No frills hotel

Overall this hotel worked for the weekend - we only wanted to stay one night in Catalina and most hotels required a 2 night stay. Hotel St Lauren allowed for one night so we went with it. But this is a no frills hotel and they charge pretty crazy prices for what you get. I would pay the extra money and get a balcony - beautiful view and made up for the spartan nature of the rest of the room. I saw into a room with no view and it was pretty depressing looking. Overall I agree with the other reviews but if you only want to stay one night, this is a decent option and I think all the hotels in the area are this expensive. Don’t expect anything fancy.

Solid location. Easily walkable. Rooms are super basic but have everything you need. There was some construction going on across the street. But on the weekend wasn’t too noticeable. Was high season in Catalina so solid bang for buck here if you don’t mind more average room and amenities

Up on the hill with great views, we liked this charming pink historic hotel. Excellent rooftop patio, plus we splurged for a private balcony with ocean views. The amazing views made this an attractive place to stay. AC worked great! Room was good sized with nice storage and large fluffy towels. Bed was very firm. Grocery store just a block away. This is a bit away from the busy shopping streets, but be aware the loud golf carts drive right past the hotel, especially in the evening. From here you can hike to the Chimes Tower.
