The beach house is a good option for those on a budget for one night or two. Our room was clean included a small fridge and microwave. We used the patio to enjoy our cocktails. Check in is at the bottom of the hill at the sister property, so get your groceries for the ride up the hill on the... More

My husband and I stayed here on my first trip to Catalina. We wanted to go but not spend an outrageous amount of money on one of the resorts that are extremely expensive. Catalina Beach House was like visiting an old Aunt or Grandma's house. The carpet is pretty old (you'd want to wear sandals) and it has a funky... More

This is the toughest review to write that I have ever attempted. Overall, our room for two nights was not so good compared to other hotels on the island in which we have stayed. But on the other hand, compared to other areas in which I have stayed, this stay is toward the bottom of the list for some very... More

We stayed here with our kids for my birthday weekend. They were very friendly, allowed us to check in early. Even called us to let us know our room was ready. This property is 100 yrs old. Has great history. Knowing this allowed to embrace its lower doorways and uniqueness of the property. It was small, but had everything we... More

We were in town for one night and just needed a place to shower and sleep. Had to be up early the next day. Catalina Beach House provided this for us at a very good rate. The staff were very nice!!!! Thank you Catalina Beach House. I will be calling you again soon to book a night's stay.

My wife and I (we're in our 30s) bought a 2-night stay at this hotel as part of a package, which also included roundtrip transportation from Newport Beach, a 2-hour bike ride and 2 tickets to the Casino musem. We had a blast! Our room was ready for check in hours before the usual check-in time (so, we didn't have... More

We read that the staff here is very helpful, and we definitely found that to be the case. When we left our luggage at the Hermosa Hotel at the end of our stay, the staff willingly agreed to charge my husband's cell phone in the office. However, the accommodations were not as great as the staff. Our room had two... More

With the exception of the staff, I would give it a 0 . I have stayed in a lot of places all over the world, from flops to tops. This is just a sad place to stay. Upside, the staff sometimes. The downside. The golf cart that brings you up from the sister hotel Hermosa, is broken, and apparently has... More

Really couldn't say more for the views, the staffing, the overall feel good feeling when staying at the Catalina Beach House! Small and quaint but I could still make a meal in my room and save a few bucks not eating downtown every meal. The patio is a great place to socialize while BBQ'ing! Had a great time and anything...

We found a great deal on a room at the Catalina Beach House and spent two nights there in a very quaint room right on the patio. Because it was so small, it had the feeling of being in a boat cabin, which we thought was cute. Even though it was very small, it had a kitchenette and a king... More
