The staff was excellent—took advantage of the complimentary beach chairs a couple times to go sit by the harbor. Location of hotel is great — right across street from harbor near all restaurants and shops. Room was clean and nice.

Staff was very friendly and helpful. Room was clean and despite being street side was quiet. Biggest disappointment was the restaurant. It closed early one day and didn’t open for breakfast on another. Easy walking distance to just about everything in Catalina.

It was a very overpriced room for the design/quality, but the bed was comfortable and the location is great. The hotel doesn’t have much in the way of amenities but the lobby bar is fun.

We had a great stay at the Bellanca Hotel! The staff was incredibly friendly, helpful, and welcoming from the moment we arrived. Check-in was smooth and quick, and the same goes for check-out—super easy and stress-free. They also allowed us to leave our baggage after checking out so we could continue exploring the island, which was a huge help and made our trip even better! Overall, a great experience and I would definitely stay here again!
