The staff was so helpful! They went above and beyond to help my husband with his duty in getting snacks and drinks for the paddlers. Shout out to Amber, Michael, and Nicole in assisting him with shopping and transporting the goodies from Vons to the pier. We so appreciate you and will definitely be back as our go-to place to stay while in Catalina.

Our room was so cute and we even had a jet tub! Just what I needed after a couple days of camping. The location is perfect and walkable to everything and the rooftop fuse was a bonus. Staff was really nice and allowed us to store our luggage.

110 year old house converted into a hotel. Quirky, but in need of proper renovation. Shower/tubs were in chipped, corroded condition and shower heads were fouled with mold and deposits. The staff was pleasant and they moved me to another room, which was bigger but no cleaner. More reasonably priced than other places on the island but about a 7.0, definitely not a 9+.

We loved the hotel!! It was super close to the main strip and convenient to get to places around the island. Michael in the front office was very kind and accommodating to us and even let us leave our luggage there after we checked out until our ferry ride home. DO NOT LOCK THE DEAD BOLT! We made that mistake and had to ask Michael to open it again. The door is a bit tricky, but ultimately it was a great room for a reasonable price.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Staff was very friendly, room was very clean. Room was a little noisy because it faces the street, but they did provide ear plugs which was a nice offer. Love that they have beach towels to use! One thing I would recommend to staff is a mattress topper added to the bed because the bed sinks in the middle so it was hard for 2 to sleep comfortably.
