"First time in Catalina and we were happy with our choice to stay at the Pavilion. The location was perfect right on the main strip but close to the ferry, so it was easy to get to & from with luggage. Great restaurants nearby. The hotel was clean in the rooms and grounds. They washed the walkways daily. The staff was nice and helpful on restaurant suggestions and info on the island. We enjoyed the daily happy hour with complimentary wine and cheese.
