Aurora Hotel 137 Marilla Avenue, Avalon, CA 90704

"Recommend booking an ocean view ahead of time. The other rooms are fine too. Breakfast is nothing special. Great service from hotel staff."

"This is a very nice hotel and the front desk representatives are very welcoming and helpful. We stayed in a standard room for our 3 night trip to the island. I must say that the standard room is quite small but has a lot of space to store your luggage. The bathroom is extremely small even for a mid size person like me. There is hardly any leg space between you and the door when you sit on the toilet. The shower is so small that for me to go elbow to elbow and not touch the shower walls I have to be standing diagonally. Finally the bathroom sink is a kiddy sink more like the sinks you find in the interior rooms of cruise ships. So if you are booking a standard room, please be aware of the space."

"Wife and I were there for our 20th anniversary. Had the balcony room 313. Pretty darn small, but pretty nice and the balcony had chairs and a table that were nice to sit and eat breakfast. Really liked the patio and no one was ever there. Bit of a hike up the hill, but only 5 to 10 min walk from the bottom at Naughty Fox. Breakfast as decent, better than a lot of places. No elevator"

"We had a great stay at the Aurora. The front desk host, Parker, was excellent and exhibited true hospitality. The rooftop deck is an amazing place to hang out and enjoy the view! The room was clean and comfy, a bit on the small side, but well-appointed. A family friendly hotel but please, if you bring small kids, do not sprawl out in the middle of the rooftop deck, blocking the walkway, and try not to let them run up and down the halls at 6am. Guests need to respect each other. Thank you."

"Extremely satisfied with every aspect of our stay. Parker at the front desk was welcoming and wonderfully helpful. Checking in was a breeze and any questions you could possibly have are all answered clearly and simply by Parker, he’s top notch. Rooms are immaculately cleaned, with comfy beds and pillows. Excellent breakfast facilities and delicious food. Located walking distance from anything you could need. Many thanks to the team at Aurora! The perfect place to stay on Catalina!"
