This place is a gem of Catalina Island! Kathleen is extremely responsive and accommodating. The inn was very clean and cozy, with lots of charm. It was tucked back from the hustle and bustle of town but still very close to everything you need. Perfect location. She left out fruit and croissants in the morning, which was lovely! Definitely stay here.

I was checking reviews to find a nice hotel for a special anniversary trip to Catalina Island (we lived and were married here 40 years ago) that wouldn't be too expensive and The Old Turner Inn was a wonderful find! Our three- day stay was extremely enjoyable. Food served at the morning breakfasts and the light appetizers at 5:00 varied every day, with a choice of red or white wine being a nice surprise. The small carafe of sherry in our room each afternoon was also added a touch of sophistication. ||We were a little nervous about how we would enjoy our first stay in a Bed & Breakfast, thinking we might like to keep to ourselves, but we thoroughly enjoyed visiting with the other guests who arrived and departed during our stay. Visiting with the owner and hearing stories of his family's life on the island is something we enjoyed and probably would not have had at a regular hotel.||The Old Turner Inn is for sale and I have no doubt the current owners will maintain the level of service and attention to detail that has earned them and "Excellent" rating on TripAdvisor. My sincere hope is that new owners will be found to carry on the legacy so we can return here on future visits to the island.

We have stayed at the Old Turner Inn multiple times over the last 2 decades and have never been disappointed. Whether Christa or Kathleen was at the helm, the welcome was always warm, the food spectacular, and the company engaging. As other historic establishments have been turned into over-priced "boutiques" stripped of their charm (looking at you, Zane Grey Pueblo!), the Old Turner Inn has remained a place that feels like home. It's by far the best hotel (and the best value) in Avalon.
