My wife and I discovered the Zane Grey about 7 years ago and have come here at least once or twice a year ever since. If you want luxury, go somewhere else. If you want a full breakfast, go somewhere else. If you want the best amenities, go somewhere else. However, if you want a quiet, very relaxing hotel with... More

Ask for the Tonto Rim room. Absolutely incredible view of Avalon Harbor. The hotel is a bit dated, but if your expectations are realistic, this hotel offers a tremendous Catalina experience. Very nice common areas to sit and read, enjoy the ambiance or just "veg" It's close to the chime tower, but not to worry; the chimes don't ring past... More

I have been coming to this very special place atop the hill in Avalon, located right next to the bell tower that chimes for the last six years or so--each time I need to get away from my daily grind and get transformed from inside out! One single day stretches into non-ending hours and hours and seems like eternity to... More

Twenty years ago today, my husband and I got married on the patio at this lovely property. This evening, my husband surprised me with dinner on that same patio. A HUGE thank you to Michael, the manager, who has such a romantic soul! We spent our fifth year anniversary in one of the original rooms (the Purple Sage) and intend... More

This old hotel is in a wonderful location overlooking Avalon and the bay - and that is the only good thing to say about it. It is very poor value and appears not to have been updated for at least 50 years. Heating was provided by a two bar electric fire for the bedroom. There was no heating in the... More

The Zane Grey is an interesting place. This was one of Zane Grey's homes. It has historical significance and there are photos and information about the late author. The best part about this hotel are the views. It's on top of Avalon overlooking the Harbor and surrounding hills. The views from the rooms are wonderful regardless of location. The property... More

First of all, I dislike Catalina, so keep that in mind. Next, remember I was in Catalina by obligation for a wedding, and this was the only hotel on the island with an available room. Now, the review. The Zane Grey Pueblo Inn desperately clings to an idealized world of yesteryear, when people didn't have televisions, mobile phones, or AIR... More

For $180, we had a gorgeous view of the bay and ocean beyond. And you are away from the noise of downtown Avalon. And the pool is lovely to swim in. A lovely porch exists out back. I even read a Zane Grey novel. BUT, the rooms have tiny bathrooms with old wood in the medicine cabinets, thin towels, old... More

View was the only thing good about this hotel. For 200$ Imagine an apartment complex in the ghetto, decorated with all the cheap trinkets you can buy as you cross the Mexico border and you are at the Zane Grey. Walls peeling, dingy carpet from the 70's, feral cat's all over, and super thin walls. Great view with only 1... More
