Catalina Island Seacrest Inn

I am writing an updated review because of the management's initial response on TripAdvisor. To date I have not received any direct response to messages via *******. So no, I did not get any direct response to my message. Initial review: I am writing a review after giving the hotel a chance to respond. No response so here it is. I've stayed here a number of times. My only real complaint this time was that the jets for the warm tub advertised did not work at all. Also, the fridge seemed warm, and I wasn't sure if it was working properly. This was for the "Loft Room". If I was staying longer, I would have went to management about it, but I was just there for one night. Myself and my guest only realised the tub jets were not working later at night after 10 pm due to our activities. Calling about tub maintenance after 10pm would have made no sense. Usually, the hotel has been better. They need to be more on top of things. The hotel room is too pricey for the desired amenities not to be functional. I will probably look for somewhere else next time.

Catalina isn't inexpensive destination so finding this property to rent for a few nights really helped stretch the budget. It was on the smaller size but for the money a great value! Walking distance close to restaurants, shops, and the beach made needing a golf cart to get around not necessary. Front desk was accommodating with towels, tissue paper, and filtered water at no charge. The rooftop features a wonderful city view balcony with comfy seating. The only downside for me was a firm bed with a frame that extends past the mattress (tough on a knee!) and occasional street noise. Overall, a good choice if you want to save some bucks with a clean place close to everything.

We loved the old property and how the room was shaped. An odd shape that just gave it that vintage feel while being clean with up to date amenities.
