Bellanca Hotel
10/10 Excellent
"Loved the hotel and the staff was great. Will definitely visit again. Staff was nice. The restaurant's food was delicious. "
"The staff were all really nice. It’s super clean and all here. There’s a restaurant nearby the pool so that was convenient also. The hotel provides transportation to the dock and downtown and the hotel so be sure to bring cash to tip your drivers. I will be coming back here for sure."
"This was my second time visiting Catalina Island. The first time was a cruise day trip, and this time my husband and I came for a two-night getaway. After researching several hotels, we chose Aurora Hotel because of the great reviews and recently renovated rooms. It’s about a 12-minute walk from the ferry—just a slight uphill at the end, so if you have heavy luggage, expect a few pauses.
Check-in was quick and friendly. The room was on the second floor (no elevator, but only two floors total). It’s on the smaller side but had everything we needed: a microwave, coffee maker, fridge, two complimentary bottles of water, and even two candies on the bed! The room was super clean with a fresh scent, and there were plenty of towels, robes, and thoughtful amenities like shower gel, body lotion, cotton balls, and ear cleaners.
We didn’t use the A/C—just opened the windows. You will hear some golf carts and neighbors, so if you’re a light sleeper, bring earplugs or use the A/C instead.
The rooftop lounge was one of my favorite parts. It’s open from 8am to 10pm, and I actually took a relaxing nap there in the sunshine. They also offer a continental breakfast; we grabbed yogurt and coffee and headed to a local restaurant for a full meal.
Overall, we had a great stay and I would definitely recommend Aurora Hotel for a clean, comfortable, and peaceful Catalina Island stay."
