No one answers the emergency line and their mailbox was full. No one was ever at the front desk- even 15 minutes before checkout and they close super early . No one cleaned the room or even replaced towels and toiletries. The room was cold and the beds only had sheets and a stingy blanket. The ocean view was obscured by trash and storage of broken patio furniture. Yeah… not going back.

The hotel was just perfect. We wanted to stay in Catalina but didn't have unlimited funds. The rooms were very clean. Beds were comfortable and the pillows were amazing! The bathroom is very small but you only need for a couple reasons. There are 3 floors and we stayed on the 3rd. Carrying suitcases was a little difficult but that was worth it to be on the top floor. Great view and front desk was very nice. Definitely would bring my family and stay here again.

Very fun, quirky hotel. We did have a ghost in our room though, which kept turning on our light in the middle of the night but once we acknowledged it, it stopped and let us sleep. Same thing happened to two other people from our group, they said the same thing happened to them - seems to be a friendly ghost.
