The Catalina

Cleanliness and location

The a/c unit didn’t cool well and our parking spot was often taken by the people across the street who were not guests of the Catalina.

Beach just across the street. Quiet and not much traffic. Front and back door. In fridge was welcome water and sodas. They responded to the requests in a timely manner.

Cute spot, price

It was close to the beach

The air doesn’t get cold , it’s like the unit isn’t strong enough to get the room any colder than 76 ( I checked the room temp on the remote so many times to see if it was getting any lower but it never did ) I burned up at night . I did end up buying a box fan which helped a little and had to keep the bathroom door closed for it to get to 76 but I don’t feel I should have had to do that . The staff did offer another room but also informed me that ALL units performed the same as the room I was already in . There was also this big dining table right in front of the stove refrigerator and sink and it made it impossible to move around much less cool or wash dishes . That thing needs to go . It was a very small room a little over 300 sq feet I do believe ( I got the studio apt ) the bathroom is also extremely small and smelled of urine very strongly and the water pressure was terrible . ( I could deal with everything I just listed but the ac ) they really need bigger units or something. The man came with his little thermometer gun and checker it and he said it worked just fine . And it may very well be working, but it does not get that room down to 65 like it was on the entire time. Heck I would’ve been happy if it would have just got to 70. I’m never experienced a room that would not get cold though and I stay in a lot of cheaper hotels. That was definitely the first. I would also advise bringing a couple rolls of toilet paper because they don’t exactly message back immediately. If you need toilet paper and they do not give you any extra! You will get one roll and that will be it anything after that, you will have to ask for! Same goes for the towels! Like I said, I can deal with every bit of this, but the air conditioner. We ended up leaving a day early. Also the beach access is still closed so you will have to drive down to another access ! 6/20/26

Estubo muy cerca de la playa....

The location and the area was excellent.

Families there with the pets would let them use the bathroom in the grass sitting area and not clean it up. Making the staff clean up after them.
