What guests say
9 / 10 · Wonderful on Booking.com, from 463 guest reviews
The Catalina Island Seacrest Inn earns overwhelmingly positive sentiment, with guests repeatedly highlighting its exceptional, proactive staff, prime walkable location, and clean, comfortable rooms — several guests benefited from complimentary upgrades that elevated their stays. The main caveats are its age: some rooms feel small or oddly configured, the building has thin walls and many stairs, rooftop amenities (lighting, small fridge) were intermittently out of service, and street noise can be noticeable.
