The staff was very friendly and helpful. The hotel location is great. The price also was fantastic.The hotel is very old and the walls are thin. So the rooms are small, the plumbing is not the greatest, and you can hear the TV through the wall from the next room. They also do not have air-conditioning. However, we did not need the air-conditioning at all on our trip. They do have community balconies at the front of the hotel on all three levels that has a nice ocean view. Overall, we had a great stay, especially for the price.

Shower water cold the first day but fine that night after I called front desk. Bathroom is old, no counter space including small sink and floor cold. Living area fine with bed, tv, closet and dresser drawers though needed heater on to stay warm. No microwave in room but had fridge. Did have shared microwave area. But good value for Catalina accommodations.

The staff is amazing! They took great care of us during our stay on the island. The room was quiet and very peaceful. It is an older hotel, but one I would stay at again. Unless you’re looking for top amenities, this is a solid choice.

We were given a room (305) that I assume they don’t rent out often because when we arrived there was mold on the toilet seat (under the toilet seat cover. The lid of the tank didn’t fit so it would be jostled around when using the toilet. I took the lid off and saw mold in there as well. The internet didn’t reach our room though it said it was connected. The bed and linens were clean! It was nice to have an older style wall heater so we could easily control the temperature. The furnishing are quite dated and worn including the ceiling fan. Not sure how a ceiling fan can be worn but the finish was coming off.
