Excellent location, with rooms around a quiet courtyard above the waterfront. The rooms have everything you need - coffee, fridge, etc. The staff are friendly and helpful. The continental breakfast (pastries, yogurt, OJ) was a nice bonus.

The area was easily accessible and we loved that the patio was closed with the door so our grandson, who is a toddler, could walk around and not accidentally fall down the stairs. He enjoyed the stay as much as we did! He also really enjoy looking at the walkway

Overall perfect hotel for a quick weekend visit to Catalina. Bed was reasonably comfortable. Bathroom was a little dated and small but for a 2-3 day visit it was fine.
