Excellent Hotel and staff. Was a wonderful experience and will definitely stay there again on our next trip to Catalina. The property was well-maintained, in excellent condition, and decorated exceptionally well. Rooms are small but very classy and comfortable. The staff was very friendly, accommodating, and outgoing. Will be back!

Great location. Check in was easy with some options to use discounts on local restaurants. They give you $20 to spend but you have to use it the day of check in (fine print) or else it's not honored. Rooms are nice-smaller side but clean and efficient.

Over all a nice place to stay. Very convenient location in the town center. A few things that were annoying was the bedside lights were either on or off. no dimming and no ability to put one on and not the other. May sound like a small thing but my husband likes to stay up later than me and I had to go to sleep with all the lights on. There was also minimal bathroom amenities. no Lotion etc. For the price of the room I would have expected more. But over all it was all good..
