Had an amazing experience last summer here, great location, friendly staff, and our room was fantastic. Staff here was ultra attentive. Everything felt modern and cozy. I love the whole decor and vibe of this place, would stay here again in a heartbeat!

I usually stay at this place at least twice a year, when we run the 10K Catalina Island Marathon.

Room was gorgeous and spacious, very clean, and a perfect walking distance from the main strip of restaurants and shops. Staff was friendly, helpful, and welcoming. Lovely place. Stayed there a few times now, and it's the same great experience.

I chose this because it was out of the way. There is a shuttle but stops before 8pm. If you are not into nightlife,this is your hotel. Breakfast was ok

The hotel was just ...

The hotel was just what we were looking for. We rented the 1st floor King room with patio and a fireplace. Let me tell you, the room is huge, clean, and really nice. The staff was friendly. Check in is 4pm, but they do allow you to store your luggage while you wait and even offer a call option if your room is ready early. This hotel is near everything. Literally :) food, activities, shopping, and just steps off the boardwalk.

This place is super ...

This place is super cute & well done. Their Reno updates the rooms while keeping some of it’s quaint 1900’s vibe. Though there’s no elevator, the walk up (we’re on the fourth floor), offers architecture & finishes to look at as you go. There’s also a small balcony 1/2 way up with a water feature that faces the street. The room is comfortable & the bed was clean. Loved their choice of toiletries, very fitting for this area. The coffee could use some work...if I had to complain, very weak. Have not had much interaction with the staff but upon returning to our room, they did ask if we would like our room serviced later (we had the do not disturb placard on the door). We said no as we’re only here 2 nights & we want to do our part to conserve water. This Inn is centrally located & very easy to get to area shops/attractions. The view from our room is phenomenal & so relaxing to sit out in the balcony to watch the world go by. We have to return to California in December so I think we will come back here for the bulk of our stay.

Exceeded expectations! Friendly staff, tastefully decorated, and close to everything. Our private balcony provided us a pleasant view of the bay. We would definitely book here again.

This hotel exceeded our expectations. The hotel is kept up very well and is simply charming. The staff were very friendly. We had a great view of the water from our room on the 4th floor. There is no elevator, so if you can't manage stairs I'd ask for a room on the lower floors. My wife has been to Catalina multiple times and stated that this property was exceptional for the island.
