Hotels with Kitchenettes in Catalina Island from $171

"The pictures make this place seem nicer then it actually is. It's pretty run down. Firstly I did not realize what a steep hill it's on, it was not easy hiking up it with all our luggage, beware it's steep. It would have been nice to know that more. The absolute best thing is the view from the corner king room we got. You do see the ocean from there. But because of those windows you get light flooding in the room by the porch light that gets left on all night. The windows are not blackout curtains, they are curtains from the 70's at least (bring eye shades of you need it dark). You get what you pay for I suppose. The floor is so loud and wavey, makes you feel drunk. The bed is soft, loud as well and very bouncy. We didn't use the kitchen but the fridge made a terrible noise all night long (bring ear plugs). AC/heat was another terribly noisy thing, we actually didn't even use it the whole time we were there, because it never seemed to actually do anything but make noise."
