8/10 Good

"Very old hotel without pool. Breakfast is very limited (not even boiled eggs), nowhere to seat while you are eating."

Studio 9 Hotel Catalina

"The stay was very nice although there is not people there to help with luggage also the blankets in the room are not real? Ik how it sounds its 2 sheets in between a blanket. The rooms are very old school but cute absolutely loved that the balcony is accessible to everyone has a great view of the ocean. also, no microwaves inside of the room it’s located downstairs kinda odd."

"It was a very cute and quaint place to stay. We arrived when staff was at lunch, so our keys were set out at the front desk for us. The room was charming. However, work was being done on the patio, and a worker was using a loud sander. I do understand that upkeep needs to be done from time to time. Also, there was no indication that we would have to walk up a big hill to get to the property. People should be aware that it is easier to pay for a golf cart taxi to take you and your luggage up the hill. Also, the most frustrating part of the stay was that there was a loud, disorienting noise coming from the wall in the middle of the night that lasted on and off for about 20 minutes. It interrupted my sleep."

Glenmore Plaza Hotel

8/10 Good

"I booked a luxury suite with two beds and a large room through Expedia, but upon arrival, the room, while nice, had only one bed and a sofa bed, and was much smaller than advertised. The staff were wonderful, though: since I was traveling with my senior parents, they kindly moved us to a larger room, though it still came with a sofa bed that wasn't very comfortable. That said, the location is fantastic and the staff are amazing — I'll definitely stay here again and very soon. The lesson learned is simply not to book through Expedia next time. A couple of tips: bring earplugs, as there are bars nearby and things can get loud at night with people out late. I'd also recommend requesting a room on the 3rd or 4th floor to avoid the noise upstairs. (No elevators so be prepared to take stairs but it's totally doable, my 80 YO dad with back ache was able to comfortably go up and down to the 3rd floor. )"

What is the difference between a 4-star and 3-star hotel in Catalina Island?

The biggest difference between a 3- and 4-star hotel in Catalina Island will be the level of service and access to creature comforts. Three-star hotels are typically more pocket-friendly and come with the conveniences and services you need for your comfort, such as a gym, WiFi and breakfast. You can expect a bit more at a 4-star hotel — think upscale interiors, premium toiletries and extras like on-site spas.

What is the difference between a 3-star hotel and a motel in Catalina Island?

Motels typically offer more affordable rates compared to hotels, which makes them perfect if you're traveling around Catalina Island on a shoestring. A popular pick for overnight stays, these roadside accommodations have simply furnished rooms, limited services and ample parking. Opt for a 3-star hotel and you can expect to pay more for additional comfort, privacy and amenities. Guests can take advantage of things like free WiFi, gyms and business services at this kind of property.
