All I'm going to say to my fellow Tripadvisors is this: stay somewhere else. After a wonderful two week trip with family touring California and Hawaii on the Big Island, we had the most horrible room for what they call a first floor bayfront suite. We are sick because of the money we paid out for two suites. If you... more

Do not stay here! The worst experience I have ever had. The spa and restaurant are nice, but you can stay across the street at the Best Western and still visit the spa and restauarant and have a clean room and better service and if you leave items in the room they will be returned to you, unlike this hotel.... more

Searched high and low for a hotel in San Diego and decided on the Catamaran, due to it's location and the reviews on Trip Advisor. We were promptly and courteously checked in and given a room in the Tower on the 12th floor. The room was right next to the elevator, which I thought would be a problem, but as... more

The Catamaran is definitely "kid friendly" and since we were there with a kid, the several days we spent there were OK. It must be a challange to keep a "resort" hotel in satifactory functioning condition when 2 year olds amuse themselves by opening and closing the screen door to the balcony as our grandson did. The staff does seems... more

After reading many reviews, we decided to go with the Catamaran Hotel and we were very pleased with our choice. The hotel staff that we interacted with was extremely nice and helpful. When we asked where something was or located, they just did not tell you where it was, they actually took the time to physically show you. Very impressed!... more

Not much to say except beware of the beds!!! They were horrible. My poor husband had the worst nights sleep for the 3 nights we stayed. I discovered early on that the sofa was so much more comfortable that I didn't have any trouble sleeping and waking up refreshed. Hubby was miserable for the first 3 hours each morning and... more

For booking through hotwire I was pleasantly surprised to be staying there and have it live up to its star rating. Some reviews didn't sound promising and I was a bit concerned. When I checked in, desk clerk assigned me a room and based on the map (no balcony, major walkway) I wasn't too pleased. I asked if there was... more

Some mixed reviews had left me a wee bit nervous especially as this was the location we were staying longest at on our honeymoon. HOWEVER from the minute we arrived we were treated to excellent service and enjoyed every minute of our stay. Very helpful staff and a fantastic location, 1 min from the beach, shops, bars and restaurants AND... more

I booked our reservation at the hotel website in advance. The site said we would receive a free upgrade to a garden view studio room @ $143.00. I arrived late at night and went to my room and noticed my garden view was in fact the many storied parking garage, no garden in sight. I went back to the front... more
