Charming hotel

The hotel looks like it's been recently upgraded. It's pleasant. The rooms are good size. There were a couple of problems with the furniture - one of the cabinet doors was off the hinge and the drawer guide was sticking out. The water in the shower was hot, but not in the sink. It was still a nice place. They have a great outdoor area and are located close to 92 and 101 making it a convenient location.

It works!

I’ve stayed at the Catrina several times while visiting family in the area. It’s clean, comfortable, affordable and convenient. Checking in, with someone on video is a wee bit dystopian, but it works. I recommend grabbing a bite act Heidi’s Pies nearby for some good old fashioned human interaction
