My husband and I stayed here with a couple of friends. We all loved the feel of the inn and the décor. It is not a luxury hotel, but a quaint little inn and they do a great job of staying true to that. The rooms are somewhat small, but well done. There is a nice little Veranda where we... More

This is the noisiest hotel I've stayed at in awhile. Let's make a list of all the noises: 1. The sound of every single person slamming the main entry door and thumping their way up the stairs. 2. Power tools fixing something by the ice machine at 9am. 3. Starting at 8am, all the maids thumping up and down and... More

The location of this hotel is perfect! It is truly in the heart of town and right next door to a grocery store. The rooms have a mini fridge in each to keep water/drinks cold. A continental breakfast which was delicious was provided every morning between 8 and 10. The employees were friendly and very helpful. The balconies were nice... More

Our stay at the Catalina Island Inn was great. The staff was pleasant, helpful and informative. They were all really nice. The rooms are beautifully decorated. The bed was awesome, best mattress I've slept on in years. The continental breakfast was good. We highly recommend it.

Me and my husband stayed one night at the Catalina Island Inn in March of 2013. We thought the hotel was cute and clean. The queen non view room is tiny! I'd book a bigger room next time. The front desk staff was not too friendly but oh well. We had a fantastic dinner and a really great time at... More

All the great stuff: Clean with modern decor. Courteous staff. Close to Cresent Avenue, yet far away enough. Next to Vons Express for snacks. Community balcony to enjoy. Provides traveler shampoo, conditioner, bodywash, hair dryer. Provides light breakfast (coffee, juice, pasteries). Room had mini-fridge. A few things to note: Small bathroom/shower (Reminds me of cruiseship cabin size). Small rooms (most... More

Loved the moment we arrived, The hotel was clean and counter staff, greeted us as we walked inthe door. Due to our early arrival they allowed us to drop off our baggage and leave on our excursions for the day. My wife and i will definitely return in the future for more stays.

It's a charming hotel only 1/2 block from the ocean and within easy walking distance of everything Catalina has to offer. The Inn is kept very clean and the staff is pleasant and helpful. The balcony is a nice area to relax with a book and coffee.

This hotel is both charming and full of pleasant surprises. I have visited Catalina Island a few times over the years and stayed at a couple of different places. This is my favorite hotel overall! Best value for the price you pay. Very close to everything including the water. The staff is very professional but also very nice and went... More

Let’s start off with saying the most of the hotels in Catalina are old and that's part of the charm. The renovation on this was nice. The decor and furnishing are also very good. I wished they would have replaced or fixed up the interior door as they stuck while trying to open them. We had a balcony ocean view... More
