. I stayed in one of the rooms with the view of the beach and boardwalk. The room was nice (it’s an older hotel but it was nice to have a built-in closet with nice size drawers. In room there is a small refrigerator and coffee maker. Very clean room, nice view of the harbor. It even had a nice outdoor court room area but could not take advantage of it due to the weather. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a nice place right where all the action happens!

Limited food, showers were small with limited flat space in the bathroom to place things. Staff was incredibly nice and helpful.

The front desk staff was wonderful. It’s a cozy hotel. It was a really nice setting. Everything was clean and your room gets cleaned every day, which is unusual for hotels nowadays.

We had an ocean view king at this location. It is the perfect location for a visit to Avalon. It's centered midtown with lots of shops, dining, and places to walk around the town. This was our second stay at this location. We will definitely consider this location for any future plans to Avalon.

Best location. Awesome for enjoying the beach. Desperately needs an update, at least for the prices they charge.

The service at this hotel is what makes it 5 stars. All the staff are pleasant and were amazingly helpful when our originally scheduled ferry was canceled. Our room didn’t have a view, had an awkward amount of furniture (highly recommend removing the extra chair so there’s a place for luggage - we stored it above the fridge to make space), and was a little dated. But it served its purpose and the AC worked great so no complaints :-). SUPER convenient to get to anywhere in Avalon by walking.

The room was filthy, could hear everything through the walls. There was no way to actually get to the hotel on a golf cart, we had to carry all of our bags not only to the middle of the town, but up two flights of steep stairs because there was not an elevator, that should have been made very clear before we made the reservation, not after

The hotel is very old, but I loved our room. Small, but it had everything we needed. The guy at the front desk was so nice and helpful. The hotel has a great location. The only drawback for me was lots of stairs.

The location was very convenient - just across from the water, a quick commute from the boat pier, surrounded by shopping and dining. We had a single king bed room and it was certainly one of the smallest rooms I've had. There was barely enough room for two people to walk around, we had to sit at an angle on the toilet because the toilet and cabinet are so close (I'm only 5\"1' for perspective). It's a bit outdated. The hotel is quiet despite being nearby so many amenities, the staff is very friendly. For the price, I would book at a different hotel in the future for more amenities, more space, and a bit more modernized.

We loved the location and staff. We really wanted a small microwave in our room! If you don’t have a microwave in each room, then please provide one in the area where you have breakfast every day.
