Beautiful little hotel, very airy and cute extras in the room I wasn't expecting but loved, like body butter and exfoliation. The balcony was worth the extra money and the view from the rooftop was incredible. Staff was very helpful and kind from texts before the trip and during. Would highly recommend.

The hotel was charming, and our balcony looked onto the ocean. The rooftop offered a panoramic view of the town, bay, and surrounding hills. The outdoor breakfast patio was very nice, with hummingbirds flitting around. He only downside was very weak water pressure in the shower, but everything else was wonderful.

Well maintained and CLEAN accommodation. Nicely decorated and appointed. Best part was the friendly staff who were personable and helpful with local knowledge information. I will definitely stay here next time I visit Catalina Island. The rooftop terrace is awesome on a clear night. The only improvement I could recommend would be a gas lit table or fire pit.
