The overall stay wasn’t bad, and the service at front desk was amazing. However our room 204 had a very strong sulfur smell when the shower was turned on pretty sure it was coming from shower water it made it super unpleasant to shower

This hotel is well maintained but in need of updates. The rooms are clean and comfortable. The location is amazing. We were aware that it was the oldest hotel in the area but minor touch ups would go a long way.

Catalina Island is lovely and this beautiful hotel is placed right in the center of it! Our room overlooked the ocean and was fairly spacious. The greatest benefit however is definitely the location! You can walk to any restaurant, shop, or excursion from this hotel! The staff is also very kind and helpful. They even allow you to drop off your luggage before check in. The ONLY complaint I could have is that their included breakfast is very basic- yogurt, some fruit, coffee, and a croissant.

It’s old but nice. Our room was small but really nice. It was built in the 1920s but it does not show it. The upkeep is good. It was clean and comfortable. Staff was great. Got there early to drop off our bags and we where accommodated and even got into our room early.

This property is overpriced for what it is. The one positive is the location. Very old rooms, uncomfortable bed, thin walls, no view, rude staff, poor breakfast AND OVERPRICED. Pictures are deceiving. Would not recommend!!
