The place is well located. Water is across the street, the casino is 5 minutes walk away. You are two to five blocks away from any restaurants and bars. The city bus stop is across the street. It will bring you to the botanical garden in 10 minutes or so. Other than having tiny rooms (we just sleeped in them so we didn't care other that it was a bit short with our diving bags). From what we saw, you will not find fluff here but the place is nice, clean and the staff was excellent. We will definitely go back if we visit Catalina again. Our breakfast at the restaurant was was good other than the hours. In January it was opened from 9am to 4:45pm!
