We did not want to leave the hotel and island at all. I like that we were far enough from the busy area but close enough to the water to wave the cruise ships goodbye!

Hotel is a great location at the end of the main strip. Clean. Updated. Staff was ok. The food onsite was ok. For price point and cleanliness we would stay again. However, Catalina lacks quality food overall so it will be awhile before we go back.

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.
