Poor continental breakfast, when you spend $500/night it should be a little more substantial. Overall, great stay. More

This was our 3rd trip to hotel Metropole and we fell in love the 1st time, liked it the 2nd and were very disappointed the 3rd time. It appears the hotel is really starting to lose its charm, attention to detail was no-existent. My first priority in selecting a hotel is cleanliness, then location, view and amenities. Hotel Metropole used... More

My stay at the Metropole was wonderful. I stayed in the Beach house. It was spacious and comfortable, and conveniently located smack in the middle of everything! The staff was super accommodating (Gus is the man!). Great view from the balcony. I couldn't ask for more. When I go back to Catalina I'm staying at Hotel Metropole. More

I stayed at Hotel Metropole for my first visit to Catalina Island. The room was beautiful and the service very friendly. The updated sound system and flat screen TV was wonderful, but the comfort of the bed was even better. The free breakfast was also very good. I am looking forward to returning soon and staying at this lovely, centrally... More
