It’s cozy and really has the island vibe around it. Locals are friendly and getting a taxi was so easy. Coke machine doesn’t work so don’t put money into it. Room is older but clean. Most Imporantly!!! THE MATTRESS WAS SOFT and comfortable 😃

If you like self service. This is the place “Front desk” is a tiny booth theoretically open from 9-6 but reality is you have to call their cel phone Don’t sleep in or you won’t get your room cleaned. No soap in shower but you can use shampoo for hand soap. Clerk was nice when we called him. Need strong wrists to turn off shower or else bring a pipe wrench. AC was full blast or turned into heater

The stay was not the best it was not clean at all very down graded and dirty. Not comfortable to sleep either. Very stuffy even with AC and fans running. We would not stay here again. It smelled like weed the whole time as well.

I've seen worse, but also a lot better.

No one at front desk, although we arrived at 3 pm. Key was left for us. Beds and pillows were very uncomfortable, creaky, stiff, lumpy. Bathroom was clean except for mold on shower door.

Air conditioner wasn't working upon arrival, worked on it for 1/2 hour, then waited on staff's "lunch" break to get over for an hour, then finally texted office number with issue, told "be there in a minute, waited another half hour for staff to show up, took yet another 1/2 hour to get running. Woke up Sunday morning to dead cockroach on bathroom floor. but pretty nice overall.

Do not pay market rate!!!

Do not pay full price or even close to it for this place. TV did not work. It had to be fixed each day but cable pixelated in the evening. WiFi was too weak to stream anything. I know, who goes to Catalina to watch TV? Well in the evenings after visiting bars and restaurants you may want to do that. Anyway the toilet stuck, the bathroom fan did not work, many plug ins did not work and were old. I moved bed to plug in cpap and saw lots of dust bunnies and a few stains. So here’s the good stuff: the kitchen had nice plates and glasses, the decor was nice, the cleaning staff was nice. The owner/manager was not to be bothered and thought a sign on the registration window excused him from being attentive and of course it is your fault if you do not read the sign. He is busy fixing up the place. Just no this is not worth the money you pay. I’m ok with all the problems if I was paying a discounted rate or was compensated for trouble. But no offer was given and when suggested they did not reply. Please stay somewhere else b
