Staff is very pleasant. We requested a room with a balcony. The balcony was facing the street and it is quite loud all day with golf carts/ cars driving by. The screen door had a big tear where the handle is so that wasn’t pretty to see either. We kept the glass door closed to avoid the noise and flies. However, we did enjoy our stay there, the room was clean and the bed was very comfy!!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
The stay was OK overall, although overpriced for the value. The room was clean and the hostess was friendly and professional. However, I didn't enjoy overly frugal approach of the owners to hide and lock coffee pods post breakfast hours of 7am-11am. We also an aftertaste of sloppiness: from the mixed up cold and hot water faucet labels, to a widely incorrect time on the office wall clock.

I like that they upgraded our room. What I didn’t like was one of the air conditioners in the living room area didn’t work. But we really didn’t need it because we didn’t sit in there.

The hotel is located above the Catalina island museum and is a very quiet place. The staff was very friendly and professional. The hotel has a continental breakfast which was very nice. The only downside was the ice machine and beverage machine was out of order during my stay.
