Staff was so friendly ! They really made me and my fiancée feel welcomed! They’re the main reason I’ll come back to this hotel. The rooms was really clean. Loved that it was close to the water. Since the rooms are upstairs you don’t get the noise from the streets

I was amazed, first of all this was my first time in Catalina island and of course I didn’t know what to expect. I had seen good reviews about hotel Mac Rae and I was very surprised how cleaned this hotel is, the staff so friendly especially Maria she was above and beyond she answered my questions, also Gustavo was very friendly and welcoming plus they offer a continental breakfast 👍 I recommend it ❤️

The staff was super friendly and helpful. It was so nice to be able to store our luggage after checkout so we could continue exploring on our last day before it was time for our ferry. The room was small and a little outdated, but very comfortable and quiet. Perfect for the 2 nights we spent there. Perfect location, central to everything!
