Pleasantly surprised

This is the place to...

Liked: It was in a perfect location . . . just off the main street, so easy walking distance to everything. Staff was friendly and helpful. Price was perfect. I would definitely stay here again next time.

Catalina Hotel Seacrest Inn was...

Liked: Our stay at the Catalina Hotel Seacrest Inn was nothing short of incredible! From the moment I arrived, everything exceeded my expectations. The rooftop deck is truly a hidden gem—breathtaking views, peaceful ambiance, and the perfect place to relax with a morning coffee, enjoy a refreshing beverage, or watch the sunset after a day of exploring.The room was spotless and beautifully maintained. I especially appreciated the super comfortable bed—We slept better here than we have in months (we both have sleep issues)! It was clear that attention to detail and guest comfort is a top priority at this hotel.The location is unbeatable. Everything on the island was just a short walk away—restaurants, shops, the waterfront, and all the activities you could ask for. The accessibility to everything made our trip so easy and stress-free.Overall, this place is an absolute dream. Friendly staff, cozy atmosphere, and all the little touches that make a stay memorable. We will most certainly be back and I've already told several friends about it.
Disliked: I didn't like that our stay wasn't longer...LOL

Amazing Stay at Seacrest Inn...

Liked: We had such a lovely stay at Seacrest Inn, and I have to give a special shoutout to Amber, who made our experience smooth from the start. She reached out before we even arrived on the island and offered to store our luggage until the room was ready. This easily saved us over 100 dollars in locker rentals. That kind of thoughtful communication made a huge difference and set the tone for a wonderful trip. Amber was sweet, helpful, and made us feel genuinely welcomed.The location is absolutely unbeatable. It was a quick 5 minute walk from the ferry, and they held our bags until 4 o’clock which was perfect because our ferry left at 4:30. It was also only a 2 minute walk to the Pleasure Pier, 3 minutes to mini golf, 4 minutes to Vons grocery store, and about 10 minutes to snorkel at Lovers Cove. If you want to explore the casino or snorkel there as well, that was just a 12 minute walk. We really loved how central everything was.As for the room, the Seashell Room was much roomier and nicer than expected. The bed was comfortable, the space was clean, and the bathroom had a large spa tub with great water pressure and hot water. The complimentary shampoo and conditioner smelled amazing, and they even provided earplugs. We did not end up needing them because everyone at the hotel was quiet and respectful at night.We were on the ground floor with a private side entrance that led to a cozy patio area with tables and chairs where we could relax. Another unexpected perk was the rooftop access. We were able to use the rooftop space both before and after checkout. My boyfriend used it for stargazing at night and said it was absolutely beautiful. There is a table up there for meals, and it looks like guests are allowed to grill as well.Between the thoughtful staff, amazing location, great amenities, peaceful environment, and unique spaces like the rooftop and patio, this stay was absolutely worth it.

Very good

For the price, it was...

Liked: About 100 yards from the water. Very close to the water. Ac worked great! Refrigerator and microwave was a plus. The view from the roof, was insane!
Disliked: TV streaming was unwatchable. Wi-Fi coverage for phone, was good until nighttime when everyone was using it.

Would consider coming back!

Liked: We arrived early and departed late and staff was kind to store our luggage both times.
Disliked: Great older facility, with some maintenance issues.
