I love to stay at this motel I have cancer and it is close to my cancer center and hospital in case of reactions but more than that the owners are a nice family it is well lit at night and the beds are comfortable. I enjoy that there is cole park close by and peers to walk and enjoy the view this is the perfect place for me
It's well lit you feel safe and it's quiet . Perfect location for my chemo treatments and get back to rest and walk a bit on the peer. The staff is curtious and helpful
Nice, quiet, and small property without noisy or rowdy guests. It was a perfect location near the beaches and downtown. It's a basic motel without the amenities I never use anyways. Perfect home base for a quiet, relaxing weekend trip to the beach. I will stay there again.

Liked: Staff & service, room comfort
Great for the price!
The Catalina is perfect if you are looking for a place to rest between heading to the beach. Beds are clean and comfortable. It needs updating but for the price I can easily overlook it. We had two rooms and one had an overwhelming smoke smell, the other was a bit more updated and better.
