This hotel was a 10/10! Would definitely recommend this to anyone who is looking for a hotel to stay at in Catalina. The staff was extremely friendly! You get complimentary bikes, beach chairs, beach towels, and even a welcome drink from the bar! It’s right by all the stores and restaurants. Planning to come back soon!

Avoid! The staff here were so rude, unorganized and really do not want ppl here. Vacuums were left in a room, bed not made, staff at the bar yelled at us for standing in the lobby area, trying to charge us for a late check out when we were gone on time. Spent over $500 a night and you’d think it was a motel 6. So bad. The only thing good is the location.

Great location. Small attached restaurant is a convenient and satisfying breakfast/lunch option. The staff at the restaurant, management and women at the front desk were extremely curteous. Shout out to the front desk for how friendly, helpful, and reaponsive they were The rooms are as shown. They are a little small but up to date and well kept. Just a heads up that if you're not packing light there is no elevator to the second and third floors (or I never found it which would not surprise me). The door to our room was a slider which doesnt lend to the desired privacy some prefer. We did also hear a considerable amount of noise from the guests directly above us but in all fairness to the hotel I believe those guests were wearing cinderblocks for shoes. All in all for the price you cant beat the location. I'd likely stay again.

I loved this hotel. My husband and I did this as a weekend getaway for our 12 year wedding anniversary. I love the city I LOVED that everything was walkable! Didn’t have to worry about who was driving, because everywhere was like a 10 minute walk max!

Very nice hotel on a very good location. We enjoyed our visit. The reason I am not giving five stars was the way the night administrator handled the following situation: across from the hotel was a sitting area. A couple of drunk guys were screaming and playing super laud Mexican music. We weren't able to sleep because those guys were super loud. I went to the receptionist and asked he to help. She said "this guys are not on the hotels property and I can't do nothing". I then said that if I am going pay $220+ a night I deserve to sleep, and suggested that she calls the police. She PROMISSED to do that but she DID NOT. After a couple of ours of this loud madness, I went to the receptionist again. It was around 11:45pm. This time was a different receptionist. I explaiend again the situation and asked if the previous girl had called the police. It turned out that the previos receptionist NEVER BOTHERED TO CALL THE COPS and just left without even sharing the issue with her colegue. That is why I am not 100 percent happy. However, the second receptionist did call the cops and soon after the loud craziness stopped.
