Aurora is a great boutique hotel in Avalon, on beautiful Catalina Island. I was reminded of hotels in European cities. They provided a very nice continental breakfast and on our Friday night visit a wine and cheese happy hour in the lobby. It was great.

The hotel was slightly off the main road in Aurora, but the quietness and helpful staff made our stay very pleasant. Everything was in walking distant

If you get the cheapest option in a last minute vacation, you are usually not getting a good room. This was the case. If you can afford the upgrade and a view, I highly recommend it. Rooftop was 5 ⭐️. Location was close to downtown and walkable from the dock. Clean and everything worked properly.

It’s a bit of a hike up the hill but the AC was great and the staff was personable and helpful and we could borrow beach towels everyday. The breakfast was basic but nice enough. On the weekend they had Mimosas. Satisfied with everything overall!

All the staff was super friendly, helpful and accommodating. Room was very clean. Ocean view was beautiful! Room was very small but really all I needed! Breakfast was yummy! Great location within walking distance to the zipline, shopping and restaurants.
