I'll start by saying the staff are friendly and helpful and easily the best part about the hotel. The bed is comfortable, the bathroom is cute, and the food at the Naughty Fox is good.
However (and this is a building issue so not the staff’s fault), the walls are SO thin, to the point where I could hear my neighbors talk, watch TV, and snore. I could make out parts of their conversation through the wall, and they were speaking at normal volume. If you’re on a lower floor you will also hear your overhead neighbors’ footfalls and every time their toilet flushes. I had to wear my noise-canceling earbuds to fall asleep. During the day you can hear every golf cart and car and loud group passing by. The room is also on the smaller side. The rooftop terrace has a nice view of the harbor but feels dated. Staying at Bellanca doesn’t guarantee you’ll find a seat at the Naughty Fox, which is very popular. There is no room service yet (though you can order food to-go and the food is solid).
I’d never been to Catalina and was really looking forward to my stay, but this was not worth the price at $400/night. I feel bad because the staff are hard-working and were all great, but I can’t recommend Bellanca if you’re looking for a quiet place to relax after exploring town.
