My husband and I stayed at the Seacrest Inn last year and loved the convenience to Ferry, shopping, Casino etc. We really enjoyed the special service we received from Michael and others on staff. We were also able to leave our luggage upon check out until 4 pm, while we waited for our Ferry and were able to do more things around town. Plan to stay here next year! Price also great!

Lovely space with a comfortable bed, very small bit serviceable kitchenette, shated outdoor barbecue options on the roof. It felt both private and communal at the same time, as weird as that sounds. We will definitely be back!

This property was a good value with many positives, but also a few issues, depending on the room you get. The location to the port and to the downtown is very good, the staff is excellent, the room is "cozy", and there is very nice rooftop area with a good view. However, we had the Garden Room, which was on the street and a bit noisy. It also needs some updating...the bathroom door was chipped in many places, in sad condition, and sometimes scraped on the floor. Also, the closet only had a short saloon type swing door, so basically it was open, and there is an exposed sewer pipe in the closet that was very loud when upstairs rooms were using any water, especially if from a shower. Overall it was a decent stay. Might stay again, but only in another room.

The office staff were a delight. The property has different themed rooms to reserve. Ours was modestly furnished. There’s a roof top deck to enjoy. Depending on your room, you may be climbing stairs with your luggage, so do inquire if that is an issue for you. We were allowed to leave our bags in the office before our room was ready and after checkout (before 4p). That allowed us easier access to the sites before we caught our boat home. Thank you for the stay.

Great place to stay!!!!!
A wonderful little place! Our room was nice, but a little on the small side. The misses and i are both in the 6' range, and we had a twin bed. Fortunately we like to snuggle.LOL Maybe other rooms are different. Other then that it was perfect. Great location, great price, and the roof top deck was a great place to enjoy a beer, with a view. We were on the go most of time, so room size didn't really matter. I doubt anyone goes to Catalina Island to sit in your room.

Great budget option to be standed in.
It is closecto the feery dock so you don't need to lug your luggage across town. We are budget travelers and the Seacrest is very good value. The facilities are a bit worn but the room was clean as are the linens and towels. The beds are great. The building is old so it has some quirks but nothing i couldn't live with. Michael and Amber are very friendly and helpful. Michael upgraded us to lager room on our arrival. Thanks Michael. During our trip, the ferry couldn't operate because of high surf on our departure so we had to extend our stay a day. Amber was able to l books another night in our room with a "stranded" rate (less than half of our room rate) which we appreciate so much. That helped us enjoy our unexpected extension.

This hotel is a converted house. Very charming and clean. I had the mermaid room which is located outside the main entrance. It’s a small room max 2 people. The bathroom is standing room only for one person. If you are a big person you may not want this room. The shower is really small, half size. We like the fact the room is on the first floor with its own entrance on the side of the building. The noise level was high because of all the golf cart motors and construction. The hotel does provide ear plugs. If you are a light sleeper you may not want this room. I also love this hotel because of the location, balcony view of the marina, use of the grill on top or the balcony. Vons is just a block away. Mini golf a block, bars one block away. All very close. I would return again.

Our stay at the Seacrest inn was great! We arrived early (10am) but check in wasn't up until 4pm, previous to arriving they advised us we might be able to check in early if the room was available and it was! the walk from the ferry was only a 5 minute walk (no walk up a hill either) which was super convenient since we had our luggage's. We stayed in the wicker roses room, it was small but perfect for a getaway for a couple. The room has a heater/AC unit, iron/ironing board, microwave, mini fridge, TV/cable, hair blow dryer and an extra pillow and blanket. The place was CLEAN upon arrival, It even smelled clean when we first walked in. Be advised it's not exactly in a quiet area but we didn't mind as it does tend to quiet down in the night time. The roof has a deck that has chairs, tables & a BBQ/ grilling area, again it looked clean up there as well Everything is within a mile radius walk from the Inn, it took us maybe 20 min tops to get places that weren't exactly close to our stay. 10/10 would recommend and would definitely come back. BTW : these pictures were taken right before check out time so the place looks a bit messy :)

our go to place in avalon
we really like this inn. it is centrally located, a 2-3 min. walk to anything and everything you may want or need. plenty of restaurants in town. our host michael upgraded us upon check-in, which was nice! the inn is old school, as is most of the hotels in avalon, but the rooms here are very clean and very cozy. we especially like the top roof deck, it is the highest elevation in the center of town so you can have 360 degree view of the whole town and harbor. a great place to have your coffee in the morning or drinks in the evening and view all of the city lights!

My husband and I stayed at this property for our 2 year anniversary trip. It was exactly what we were looking for as we tend to be people who spend a lot of time out and about exploring. We enjoyed the sunset from the rooftop and thought the service was exceptional. Michael was very accommodating during our entire stay. He has a water refill station which was really helpful as we went hiking and exploring over the weekend. Also our room came with a fridge and microwave as well as a coffee maker which was greatly appreciated!
