This property is in real need of attention. The room was reasonably clean except for the dust covers, they did not look clean. Carpets are old and worn, missing towel bar with holes in the wall. The door lock was not secure, door didn't close properly and so we used both the extra locks. Hallway carpets were rather dirty with dried mud. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Needs some TLC. Adequate for a night though.

The only pleasant experience was with the woman at the front desk. This is my second time staying here and the fiirst time i was charge a 20$ pet fee for my certified PSA animal. i was given this room that fhe shower was clearly leaking in the wall there was filthy mold all on top around the shower not to mention i dont think they have xleaned that room ever the blankets were filthy. The walls looked as if someone had spit like ketchup or fruit juice all over them. It was beyond gross i figured it was only for one night just to shower and sleep. I had to scrub the shower abd toilet before I used them and the cloth was black after i cleansmed them. Absolutely ridiculous, then i went to leave and tge door did not lick so i didnt even need a key for room 117 neither would anyone else just go straight in take what you will. My cousin called the fromt desk told them the door did not lock the man came to the room and i asked him a question and he waved his hand in my face to dismiss me and told ne he was going to give the man a new room. Well it was my room that i booked and he wouldnt even speak to me then i said dont talk to me like that and he got ruder. Soni told hin his motel was absolutely filthy he told me then dont come there... really great management skills then when i asked him about illegally charging ne a pet fee for a registered service animal last time i stayed he got even ruder tokd me he dont know how long we had the room for but we were not switching rooms wow

I had an incredible experience at the Catalina Inn! From the moment I arrived, the staff was warm and welcoming. They went above and beyond to make sure I had everything I needed and made my stay truly enjoyable. Their kindness and attention to detail did not go unnoticed. The rooms were spotless and very comfortable, providing a relaxing and peaceful environment. It’s clear that the staff takes pride in keeping the place clean and well-maintained. Overall, I had a great time and would highly recommend the Catalina Inn to anyone looking for excellent service and a comfortable stay. I’ll definitely be returning!

Property needs a major refresh on all fronts. Hallway carpeting needs replacing or major cleaning, I normally exercise on the floor in the AM, but didn't feel comfortable doing this as the flooring looked unclean. The complete building in and out could use paint and refreshing. Breakfast was okay but could be improved. the fruit looked terrible. I would not subject my family to staying here. this was a solo trip, and it was close to my activities, so I selected the property for myself knowing what I would be getting.
