Catalina Suites Hotel
Rooms very clean and staff helpful. Breakfast was lovely. We did have a challenge finding location. It is a restored building - many areas are smaller and some steps beyond elevator which barely held 2 of us (both seniors). Beautiful restoration. Convenient to many restaurants & shops.
