Our stay at the Catalina Motel was simple and convenient. The rooms weren’t the greatest, but you definitely get what you pay for. The location was perfect for the Beach to Bay race and made everything super easy. The owner was very nice and welcoming, which we appreciated. Overall, a good budget-friendly stay if you’re looking for something close to the action.

Building is old. I liked my room. Heater & Hot water worked. Bed comfy. Frances (office) was extremely helpful/nice. Cons: check in, saw dirty towel left on bathroom sink counter. Tv: loud static sound, picture color was green/yellow. Thats why i gave it a 4 stars
