Our friends and us had a lovely time on Catalina Island. Bellanca was at the end of the main street vs the other hotels within the main street above restaurants and shopping areas, this made the hotel quiet and away from hustle and bustle. Everything is within a short few minutes' walk. The main street is along the bay front; The view was spectacular. Our hotel was charming and had a Mediterranean feel. The rooms were clean and fresh, nice amenities, Keurig coffee maker (so nice), the bed was comfortable. Overall, the Bellanca hotel stay was perfect. They had bikes you could use, beach chairs as well. The staff were very friendly. We highly rec. Bellanca Hotel.

The perfect location! Very simple rooms in a very convenient spot. The entrance to some of the rooms is a sliding glass door that faces the main courtyard. Unfortunately if anyone speaks or breaths in the courtyard they feel like they are in your room. Good AC, small shower, clean rooms with comfy beds.

This was my first time going to Catalina. Normally I don’t spend $500-600 per night on a hotel, unless I’m staying at the Westin in Maui. This is a very cute, clean, boutique style hotel, but I feel like it was too expensive for what we got. The positives about this hotel are that it’s right across the street from the water, has a cute rooftop deck, offers beach chairs, and beach cruiser bicycles, and the bed and pillows were some of the most comfortable I’ve ever slept on. The downside is that there’s no soundproofing whatsoever so you can hear every noise from your neighbor flushing, their toilet to kids stomping up and down the stairs at all hours and running around and yelling and screaming. The good news is that everybody seemed to respectfully observe quiet hours from 10 PM to 8 AM. The hotel restaurant has good food. I had the crabcake eggs Benedict and they were some of the best crabcakes I’ve ever had. The first day our female server was phenomenal. The second day our male server wasn’t too great. The bartenders are smug and unfriendly, so I only went to the bar one time and went elsewhere the rest of the time. The front desk staff is easily accessible, helpful and friendly. If it were $350 per night, I would definitely return to this hotel but I don’t think I would stay here again if it were above that price point. I’d rather stay somewhere with soundproof rooms or a private condo that comes with a golf cart.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Found hairs in restrooms toilet was not cleaned well. Shower tiles grout and seal of areas were yellowed and exposed cracks. Maybe lazy cleaning crew not sure. Drywall cracks that should be fixed. Room 107. The coffee pod are no good and a bit old maybe. The should try Pete’s Major Dickason’s blend.

Every time we visit Catalina, we make sure to stay at this place. It’s one of our absolute favorites! After our wedding, we decided to have a mini moon because our big honeymoon to Thailand isn’t until January. So, my husband suggested that as long as we stay at Bellanca, I’m all set for a mini moon in Catalina.
