Our room was so cute and we even had a jet tub! Just what I needed after a couple days of camping. The location is perfect and walkable to everything and the rooftop fuse was a bonus. Staff was really nice and allowed us to store our luggage.

The rooms were nice and clean. Area was pretty quiet. Check in was quick and efficient. The only real issue was the spotty Internet and as a result, the TV was buffering most of the time.

We loved the hotel!! It was super close to the main strip and convenient to get to places around the island. Michael in the front office was very kind and accommodating to us and even let us leave our luggage there after we checked out until our ferry ride home. DO NOT LOCK THE DEAD BOLT! We made that mistake and had to ask Michael to open it again. The door is a bit tricky, but ultimately it was a great room for a reasonable price.

Awesome time! We loved the ambience of the room. It has rustic charm. The ropftop has a beautiful view of the island.What iloved most was that the staff was kind enough to hold our luggage until the room was ready. We were able to enjoy the island without tugging our luggage around. They also watched our luggage after we checked out so that we could continue to enjoy ourselves until it was time to leave the beautiful island. Our room had a lovely huge hot tub. Perfect after a long day of walking. Extra bonus!

Staff was very friendly, room was very clean. Room was a little noisy because it faces the street, but they did provide ear plugs which was a nice offer. Love that they have beach towels to use! One thing I would recommend to staff is a mattress topper added to the bed because the bed sinks in the middle so it was hard for 2 to sleep comfortably.

I've stayed here a number of times. My only real complaint this time was that the jets for the warm tub advertised did not work at all. Also, the fridge seemed warm, and I wasn't sure if it was working properly. This was for the "Loft Room". If I was staying longer, I would have went to management about it but I was just there for one night. Usually, the hotel has been better. They need to more on top of things. The hotel room is too pricey for the amenities not to be functional.

We stayed here for my boyfriend's 30th birthday and had the best time. The room was clean and spacious, we had a lovely time hanging out on the rooftop patio, and Michael at the front desk was so helpful and very kind! We really enjoyed our time and are excited to come back and stay at the Seacrest Inn again in the future. The location is ideal as it is close to the water and 2 blocks from the Vons! It is also next to NDMK which is our favorite place to eat at in Catalina. They offer beach towels for your use as well! The room we stayed in (Garden Room 2) had a large spa tub and AC which made for a super comfortable stay. Thank you!!
