We booked this hotel as part of a package offered through a "groupon" type deal. It included 2 nights at the hotel, 2 round trip tickets on the ferry to/from Catalina, 2 hour bike rental for 2 people, 2 Casino Museum tickets, and 2 tickets to the Botanical Garden/Wrigley Memorial. It was a great value, and we used everything in... More

As long as you don't expect luxury accommodations, this is THE place. Nice views, great patio with bbq. We had a decent-sized room with a little kitchenette and jaccuzzi tub. The decor is atrocious, but the beds were like pillowy clouds of goodness. Staff (Scotty) was super friendly and helpful. I would definitely stay here again.

We arrived at the dock early in the morning and Scotty was there to greet us. He took us back to the hotel, carried our bag to the room and took the time to make recommendations and suggestions about activities and restaurants that were specific to us, not general tours that they partner with. He drove us around town in... More

You can definitely find better hotels: paper thin walls, suites with a king size bed... and a twin size bed, fridges that don't work, no phones in the rooms (or at least in my room) and whirlpool controls caked with mildew. BUT Stellar service and their suites have whirlpool jet tubs in the bathroom that accommodate two with ease. Big... More

We stayed here 3rd weekend in Oct for the Jazz Festival. Just a short walk from the Casino where all the performances are. Its is uphill, but we were glad for that. We were eating like we were on vacation. We stayed in room C. Second floor in the back with a nice private balcony area with chaise lounges and... More

It is a little hike up a steep incline but doable. The room was small and the bed a little on the hard side but it was very cute. We did not test out the spa tub. We were a little disappointed with the construction going on in the patio outside our room # 1 and therefore not being able... More

Of course the rooms are on the small side, they are some of the least expensive on the island. The rooms are clean, the deck is a nice place to check the partial bay view. Some don't like the little hike up the hill to the hotel. It keeps the riff-raff from marching by all night. I've stayed at some... More
