The hotel was lovely, and the gentleman at check-in was so welcoming and hospitable. The location is perfect—just a short walk to all the fun things Catalina has to offer. I’d definitely stay here again!

We stayed in room 203. A decent size family suite. Does not have any views from the room, but is very close to the Main Street. The main advantage is the location. Considering that the island has limited mobility (no rental cars), the location of the hotel is a major advantage. Unfortunately, there are no elevators, if you have a room on the third floor, be ready to climb up a lot of stairs.

We stayed in the balcony ocean front room for three nights and loved it. It was slow season and we got a great rate. The View was amazing. As other people have noted, the walls were fairly thin so when we had neighbors we could hear people. Bring your plugs like you should anywhere short of the Four Seasons. This location was fabulous, half a block from the ocean and about half a mile from the ferry terminal. There were easy shuttles if you sign up for the app to get around to Wrigley Monument and other local places in town. The folks at the front desk were super nice. We loved it and look forward to coming back.

We really appreciated the convenience of being able to check in early, leave our belongings safely near the entrance, and then continue exploring the island. This was especially helpful since we had a late departure.

Stayed at the hotel with my wife for a night. We really enjoyed it. The receptionist was very helpful; she even contacted us and let us know that the room was ready earlier than we expected. The room was clean and huge! Balcony, fireplace, king bed—everything was made to enjoy the stay. Dear management, please reward your staff; they are worth it!

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
