"Amazing place to stay on Catalina Island! We got a free room upgrade, early check in, and we’re allowed to store luggage before check in and after check out if needed. The rooftop was one of our faves! We ordered dinner from a sushi spot down the street and sat up there for dinner one night. This place was affordable and exceeded every expectation! We can’t wait to come back!"
