clean and friendly staff. It was an uphill walk, because we walked to hotel. Not sure I would stay there again only for that reason. there are no Ubers in Catalina. really there is no need, almost everything walking distant. But if you get a ride or dont mind the uphill walk, cute little place. rooms were also small.

Every thing was great! The room is smallish but comfortable. There is a balcony with a view but it’s only 2ft deep so really not possible to sit on it. The roof top deck is terrific and we enjoyed bkfst and a glass of wine later in the day out there. The staff is friendly and helpful. The only caution is that there is a short hill ( maybe .25 miles) leading to it. For some dragging a bag up it can be difficult.
