I had a mixed experience at this hotel. On one hand, the location is perfect—quiet and away from the hustle but just a short walk to downtown. The rooms were nice, although a bit tight on space. However, the service really fell short, lacking resolution and care. The dining experience wasn't great either, which disappointed me given the overall setup.

My stay at Catalina Canyon Inn was a mixed bag. The free shuttle service to Avalon was a lifesaver, especially given the steep hill leading to the hotel. However, the cleanliness issues in the room really detracted from my experience. I found nail clippings under the table and hair on the toilet, which left me questioning the housekeeping standards.
