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.

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.

The standard room I booked was tiny with a very small standard bed a a view of an empty lot. The bathroom felt as small as the bathroom on a 747! This was very disappointing at a rate of $500 per night in October.

One of the best hotels to stay at on the island!! I can’t recommend this place enough. It’s very clean, modern, and well kept. The staff is incredibly welcoming and reliable. Parker and Melissa were very accommodating and gave great recommendations for food and activity on the island. The view of the ocean on the third floor gathering area is real treat too with lots of space. Also the continental breakfast was good, plenty of food, coffee, and juice. They served free wine and cheese on Friday. I highly recommend staying here than some of the other hotels, this place is probably the best bang for the buck, especially since it’s so close to the beach.

Such a convenient location, close to downtown. However it’s a little bit up a hill, which is also great as the views from their upper deck is beautiful! Also no elevators, and if you bring your Ebike they have a location for you to store it But it’s up a flight of stairs. There was a vacant lot next door so instead we locked our bikes there. Awesome continental breakfast, not just a bagel but eggs sausage, english muffins, cereals and mimosas! We really enjoyed our stay and will book again.
