The view from our room was fantastic! Beautiful view of the island and the water! Only had two issues the remote for the bedroom television was broken and we couldn't find a remote for the fire place. There were no instructions on how to use the fireplace and we made sure we had a room with a fireplace. Didn't ruin our stay at all but snuggling next to the fireplace would have been lovely!

We are 82 and 83 years old. Upon arrival, the desk clerk helped us carry our bags upstairs (31 steps), but upon leaving, no help was offered. The place is very run down and we will not stay there again. In one patio, 3 of 4 chairs had torn seats. The tub in our bath needed recalking. Furniture was scratched. The soda machine had no soda. The ice machine had no ice. Soap, shampoo and conditioner were supplied, but no lotion. There was no coffee machine in the room and the clerk claimed the City of Avalon prohibited it; however, at least one other hotel there does have in-room coffee. There was a refrigerator, but we didn't find it until we left, as it was hidden in a closet. "Breakfast" was coffee only plus a protein bar. The TV channel offerings were very limited, and no list of channels was available. STAY AWAY!

Steve, this is charlie. I helped you with your bags. I had asked my staff and he said you didn't request help with your bags upon checking out

The management was friendly and helpful. The property is in a quiet location and just a 2 minute walk from Avalon's shopping and dinning district. There is a great view from the shared sun deck on our floor.

It was cozy, clean and welcoming. Not fancy but one does not come to Catalina for the room but for outdoor experience. My only recommendation would be to update bedding.

The view is a crock. Our room and most rooms had no view. When I asked the manager what happened to the view shown in the picture, he said I didn't check the box for a view. Also, hope you don't have partiers next door. We could hear everybody checking in. The staff was nice (though management not helpful).

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with us. We are sorry to hear you were not satisfied with the value you got out of the hotel stay. As a resort island, Catalina provides a unique laid-back, Mediterranean atmosphere close to the LA metropolitan area. Due to the seasonality and other difficulties, the hotels on the Island typically have higher room cost than similar hotels on the mainland. Our hotel (Casa Mariquita) prides itself in offering one of most affordable rooms while maintaining a high standard of customer service. We wish you well in your future travel plans and thank you again for staying with us.
