Our stay was pleasant. The setup of the hotel is very unique, in that the rooms are cottage style. However, the building looked and felt old, and the room we stayed in did not feel very clean. It looked like it had been renovated, but not a complete job. But, the service was great and helped us with whatever we needed. Overall, it was an ok spot to lay our heads at night, but I don’t think we’d stay there again unless they do something about the condition of the rooms/building.

Very convenient. Located right off of the main road and not steep. The cottage was old. There were patches on the wall and it could use a paint job on the interior. The bathroom is very small and hard to move freely. The fixtures are older. The bed was comfortable and there was a tv and Wi-Fi. I liked that each unit was a standalone unit. Staff were friendly. There was a refrigerator and microwave and small cooktop.

A perfectly located hotel that shows its age but has been well cared for. Great to have luggage storage for arrivals before check in and departures after check out times. Cabins have kitchens with a cooktop, good-sized refrigerator, and microwave. No coffee maker but its available in the lobby most of the time. They also smallish bathrooms and stairs, more than 20 to climb if you get one of the cabins at the top. Staff did great but were overwhelmed, at times, attempting to respond to all the requests received. The street can be very crowded with noisy and smelly carts since it leads to the intersection at the end of the pedestrians only portion of Crescent Avenue, but our rooms was quiet. Shops and dining options are very close and easily walkable. We brought our own bikes and there was limited room at the hotel to park them which was constantly full. Other options were close by.

My room was not fully cleaned - the shower had long dark hair clogging the drain - I have short blonde hair and frankly was disgusted to use the shower after I noticed the hair and dirt on the tiles. There are full time residents that also live in some of the cottages - one of these individuals had a dog and they were out all night and the dog was left alone - alone to howl all night long. It was terrible and you could not sleep. There is also only one window that looks out to the rickety stair case that everyone else uses… which was the setting for an mature photo shoot one night where flashes from the camera went wild threw the one window you are a lotted. Lots of wires exposed for all the appliances and really bad lighting. I’ve stayed in worse places on Catalina - and I’ve stayed at better. Def a middle of the road lodging.

Overall you would have thought this hotel was a youth hostel… it was filthy, worn out and had zero service. You would at least expect the bathroom to have a sink and be clean- nope sink as right next to the foot of the bed- shower filled with mold, miss cut tile and peeling paint. We booked a room with two queen beds, we were given a room with 1 Queen and a pull out sofa bed. Not only will we never stay there again, but this is the second time now where I have booked something on Expedia to end up having horrible service- as in none and/or completely misrepresented properties - the photos are laughable compared to what the actual property.
Beaten pull out bed..
Poor maintenance
Classy fan pulls…
Sofa Cushion on pull out bed when you open it to fold out..foam is disintegrating - which is hazardous..

We booked a cottage with a kitchen. The problems: 1 electrical outlet. 1. Fortunately my husband travels with an extension cord for his CPAP machine. The floor sagged and there were cracks everywhere. The bathroom sink was so small and the faucet was too big. It was impossible to use the sink without getting water all over the floor. We received 2 towels. 2. We asked for more towels every day. There was no housekeeping. None. The sheets were never changed. The kitchen was stocked with 2 plates, 1 wine glass, 1 coffee cup, 1 roll of paper towels. Useless. The cottage was very noisy. You could hear your neighbors and all the conversations from people walking by, and all the sounds from every car, truck, golf cart passing the hotel. The room was also really hot. The ineffective air conditioner made so much noise we couldn't talk when it was running. The good news: The awful cottage was very convenient. Very central. We got a late check out without any additional fees.
The view of the fence outside our window.
The very small sink. very small.
The kitchen without supplies.

The room was okay for our 2 night stay. There was an odd smell in our room and the floor was dirty. The staff was very kind when we asked for housekeeping to go in and mop our floors and when we asked for new sheets and towels. Hotel is a little outdated but it would be okay for a short term stay.

the cottage was really cute, the restroom was smaller than it looked in photos but that wasn’t too much of a problem. i enjoyed how we had a functioning kitchen in the room as well as appliances and utensils? they came in very handy. the bed, pillows, and blankets were also quite comfortable and soft. and it was very nice that we were able to leave our luggage in the luggage room even after check out so we could still explore the island before getting on the ferry to leave. overall i enjoyed my stay and would definitely stay here again

It’s basically a place to stay and nothing else. The beds are about as cheap as you can find, the bathroom is about the size of a closet, and the room has a view of a wall from all windows. It’s one of the cheaper places on Catalina island and you get what you pay for. Also, this room is tiny. Just enough space for two full size beds and that’s it.
