Aurora Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The entire stay was delightful! My party and I stayed for two nights and truly all we needed was a place to rest our heads and shower off the day at the end of the night. This place had exactly that. They welcomed us and were extremely kind checking us in. The breakfast was extremely appreciated, nothing too fancy but just enough to power the start of our day. The biggest plus in my opinion was the rooftop lounge. It was a great way to start the day, taking in the view of the ocean. Or end the day in the cool breeze with your friends. The rooms themselves were very neat and had everything we needed. There was a microwave and fridge, perfect for our leftovers. The bed was comfortable and my husband enjoyed the air conditioner very much. At the end of our stay we were able to leave our luggage with them after check out and come back to get things as we needed them until it was time for our ferry. Everyone who worked here was extremely kind and knowledgeable about the island, so we got to know where the best places to go were. It is up a hill so, just be warned of that. That didn’t deter me none, but, definitely was a little workout. I’d recommend this place to any of my friends and I would 100% stay here again. ☺️"

Hotel Mac Rae

8/10 Good

"The room was very clean. I love the little coffee and donut bar they put out in the morning. It is right on the main drag of the harbor and so convenient if you want to grab a white eat ice cream or walk out the green Pier whatever it is right there. The vanity in the bathroom could have been a little larger as there is hardly any room to set anything on it. If room 211 is taking a shower it gets noisy in room 212. Overall however this has been a great place to stay, the only thing I find wrong is the size of the vanity and a little bit of a noise from a shower next door.... I would definitely stay here again and recommend it."

Catalina Canyon Inn

8/10 Good

"This hotel is located a good uphill walk from the shore, which we did not mind. There's a free shuttle if needed. Pros: Staff member Ophelia (who may be the manager?) was very kind and friendly! They were able to hold our luggage until it was time to check in. We were happy this place had a pool and an in-room fridge, microwave. The size of the room was satisfactory, the bed was comfortable, the bathroom was large enough for 2 people to use the mirror at the same time, the blackout curtains were appreciated, there was a balcony with a table and chairs overlooking the garden, and there was an in-room safe. They offer free pool towels to check out. Cons: There is no indoor spot/table for 2 people to sit and eat at. It was odd to find one bar stool at the counter. The bathroom did not have a tub (even though I requested one). The freezer did not work as expected. We turned down the temp upon check-in and used the freezer for ice cream about 30 hours later only to find our dessert completely melted the next day. We wanted to watch the World Cup on TV but the reception was poor the majority of the time."
