I left early and miserable. I only booked for one night but didn't make it past 230a. The bed frame in my first room broke but the receptionist took care of it quickly once I called down. He was very nice about it and moved me to a bigger & "better" room down the way. I know that this is a Motel 6, so when each of the 3 towels I used in my first room had hairs in it that weren't mine I let it go. The second room was worse and I could not get comfortable at all. Everything was falling apart and dirty. I already wasn't sleeping under the covers in room 1, but in room 2 I had to put more clothes on just to cover my body more so I could lay on top of the bed. I ended up throwing in the towel around 2am. The receptionist was gone by that point even though he'd just helped me 30 mins earlier. I wanted a refund really bad, but I wanted to leave more. I ended up having to leave the key in the room so I could run away to SFO. I was 1000% more comfortable sleeping on the airport ground than on the Motel 6 Great Highway beds. I highly doubt I'll get a refund at this point so lesson learned. Sometimes the cash you save just is not worth it. Spend the $100 more.

The staff was extremely welcoming, friendly and helpful, especially Pam who gave us a bunch of recommendations for local spots to check out. Rooms were clean and very large. Didn’t get a chance to use the fitness center and/or spa area but it was nice to know it was there. The area nearby is nice in most directions. You can end up in a rough part of town if you aren’t sure of where you’re going, but the other directions have plenty of great food and public spaces.

"The only drawback is the distance to the restaurants and the beach. It’s walkable takes about 10-14 min to town but not recommended to walk with lugggages. There’s a service van from the hotel to bring you to town every 15-30 min. Other than the distance overall good decent hotel in Catalina ..."
