I would not recommend this hotel over others in the area. We felt they were overcharging for many amenities over what other hotels charge. And the food was substandard with small proportions. On top of all that the beach fronting the hotel was rocky and unsightly. If you must come to Santa Catalina then another cheaper alternative is the better choice
