Catalina Motel

Poor
Traveller Type: young couple
  : The mattress was a hybrid memory foam type. Floors felt and looked redone as if hotel is going room by room to fix and update. TV size is a plus with DirectTv but it rained during our stay so service went in and out a few times. There was a working fridge and the water did get very hot. Water pressure was not strong but enough to get clean. Not a drip either so think summer water hose and holding it down with your thumb. My plus size husband likes the towels to be rough and they did smell clean. There is a working AC so the room did cool. Location was convenient to high interest areas. Bring your own sheets. Only flat sheet to cover yourself with. Good pillows. Large parking lot but no assigned spots and no placards or parking permit issued.
  : No breakfast. The sink moved around in its space in the counter. It was not properly caulked. My husband suggested that it seems that if you book through the app. you get a different room. So if you're arriving, maaaaybe you get a better room? All speculation, though. The microwave was rusted and the AC unit was very dated and has seen better days. The toilet would sometimes fill up the tank and then run on its own. Also, my husband had a hard time sitting as the toilet was placed very closely to the wall. The edges near floor were warped; there was extensive water damage. There was a wall that seems to have been a door. The keycard didn't work on the first try or second, so good luck running from things that go bump in the night. There were a few cockroaches in bedroom and restroom. Unfortunately, we will not be staying again. It had potential and we were really hoping for a bungalow small cottage cute getaway vibe, but it's a no go. There was WiFi but we didn't get that info. upon checking in. We also did not ask later on but at this point we were just tired.
