Catalina Canyon Inn

Catalina Canyon Inn

8/10 Good
"Room was good, front desk staff was amazingly helpful. Only problem during the whole stay was the wait at the on site restaurant. We tried breakfast there one morning and it was over an hour to get our food. That being said, the food was very good for breakfast. We went back for taco Tuesday, it wasn’t crazy busy but we ordered a total of 3 tacos and two drinks. We waited over 1 hour to receive our tacos with not one person or server checking in. When we finally made a comment about the service we had every server aside from the one who initially served us come over to our table. Not sure what the issue was but it was a very strange feeling. Watched the same server assist 3 other parties who came and left before our food arrived. Either way, an enjoyable stay at the location, the deer were everywhere in the morning and evening and the shuttle service was great too. Sometimes a little bit of a wait when there is only one driver but very good service."
