Convenient location, walking distance to the main street. Very outdated, very small restroom, room didn’t look or smell very clean, missing standard toiletries, tv didn’t work. Front desk staff not very friendly, housekeeping staff very nice and helpful. It’s a climb uphill to hotel, if on a higher floor be aware there is no elevator.

Very unfortunate event

I couldn’t arrive to the hotel because when you booked they don’t explain that you need to book also the Ferry to get to your destination It was my first time booking hotel at the Island even I tried to contact them couple of times they didn’t answer I explained I couldn’t book Ferry for that day they’re not available they were booked already they just ignored my request for cancellation or get refunded I do even paid extra money for some sort of insurance they offered to prevent this out of your hand situation and for you not to lose your money it was a totally unacceptable situation and wrong decision towards getting my hotel money refunded back

A little too vintage for my husband and I

The hotel itself is a historic vintage hotel with almost no upgrades over the years at all, which adds to the authenticity and quaint feel but There are zero amenities such as coffee makers in room and air conditioning. The ocean view in our room was amazing and almost made it all worthwhile. But the bed and pillows were incredibly uncomfortable and old that neither of us slept at all. If you’re looking for quaint vintage Catalina this is for you but if you’re expecting any amenities or comfort, go elsewhere.

Deep sleepers sleep here

We are light sleepers so the walls being thin made it hard to sleep well, and every door closing, footsteps upstairs was clearly heard. Can't beat the pricing and location though compared to other places. So it's a great deal for deep sleepers.
