It works!

I’ve stayed at the Catrina several times while visiting family in the area. It’s clean, comfortable, affordable and convenient. Checking in, with someone on video is a wee bit dystopian, but it works. I recommend grabbing a bite act Heidi’s Pies nearby for some good old fashioned human interaction

I have stayed at Catrina several times, and it is my go-to when visiting family nearby. It’s clean and modern and affordable. The location works well for me, and there’s a ghost kitchen nearby to pickup takeout, or Heidi’s Pies for some good old-fashioned comfort food with lovely human interaction. If you can deal with the virtual front desk (they’re helpful and friendly!) it’s a good place to stay. As a tea drinker, I really appreciate the electric kettle.

I was on there one night but it was a great night. Check in was fast and easy (which was great because I was pretty tired). The room was nice and clean. But most importantly, it was quiet. The neighborhood was good. I walked across the street to the Japanese restaurant and got a great meal to go. Plenty of towels and complimentary coffee and water in the room. The bed was great! Lots of pillows (non with the Catrina skull like in the images, which was fine 😉). Definitely staying here again.

Very easy check in process after hours. I really like that the location is right next to major freeways and near good restaurants. Mostly why I choose to stay here. Price was reasonable and the property seemed safe to me. What I didn't like was that my room smelled like old shower or a poorly cleaned bathroom. I suggest the cleaning process be scrutinized and adjusted to keep the servicer accountable for the rooms being not only clean but smelling fresh. Hot shower after 5-8 minute wait for the water to heat to. I almost gave up! Lastly, some of the shutter blinds on my window were broken and didn't block out the light from the common area. I suggest adding curtains so this will never be a factor.

The room was very utilitarian. The beds were extremely comfortable and the best thing about the property. The bathroom was small but adequate. I would recommend this for business travellers but not for family stays.
