Hermosa Hotel offers a charming and affordable accommodation option on Catalina Island, known for its prime location just minutes away from the waterfront, shops, and restaurants. The hotel's historic character is evident, though some areas could benefit from additional investment and attention to detail. Guests can choose from various room configurations, including the popular Jack and Jill units with two bedrooms and a shared bathroom. While the rooms are generally clean, some may find the furnishings and amenities a bit dated, with varying levels of comfort and functionality. The air conditioning in some rooms can struggle to keep up with the warm weather, though opening windows and using ceiling fans can help. Despite these minor drawbacks, the hotel's greatest asset is its exceptional staff, particularly the standout performance of Alex at the front desk. Guests consistently praise the friendly and helpful service, with Alex in particular earning high marks for his problem-solving skills and positive attitude. Overall, the Hermosa Hotel provides a budget-friendly option for those seeking a convenient and charming base to explore the delights of Catalina Island. While not without its quirks, the hotel's prime location and welcoming staff make it a suitable choice for travelers seeking an authentic island experience.

Sweet little room, right? It was perfect for me. Shops, restaurants, and the beach are like, 2 minutes away. Can't beat that! Vons is about 3 minutes away. Rooms are super clean. Service was excellent. Coffee and tea were available.

Some good and unfortunately not so...Best thing is location. Very old building lots of stairs. Just dirty exterior and lack of simple cleanliness is evident. For the $$$ you feel let down. To be fair, everywhere is pricey.
