Not impressed by this hotel at all. The staff listed a few restaurants they are affiliated with that we will get $20 off and when we went that wasn't true. Not that $20 matter. The rooms are okay, really really small. In general not impressed with Catalina, the island looked dirty and no good food. The rooms gave me allergies, too much dust and rugs looked dirty. Not impressed. Not horrible either. Just OKAY.

Person who was supposed to meet us at the dock left work early. We had to walk from the dock to the hotel with our luggage. While it was not an extremely long distance, the expectation from the hotel was that someone would meet us when we disembarked to handle our luggage.

Great, Great Hotel

Great location, modern but vintage interior is really great, starting at the lobby and carrying throughout the property. Room was small but comfy and clean (great bed & pillows). Every employee we encountered was genuinely friendly and helpful. Very personable service. We loved it and highly recommend it.

Our ferry arrived at 10:30 am, we planned to drop off our luggage’s at the hotel, the friendly front desk staff told us our room is ready, we checked in at 11 am, what a pleasant surprise! This hotel is conveniently located at the center of the town. We can walk everywhere. The room is small since we booked two queens. Hotel offered two small bottles of Prosecco and water as welcome gifts. Which is very nice. The only thing missing is a coffee maker. Overall we had a great vacation!
