Don’t waste your money.

The room was what I would refer to as the homeless special. Something you’d put someone in who just needed a place to sleep. There was a huge gap in the front door at ground level where bugs were getting in. Gap in ac area for bugs to get in. Wall paint peeling. Toilet seat broken, as well as toilet. Pee on the toilet still. No battery in fire alarm, the battery door was wide open. Broken closet door with piece of metal that could cut. No blow dryer and played stupid when I asked. Paid $120 pet fee for 3 nights, when entire room was $200. When I notified the office the next morning and requested my pet fee back due to condition of room, they moved us rooms instead and room was better but still not worth it. Kept stepping on tacks in the transition from room to bathroom. Broken glass was surrounding all walkways and was difficult to walk dogs.

The Inn was under renovation, but we probably wouldn't have stayed there knowing that? I think eventually I will be a nice quaint little Inn in Catalina. The positives were that it was in a great location, there's wonderful Mexican food just a little further down the street on the same side of the motel. It's a beautiful view of the catalinas and very quiet.

The good: Hotel clerk was very pleasant The bad: Hotel was under construction and we were not aware. Carpet down hallway was taped down in some areas and torn up in others. Rooms 1 & 2: Curtains were shredded from what looks like an animals claw. The walls were splattered with filth. Front desk didn't have extra pillows. Room 1: microwave didn't work, door was hard to open due to doorknob not working properly, mold in caulk of tub, dresser missing knob, bathroom wall missing chunk of drywall. Room 2: A/C would turn off every few hours, no tv remote in room, Bathroom towel rack broken.
