Nice, quiet, and small property without noisy or rowdy guests. It was a perfect location near the beaches and downtown. It's a basic motel without the amenities I never use anyways. Perfect home base for a quiet, relaxing weekend trip to the beach. I will stay there again.

Great for the price!

The Catalina is perfect if you are looking for a place to rest between heading to the beach. Beds are clean and comfortable. It needs updating but for the price I can easily overlook it. We had two rooms and one had an overwhelming smoke smell, the other was a bit more updated and better.

Owners were super friendly and sweet. We had our boat so they put us at the far end so we had more room for parking. Its an older outdated place, but over all it was clean and the beds and pillows were cleand and comfortable. If your out an about with things planned and really just need a place to sleep a few hours and shower, this is the place! We will definitely comeback!
