It was very close by to all the main areas and the beach in Catalina. It's kid friendly and staff members are very friendly, that when we got there early we were able to leave our luggage until our check-in time to explore before checking into our room

One of my favorite hotels here. The staff couldn’t be any nicer and helped me with my luggage to the room on the third floor just a little bummed. I had a cold shower for two days as the hot water wasn’t working, but other than that everything I was so comfortable and soft which I so appreciated.

The location is perfect! Our room had a nice view. Bathtub had some cracks in the enamel. Beds were not comfortable and sheets were basic, but clean.

The lights kept turning on randomly in the night, the bed was uncomfortable, the "view" was obscured by dirty windows and screens, the shower was a trickle

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room was surprisingly small, more like a walk-in closet. The sink was positioned just 7 inches away from the bed, not in the bathroom. The room was completely bare, devoid of any essential items like tissues, cups, an alarm clock, or even an ice bucket. The lady offered me a plastic bag for ice, but the front desk was closed, leaving me completely alone and unable to get any assistance. I wouldn’t stay there again
