Like cold showers I hope

annoying after ten minutes I still had to take a cold shower as there was no hot water!
Jeanne, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Room was clean and comfortable. Check in process was easy enough. However, it is motel style rooms, the hotel isn’t in the best area, there is no staffing and cars were pulling in and out through the evening which made it a little unsettling as I was going to bed

Really exceeded expectations here. Traditional motel that has been superbly updated and renovated. OK, so it’s expectation management, but it convenient, v comfortable and spacious. No food options, but plenty nearby. Would use again and recommended

Bryan, 5-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great, reasonably priced, I would stay again..but

Good place,easy to find location, clean rooms, hot shower, the motel is nice especially for the price. And once I arrived the checkin was fast and easy...But I did try to call them 4 seperate times the day before I was to arrive - no answer. I even left 2 messages and still no one returned my call. I was trying to extend my stay but booked the extra day elsewhere.

Old but a good deal in a very expensive area
Roger, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

It works!

I’ve stayed at the Catrina several times while visiting family in the area. It’s clean, comfortable, affordable and convenient. Checking in, with someone on video is a wee bit dystopian, but it works. I recommend grabbing a bite act Heidi’s Pies nearby for some good old fashioned human interaction
Catherine, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

I have stayed at Catrina several times, and it is my go-to when visiting family nearby. It’s clean and modern and affordable. The location works well for me, and there’s a ghost kitchen nearby to pickup takeout, or Heidi’s Pies for some good old-fashioned comfort food with lovely human interaction. If you can deal with the virtual front desk (they’re helpful and friendly!) it’s a good place to stay. As a tea drinker, I really appreciate the electric kettle.
Catherine, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I really like how the property is virtually ran. The property was very quiet. Will definitely stay here anytime I’m in the Bay Area
Erika, 2-night trip

Teriffic place, nicely remodeled, quite modern. There's no room key, just a passcode you receive by email.
