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.

Overall, it was good! Very conveniently located near the shops and restaurants. Staff was friendly! The only things we didn’t like are the following - room is very small - no air conditioning - balcony is weird. A window in our room is located on the balcony so people can see in. - Balcony only had two chairs and one table - No elevator - it was somewhat dirty You get what you paid for. Overall, it was good!
