Zane Grey Pueblo Hotel, hotel in Avalon

Located in Avalon, Zane Grey Pueblo Hotel has a seasonal outdoor swimming pool, terrace, restaurant, and free WiFi throughout the property.

This place is amazing. The staff were great. The shuttle service was spectacular and they held our luggage after check out and delivered it to the ferry before our departure. We were lucky - on arrival that our room was ready and we got an early check in. No hauling of bags. The room was clean with spectacular views. We got the king suite with ocean view. Sometimes just splurge! You deserve it!! To our surprise, the breakfast was above the norm. Amongst the normal spread there was a warm meal. It included scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, and potatoes! The staff that provided shuttle service gave us some tips on how to get downtown by foot. It’s super easy and all steps were downward, but the different views of the island were just fabulous. While visiting, do think about visiting the Casino (never actually been a gambling establishment) and the art museum. In that order too. You get the history lesson in the casino, then the artifacts in the museum. Over all great experience and will do it again.

    I loved the calm relaxing vibe.

    I loved the calm relaxing vibe. It felt like a quaint sea side village from the past. Everything was very clean and the walking on the beach frontage or the walk to the casino were very pleasant for us seniors. I also saw young families with small children which appeared to be ideal for that phase of family life because the beach is so close. I hadn't been to Avalon for over 20 years and was extremely happy with the way it has evolved and the pleasant atmosphere. Enjoyed it very much, but if I come back with my young adult grand daughters, they would probably want to do more of the activities which are available.

    Our observation of Avilon is that is evolving.

    Our observation of Avilon is that is evolving. There are more small cars. The businesses seem to be sustainable and pretty much thriving, and all is a positive experience. Catalina is a mere 27-30 miles from where we live in So CA, but it could be HI, South of France or Southern Italy. I think, just go there with the intent of slowing down and enjoying slower time and removing yourself from the balance of hectic life elsewhere. It is a good place to relax.

    We visited at start of January (still school holidays) and found reduced restaurant and shop options. Restaurants tended to close early. Easy 1hour comfortable ferry crossing to island with Catalina Express from Long Beach. Saw dolphins en route. Just few minutes walk to main town, shops, restaurants and many hotels from ferry terminal. Plenty of walks, but hilly. Fabulous views & plants/wildlife. Mostly golf carts or bikes and limited cars/local mini bus to get around. Easy access to public restrooms around Avalon. Would visit spring onwards for future visit.

    Avalon can be magical to visit for a couple of days. Lots of activities, food options, and shopping. It's charming and beautiful. The M restaurant is one of my favorites, with good breakfast and lunch options. At dinner, it's a good Italian restaurant.

    I loved being just a few yards from the water, restaurants and shopping. The whole area - in spite of the cloudy weather - is simply beautiful and picturesque. We enjoyed both walking and biking through the hills nearby. Avalon is my new "go to" spot for relaxing!!

    We absolutely loved this beautiful property. The location is gorgeous and it was so relaxing to sit on the balcony and enjoy the peacefulness and beauty of Catalina Island. The kids had a blast playing Connect4- the hosts clearly have gone out of their way to make sure that kids and adults enjoy their stay. Everything was very clean and comfortable. it was great to have a kitchen and laundry area available- made our lives very easy! we can’t wait to stay here again.

    The location is not too far out of the way to be inconvenient. It’s a short walk from the main streets of Catalina. I am not yet elderly so I did enjoy the steep walk back, but I could see how it might inconvenience other guests. The beers and micheladas at the hotel bar were well priced and delicious. All of the staff was extremely friendly and helpful. I even saw a deer eating from a tree right outside the hotel. Very beautiful atmosphere.

    When I initially booked the room for the weekend of the Catalina Marathon, I was just trying to find a convenient room that could act as a decent meeting spot for family that was running in the event. Much to my surprise, I checked in and was treated to Suite 1 which was far more than I was expecting. The view from the balcony was amazing, and the little kitchenette ended up being perfect for the couple days I was on Avalon.

    Nice room with a « jacuzzi bath tub », plenty of good coffee, and access to a very well equipped roof top with a nice view on Avalon, the mountains and the sea. I appreciated the watermelon welcome, to be able to check in early and to leave my luggage the day of my departure, as well as enjoying the roof top while waiting for my late ferry. Definitely a place I will go back to.

    I recently had a delightful stay at Catalina Island. Allison, the property manager, made our experience exceptional. Her warm greeting at the pier and assistance in getting to the condo set a positive tone. She even sang Happy birthday to my daughter upon our arrival. The complimentary golf cart added a fun touch, and the condo’s proximity to the beach was convenient.

    The staff was great, everyone from the person at check-in to the housekeepers, the drivers who took us to the hotel and dropped off our bags, who handled the breakfast area—everyone was very helpful. I can only recall the names of Carlos, José and Daniel, but the latter's wife and her sister were also stellar and went above and beyond in their service.

    We visited Catalina Island for our honeymoon, and the Zane Grey could not have made our experience any more perfect. They offered private transportation to and from town, a delicious daily breakfast, and the staff were all exceptional. The views from the Zane Grey rooftop were absolutely breathtaking - we enjoyed our breakfast up there each morning.

    Staff is amazing. Location is second to none. Room was clean, comfortable and quiet. This is an amazing hotel with everything at your fingertips and walking distance. Continental breakfast needs to be upgraded a tad bit, but that is not a show stopper. We will be staying here again. 1st class facility, 1st class staff, 100% satisfaction!!!!

    We liked the vibe of the hotel. It was not luxurious at all but we were not looking for it. Clean place - that was the main focus. Closeness to the race start for us was also the one of the most important factors. Some great places to eat were very close, like 50 steps away, including coffee and breakfast. Would stay there again.

    When we book this hotel, it said it has it's own restaurant and bar, when we arrive, the staff said it was both closed. And the swimming pool was not heat up for the guest use, no body using the pool, and they covered the whirlpool as a sitting area.

    Loved the facility. Avalon was quite sold out for the 2 days we booked about 9 days before. Thought we were being overcharged but we were very pleased. Catalina has improved so much since the early 90s when I was last there.
