The overall stay wasn’t bad, and the service at front desk was amazing. However our room 204 had a very strong sulfur smell when the shower was turned on pretty sure it was coming from shower water it made it super unpleasant to shower

I am giving our stay 5 stars because the location was awesome, the hotel was clean, the staff was friendly and helpful, but I mean, you can't compare it to the ritz or one of the high end hotel, but it was perfect for Catalina.
