It’s not rich or fancy. But convenient. Far enough from the beach to cost less than beach front. Astounded

The building where the rooms sits is really old. A lot of moisture inside the rooms. The thing I really liked about the location, is the convenience. There are a lot of places to eat within walking distance, lots of outdoor activities.

Room is quaint and charming. However, the floors were stucky, food remnants left in refrigerator, dirty frying pan and spatula. The baseboards were not cleaned. Towels and sheets were good as was the coffee in lobby, staff was friendly however seemed shocked and powerless to make any changes.

Nice location, a short walk from where Catalina Express drops you off and maybe a block away from the museum. I booked a double room and unfortunately had to climb 3 flights of stairs to get there. Not ideal for a family traveling with a baby, stroller, etc. The double room is a bit cramped. Sink is in the main room and the shower/toilet are behind a very tiny room. It's an old hotel so probably just how it was built. I would say it was definitely clean and an average hotel with the most decent price I could find on Catalina.
