Recent Reviews in Catalina Island

Hotel St. Lauren

8/10 Good

"Very conveniently located, 5 minute downhill walk to the water; one block away from a grocery store. In room air conditioning is a bit dated. Does NOT include breakfast despite what Hotels.com is stating."

Zane Grey Pueblo Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This place was super cute, very nice, quiet. Further from the main area of shops and dining which made it nice and quiet. The views were incredible. We had a room with a balcony that was just as I imagined it would be. The property was under some repairs (steps) and we had a small issue with the fire detector going off in our room over night, which they compensated for, but otherwise lovely. The vibe was island time locals."

Catalina Canyon Inn

8/10 Good

"The staff were very friendly and helpful, the rooms were clean, the amenities were great. The only thing is the hotel itself was outdated and could use a little love and care for the pricey. Otherwise- we enjoyed our stay."

Bellanca Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean, looks freshly remodeled, big bathrooms, great air conditioning! It’s on the Main Street but on the farther end so it’s quiet at night. Excellent black out shades and comfortable bed. Would recommend and stay again!"

Studio 9 Hotel Catalina

8/10 Good

"My expectations were low, after reading many other reviews, so I was pleasantly surprised. Our room was nicely furnished, with vintage/antique feeling furniture. Nice small bathroom. Overlooked the hills behind the hotel... a nice distant view. We arrived in the morning, and the front desk woman said we could leave our bags until checkin, and would text us if we could get an early checkin. She did text us around 1 pm that we could check in, but we were busy so didn't come back until normal checkin time. After checkout, we again left our bags in the lobby (with many others) until our afternoon ferry. I liked the building and front porch. My only complaint is that there was no coffee anywhere, either in the lobby or in our room. Otherwise, a short and sweet stay. The hotel was closer to the waterfront than I expected. It is toward the end of town, as you approach the Casino, and a short walk up a steep street. As long as you are comfortable walking, it's quick access to anything along the waterfront. Pulling our wheel suitcases was no problem for us."

Hotel Atwater

10/10 Excellent

"I had a great stay at the Atwater Hotel. The staff was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and helpful throughout my visit. My room was clean, comfortable, and well maintained, which made it easy to settle in and enjoy my stay. The location is also a huge plus—very central and convenient, with easy access to everything I wanted to do in the area. Overall, I had a really positive experience and would definitely recommend the Atwater Hotel to anyone looking for a clean, comfortable, and well-located place to stay."

Hermosa Hotel
