Agréable
Pros:

Tout était très bien. Le cadre très joli avec le patio et la terrasse. Chambre propre et fonctionnelle. Manque juste un « vrai » petit déjeuner continental. Super machine à café, en revanche pas de bouilloire (bien que des sachets de thé soit fournis)

Cons:

Pas de lampe de chevet (embêtant pour celui qui veut lire quand l’autre dort). Pas assez d’oreillers (1 par personne seulement c’est trop juste).

Beautiful view in Catalina
Pros:

Conveniently located. Walkable to the beach club. Booked ocean view. Read online that some ocean view rooms had balconies. Asked about this upon check-in. He said room had a direct ocean view but no balcony. I didn’t protest, but once in the room it did have a balcony with seating. Room 504. Appeared that room 503 had a similar balcony as well. Room was adequately sized for 3 people with one bed and a pull out. Privacy/cleaning tag kept falling off the door. Went to front desk to specifically request the room be cleaned but housekeeping never came. Didn’t eat at the restaurant but the cocktails were very good! Bartender super friendly.

Fantastic location!
Pros:

Wonderful location, great view! Adorable boutique hotel. We were so close to everything. It’s a great midway point to the casino and Descanso Beach Club and downtown. We would definitely stay there again.

Perfect for location and peaceful ambiance.
Pros:

Truly an incredibly nice property, loved the location, enjoyed the rooftop patio. They actually recommended Antonio's, just around the corner, as we had one older teen who lives for pizza, which we took up on the patio and enjoyed peaceful spaciousness and tranquility while people watching the endless flow of activity 4 floors below us and all the boats out in the harbor. Easy base for all our activities over the weekend.

Catalina Getaway
Pros:

Nice hotel, but a little pricey for the room and location, but it's Catalina, so there not that much that can be done. Location was walking distance to all of Catalina's points of interest. Would definitely stay here again.

Terrible hotel to stay
Pros:

The room was small and not very clean, and the carpet was dirty. The hotel’s location was good, but I was charged an extra $200 for a stain on the linen. When I contacted customer service to ask if the charge could be reduced or removed, they were rude and said they did not care about reviews. Had terrible experience at this hotel. Will never stay here again.

Save your money
Pros:

Staff was negligent. Room was decent. Bikes were great to get around the island! There is an early check in option with a fee. They call back if anything opens up but staff is selective.

Fun vibe
Pros:

Great location and I prefer hotels that are not chains and have a fun vibe - Ballanca was exactly that !
Very clean
Would definitely stay here again
Of note - If you prefer natural light and some level of privacy I would strongly recommend asking for a room on 3rd or 4th floor
My only suggestion to hotel is to have some lighting option by bed
Only lights are the bathroom and light over the table and it’s bright and inconvenient if you are in bed.
Also since the only ventilation is the little window above the sliding door might be nice to have a small fan
