Catalina Island Holidays from AU$1,477

The room was clean and as advertised. It was slightly smaller than expected but fine. Virtual check in was a little annoying just because the internet took a long time and we were checking in late and it didn't feel completely safe standing out there, but overall it was fine.

The property itself was great. The staff were super lovely and the room was very nice and appeared to be recently renovated. Unfortunately nowhere did I read online that Venice beach has a large homeless population and it feels unsafe and unclean (lots of spray paint, garbage etc.). I was really shocked at the surroundings and will not return here for this reason.

Room itself was nice and clean. Hallway outside smelled really bad for duration of stay. Strong ammonia/urine smell. Some staff was friendly, other staff was not. Had to ask twice (5pm and 9pm) for a crib to be brought up, and staff was clearly annoyed at the request. She dropped it on the doorjam and just stared at me, then walked away without a word. Breakfast was ok. Bread was stale and coffee tasted bad, but the hot food was decent and available the whole breakfast hours. Pool was clean and a great temperature, and towels were readily available poolside. Very nice poolside area for relaxing. Parking was pretty convenient too.

As always a great place to stay. Welcomed us with Prosecco and juice. Love that it's right across from The Grove and the Farmer's Market which provide plenty of dining options, which means it doesn't matter than the onsite options are limited. However this also meant we could use the Expedia amenity as we were only around one night and didn't eat at the restaurant. Very walkable and safe area. We walked 20 minutes to Bacio di Latte and felt fine doing so. Lots of upscale dining nearby as well. Rooms are very cute with a seating area and lots of books. A ton of personality here.

Great room, convenient and nice staff. The prices was right and I slept very well!
