This hotel is well maintained but in need of updates. The rooms are clean and comfortable. The location is amazing. We were aware that it was the oldest hotel in the area but minor touch ups would go a long way.

Daniel (front desk) was the best host! He called us the night before to pre-order breakfast...which was unexpected and awesome...he was well informed with regards to dining and breakfast facilities...he was very attentive and made the experience feel more than what we payed for! Great experience at MacRae Hotel!

Catalina Island is lovely and this beautiful hotel is placed right in the center of it! Our room overlooked the ocean and was fairly spacious. The greatest benefit however is definitely the location! You can walk to any restaurant, shop, or excursion from this hotel! The staff is also very kind and helpful. They even allow you to drop off your luggage before check in. The ONLY complaint I could have is that their included breakfast is very basic- yogurt, some fruit, coffee, and a croissant.
