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.

The only good thing about this place is its location: it is literally right across from the beach. Other than that, the best way I can describe it is "felt like the most expensive Motel 6 I've ever stayed in." Attached photo is of the "Courtyard view."
Yes, that's a ladder leaning against the wall about 2' from our window. And yes, that's the entirety of the "included breakfast," which I would basically consider decorative and not worth touching.

Pleasant stay
The room was small but very nice. Steps to the beach/harbor. We walked from the boat to the hotel it was very convenient. I can’t say enough about the location.

The staffs are accommodating and nice. Cleanliness and organization inside the room is good and outside as well. We are so glad we chose this hotel because it is close and walking distance the shopping stores and others. We surely recommend this hotel to others and planning to come back again.

Our stay was adequate - upon arrival we found no accommodation for handicap - so 2 of our family were challenged to navigate a very difficult set of stairs. It was limiting on our stay because we could not return to room in between activities due to this. Our handicap and senior family members had to remain downstairs because of difficulty climbing and no other access for them to get to room.
The breakfast provided was rolls and orange juice. We didn't even have hot water for tea. I would not consider this even a continental breakfast as advertised.
The room was clean and staff were courteous so the stay was adequate.
My disappointment was due to the handicap limitation and sub standard breakfast provided.
