There was nowhere to sit. Shower was tiny, water temp fluctuates, nothing to hang up a coat or towels or anywhere to put your toiletries or any other personal items and bed had wheels so it was always rolling around but the bed was comfortable. The staff was nice but the cottage was tiny and old and uncomfortable. The room key always took 5 to 6 trys before it would open. The only light in the room was a light on the ceilingfan bright enough to land an airplane so we had to turn on the bathroom light and close the door so the light over the mirror would turn on. I had a small fridge on my side of the bed the girgled all night and my husband had sink with a very small table between the sink and the bed. I would never stay here again.

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.

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.

Although sold as a vintage restored hotel, and we seek those out, the overall conditions of this particular unit showed poor craftsmanship, cost corner cutting and housekeeping needing to be more thorough. The bed was listed as a queen but only if you are a small person. Clearly a double. As pictues often are shot for best vantage point, the ones online are telling a much bigger tale than expected. Place really shows its age and corner cutting. Close to everything, not of value as the entire town is walkable in minutes. Staff seemed indifferent. Three stars is being nice. Next trip going to stay elsewhere, might even stay state side and spend more for boat trips.
