This hotel had what I wanted, quiet, sun decks, view, flowers and budget price. ( $75 mid week.) What I hadn't expected was there was NO shuttle, as advertised, and the uphill walk was an exausting 25 minutes. They do offer a free shuttle to and from the boat upon arrivel and departure, but NONE to get to Avalon for... More

sure, the hotel is small, the rooms are tiny and old - but the views are all worth it! compared to the other expensive hotels "downtown" this is a little jewel. you have a terrasse, pool, enough space to relax outdoors. also fridge, coffee making facilities, microwave, so no problem to be self-sustaining. would go there again next time!

What an amazing place! The view from the hill top overlooking the Pacific, Avalon and LA is incredible. This is where Zane Grey lived and so it appeals to visitors who want to step back in time and relive California before it was over developed. A great place to relax and unwind...Close enough to Avalon to enjoy all it has... More

My husband, 9-yr old grandson and myself stayed at the Zane Gray in August 2011. At first glance, the hotel was quaint, private and had an old-world feel. Old is the optimal word. Our room, the Sunset Pass, although affording a nice view of the hills, had carpet that was filthy and covered with black stains - it looked as... More

We stayed at the Zane Grey in July when we were on Catalina for a friend's 50th birthday. We liked the history of the place and I had read the reviews on TA, so it seemed like a good choice. Also, we could only come to Catalina for one night -- Saturday -- and, even though the website says it's... More

The first time I stayed at the Zane Grey was back in 1972 on my honeymoon! I can honestly say it really hasn't changed that much. They still have the pool shaped like an arrowhead, they still have one of the best views of the harbor from high atop the hill and they still don't have TV or phones in... More

The location of this hotel is superb. The old pueblo building is beautiful. Being away from the noise and tackiness of downtown Avalon is a godsend. The surrounding hillsides and wildlife is wonderful. However, the place is a dump. The pool decking is mostly covered in torn and stained indoor-outdoor carpeting looks like it had been there since the Nixon... More

We absolutely loved this hotel! The views are spectacular. If you are looking for peace and tranquility...this is the place to stay. We loved the fact that the hotel encourages guests to abide by the peaceful environment. We are planning to go back again. If you like history, this old house/hotel has plenty of it. That was one of the... More
