The room was quite small ,the Internet did not work. The TV did not work. The pipes in the bathroom sink made a very loud clunking noise. Every time the water was turned on. I would not recommend staying here , over priced for what you get .

The only thing difficult was that all the outlets were too loose to hold the plugs we had to plug in. All else was fine.

I think I'm being generous with the 2 star. The only reason for the 2 star is the close proximity to the main drag. Zero ocean view unless you get suite. The patio was really dirty and old furniture. Cigarette and cigar butts all over the place on the patio. The building is not kept up very well. Hardly any amidites what so ever. So called continental breakfast was sad. Had to pay for small water bottle. Just kind of seemed like the staff didn't want to be bothered. The rooms are very dated. The 2 chairs look like they came from the 60's. Very old, cracked and no padding. VERY uncomfortable. Don't know why they can't update the rooms. I was very disappointed. I expected more. I will defiantly pay up for a better place next time. 8.4 rating on Expedia is very misleading.

Good location, but that’s about all…
Our room had ants and several spiders in the bathroom, as well as a rattling AC unit that kept us up all night. Aside from that, they put us in the room right next to the front office which faced the main road… the road noise was so loud all night. The car lights shone through the window all night long as well, which was difficult to look past considering that the one main wall in the room had 2 huge windows with very thin curtains. We asked to change rooms after our first night and they couldn’t accommodate a room switch even though they informed us that they did have another double queen room on the premises is that was intended for another guest later that evening. Overall super disappointed in this hotel.

Rooms were old, but my biggest issue would be the no elevator and it’s hard for strollers, luggages, and wheel chairs. We had our sign out for maid to clean and they never cleaned our room.

It was our first trip to Catalina island, and this hotel was perfect for where I was. We were able to walk to everything and enjoy the island, the room, so comfortable and clean.

The rooms are large. The room was clean, except for the mold in the grout around the tub. The hallways were filthy. The stairwells had layers of dried, spilled beverages. Disgusting.

A great find
A really cute place with super nice staff!! Karen was so helpful, the room was spacious, enough off the main strip that it's quiet (but still close to everything), and everything was clean. Would definitely stay again.
