The hotel itself was so beautiful and charming, and was perfect for a weekend getaway. The staff and owners were very sweet, provided great service, and even gave us daily coupons for the local ice cream parlour/candy store. We were also greeted by the owners' dog Margarito and the neighbourhood cat (who were both very quiet and unobtrusive). The hotel was perfectly located––about a 2-3 block walk (slight hill) from the main road/downtown––meaning it was far enough to be peaceful and quiet at the hotel, yet close enough to easily to get anywhere we wanted. It is also right next to the supermarket, which was convenient. Our room had a mini kitchen with a mini-fridge, stove, microwave, toaster, sink, etc. Though we didn't really cook, the fridge was helpful for storing food for picnics, leftovers from dinner, etc. The bathroom and shower were small, but not to the point where it bothered us. The room also had AC, which was perfect for the hot July days. Overall, we could not be happier with our trip. We had an absolutely wonderful and unforgettable stay. (We're writing this review 7 months later because we're still talking about it!)

Absolutely loved this place...Very clean...bed comfortable...check in was great and helpful...wifi great...my only complaint trying to get hot water to the room. Our room was at the top so you could either climb the stairs or enter from the back gate. Great stay.

The hotel not bad location close to shopping and the beach , 2 minutes walking to vons wich is big plus , room is realllly big with nice amenities. The room was dirty when we entered has many Antes we had to leave the room to spray anti - ant . The room is old and the furniture are old . The BIG problem was its NOT suitable for a senior i have my dad with me he was suffering, to reach to the room we have to go many stairs and those only way to reach the room (attached picture for the stairs) Also they said the room is a sea view actually the view was super far ( attached picture for the view too) . The room had a corridor for all guests that was the one with the view Nd another terrace inside the room for the back of few houses.

Thank you for your review, Jomajojo. We apologize for any discrepancies during your visit. We take the satisfaction of our guests very seriously. We throughly clean and disinfect our rooms after each guest. Although most properties in Catalina Island have stairs, we have a handicap accessible room and a ground floor room that is available for those that cannot climb stairs. We do hope you were able to enjoy your stay and hope you give us another opportunity to earn your business.

I saw a deal on my Facebook and called for a four day stay. WOW, I had an amazing time for a reasonable price. Staff was so nice and helpful. Hotel was so cute. Island was so much fun. Very close to Vons and very close to restaurants. I can't wait to stay again. See you in September!! You can see my room in this picture. Downstairs on the right. Thank you for a very well deserved vacation.

It was a good value for the $$ and just a few blocks to Town and the beach. We had the top floor “suite” with a fabulous 180° view, & kitchenette w/stove, fridge, microwave, coffee.creamer/sugar It was old, but clean, comfortable, and an easy walk to town. After we checked in, the office manager carried our bags up the stairs to our room near the top of the property. From there, it was only 8-10 steps out the door of our room up to an exit on the backside of the property (Metropol Ave) for an easy walk to and from town. The property is old, but clean & comfortable with kitchen & our private balcony overlooking the ocean & town. Would stay again! However, FYI, if you are unable or unwilling to climb stairs, there were 50-55 stairs from where the taxi dropped us off and up to the “penthouse”.

Stayed 9/21 & 9/22 cottage #5. Yes this hotel is very old but kept impeccably clean. Friendly staff, close to Von's market, very quiet at night and beautiful outdoor environment. Can't wait for our return visit.

We were so happy with our stay here. The cottages are so cute and we were delighted with our mini kitchen with dishes, silverware, and pans for cooking. The bed was comfortable and the WiFi worked great. The door handles are a little wobbly but we didn't care about that. This is right around the corner from Vons so we just ate breakfast in our room each day with the food we bought from Vons.

The week of my reservation, CA government prohibited travel due to rising COVID cases. The hotel was unhelpful in rescheduling my reservation and only allowed cancellation which required forfeiture of one night's room fee. Visitor beware. Use a friendlier hotel with better understanding of public health policy.

Hello, We do not and have not charged a nights room fee for any cancellations since the first lock down back in March. We would encourage you to take a close look at your billing statement and contact your CC company for any discrepancies. You are also welcome to contact us directly. Since the beginning of the pandemic, we have waived the nights room fee and only charge guests a $20 fee for last minute cancellations. Thank you.

La Paloma Las Flores is a hidden jewel on the beautiful Catalina Island. Located a couple of blocks from the strand, the hotel is an easy ten minute stroll from the ferry landing. This hotel has a funky, old school charm with beautiful garden views and a feeling of privacy. Not recommended for those with ambulatory disabilities as the rooms are accessed by steep, external stairs. A cozy, well appointed room was supplied with the most comfortable bed I’ve ever slept in. This is not a polished, sterile inn but rather an old school row of LA bungalows built into the hill. Very friendly staff. Close to groceries, restaurants and shops. Pets are not allowed.

We were looking for an affordable hotel with great views, which is not easy in Catalina. La Paloma is it! The place isn’t fancy, but it’s super cute and clean. It has a big pergola within the walkway and beautiful plants along it. We stayed in room #9, which has great views plus a kitchenette. Again, remember it’s a simple room with older furnishings (it’s an economical choice), but it’s clean. The hotel has many stair steps to climb due to its unique layout, so be ready to carry your bags a bit or ask for a street level room. The staff is super friendly and lets you store bags in their office.
