Nice staff, super convenient spot. Everything is walking distance. 10 min walk from the port when you dock. Good food in the area and fun night life, bars, and Keroke.

Hotel was very quiet, it was the off season. My wife and I began to have electrical problems our 1st night. We were told when we checked in to use a small space heater since the room HVAC was not working. This space heater started tripping the circuit breakers for our room. It was very cold and we did not know this had happened. It was eventually fixed, but left not so good thoughts about the hotel.

Would recommend!

Booked a room here for the Avalon 50 mile run. We probably have stayed at a majority of hotels in the island. This was the best value so far. Sort of like staying within a little community. The staff was very good.

Ocean view room. Beautiful and cozy. Perfectly clean and with everything you need. Unfortunately the heating was broken so the room was a bit cold even though there was a small fan. Great staff, Daniel was professional and kind. Beautiful hotel I recommend it

I am giving our stay 5 stars because the location was awesome, the hotel was clean, the staff was friendly and helpful, but I mean, you can't compare it to the ritz or one of the high end hotel, but it was perfect for Catalina.
