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.

This is a great place to stay. Right on the coast. I loved hearing the surf all night. My only complaint is that the shower was small.
