Strong mildew smell in washroom. I stayed in room 124. Holes in the shades. I think they should be motel status.

Hotel was in a great location, but rooms were a lot more run down than expected. Our air conditioning broke and it was miserably hot in our room. The front desk told us they would take a look at it...and at 4am told us it was fixed and it was not. My friends and I stayed up all night because the heat was unbearable. All they had to say the next morning […] as we were leaving was "sorry". NEVER staying here again! Read more

I was disappointed that the hotel is NOT on the beach side of Collins Avenue (I should have done my research). Also the rooms were very tiny and white. All it needed was a straight jacket and we could have made a Jack Nicholson movie. Some pretty shady ladies were hanging around the hotel posting up next you and making small talk; which in my younger […] days might have been fun, but for a married guy served as a source of anxiety. Will not stay here again. Read more

Waited 2 hours for food to be served at the hotel diners. Hope management will do something about the service.

great location, rooms are fair, but the beds are uncomfortable, don't plan on sleeping.....music plays downstairs all night........great party! Nice breakfast

If you like to ride bikes they do have free rentals included with your stay. The happy hour is nice and it is also complimentary. The valet parking is expensive. $25 per day to use the valet and the resort fee is $15 per day as well. You need to consider these charges, when budgeting for this hotel. In a prime location near the beach and shopping a […] rea. Read more

not a good experience. bad service, rooms very run down, could hear everything going on in other rooms and bar. I suggest that you spend more money and go across the street, it will be money well spent

I had to wait over 35 minutes for the hotel to recieve and process my reservation! I watched at 20 people check in without a problem! Besides that my experience was great! I really enjoyed my stay at the Catalina hotel!

We booked through hotels.com and were only staying one night. The staff put us in the LOUDEST room ever, literally we were screaming to hear eachother. Also when we walked into the room there was garbage in the toilet and the trash hadn't been taken out. When I called the front desk they told me they were totally booked and couldn't move us, so I looked […] up to see if I could book a room on their website (where it appeared there were many openings.) I actually heard the front desk whisper to one another not to move us because we were only staying one night. I don't expect much, but this was a pretty ridiculous experience. Read more

We have to thank the exceptionally courteous staff at the Catalina Beach Club-- especially Juan who upgraded us to a nicer room in a quieter building---- the Catalina Hotel and Beach Club is actually 3 buildings, all with street front bar/restaurants - live music, comfy seating-- a lot of fun-- the middle building is where the music/free happy hour […] is and it is definitely a younger crowd (my friend and I middle aged!)-- but the north building proved to be way quieter and it was a pleasantly decorated place, great room with very comfortable king bed, and pull out sleeper sofa (not so comfortable, but handy) Also, 2 pretty pools-- we thought the bar at Maxine's Bistro, one of hotel restaurants, had best mojito in town----For the price this was a great deal and short block from beach with beach chairs inc (chair and umbrella rentals $ if hotel doesn't include-- good to know as South Beach isn't cheap- lots of hidden costs it seemed)-- at any rate, this is close enough to the bars and restaurants on Ocean Drive-- like 5 blocks down and one block over-- would stay here again!

I chose the Catalina based off of pictures and decent reviews. When I arrived I found that the hotel was spread over three older hotels and most of them needed updates. Their restaurants were better than their hotel service. The check in was frantic and the night we stayed our neighbors were fighting so loudly that the cops were called. I enjoyed the […] area and food but would not recommend staying if you need any amount of sleep. Read more

Last minute reservation. The room was really small and the staff didn't want to be helpful with anything. However it was a real party hotel and that made up for everything

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

They sent me to a sister hotel due to over booking over 20 blocks away. The valet parking takes 30 minutes to bring your car. They wanted to charge me $60 to switch to a double bed room vs king. The only thing exciting was the Rooft Top Pool and Bar.

I have stayed here twice now. I would have to say for the price the value of what you get can not be compared. They have free airport shuttle, free drinks from 7-8 and free wi fi. The location is within walking distance to everything. The Ritz and Delano is just across the street The beach is also across the street and they do have have beach area at […] the beach. We found all the staff to be very nice and and right there when ever we needed something. for $200 more a night we could have and considered staying at the Ritz but did not see the value in that. If you are looking to be in the heart of all the restuarants, beach, shopping and still on a budget I would recommend this place. I have no problem in paying luxury and top of the line if i see the value. Here I just did not see staying accross the street to worth an added $1200 to the trip. How i determined that is by also considering if i had to pay for wi fi, taxi, difference in drink prices at the pool etc. the differnce would have been about $1200.00 for 4 nights. Also note there is a difference in rooms You will want to stay in the D rooms the hallways in Maxines are dirty so if you can overlook look the hallways in the Maxine building for the savings you should enjoy your stay. The D buildings is much more updated and nicer. Read more

I stayed at this hotel during spring break with friends. We enjoyed our stay here although we didn't have very much light in our room. I also requested a 2 double bed room and when we got to the hotel our rooms weren't ready and we were told the rooms are first come first serve so therefore we got stuck with a King size bed room. Tyrell is the concierge […] & he was a HUGE help during our stay at the Catalina hotel. The bartenders were amazing and made us feel very welcomed. But the staff in charge of checking in and out were very rude and didn't explain the fee's and deposits proper way. She never apologized for the confusion and lack of communication during our stay which made us feel very uncomfortable. This hotel should be considered for adults only since there is a live 24hr DJ on the main level and is directly on the strip of Miami. I was kind of uncomfortable sitting at the bar at 2am while watching children ran around in the lounge area, or going for a late night swim while children were steady splashing water towards our way. Besides that, everything was great and we had an awesome mini 3 day vacation ! Read more

Great service, very accommodating!

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

For the extraordinary amount of money I paid to stay at the Catalina Beach Club I was highly unimpressed. It was dirty, loud, and the smallest hotel I've ever stayed in. They overbooked the hotel during our stay and the rooms looked like hostels. When we'd try to call to the front desk for service, no one would answer. Our room was never cleaned and […] our room keys would randomly stop working, locking us out of our room. Over the two days we were there, we had to get FOUR new sets of keys just to get in our room. DO NOT STAY HERE! Read more

Staff very friendly. Excellent rate on hotels.com. Visited the first week of March. Will absolutely return to hotel. Our room was located in the Dorset building.

Really liked this place. Would revisit and recommend the place.

Saying it was not up to par would be an understatement. They wouldn't post my long winded comment so this will have to do.

There weren't much linen for two people...and the shower was horrible scalding hot, water pressure poor, placement of the shower head poor, and no wash clothes in room upon arrival. Location excellent outside room decor ok..good enough for a short stay.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Overall this is regular South Beach art-deco boutique hotel and don't expect something special. Good thing - there are two swimming pools. The bad one - our room was very close to the lobby where there was noisy live-band and the same noisy people. So, just ask to give you a room somewhere further and enjoy awesome location

Loud, Small and not worth the money

Not happy with the experience. Never slept. Too noisey in bar. Would not recommend this hotel.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The Catalina hotel was terrific for what most of us need. Really friendly staff, three restaurants at your doorstep (part of the hotel property) with delicious food and great location close to the beach and Ocean Drive. But we were most impressed by the staff. Friendly, helpful and sincere. We had a clogged drain at one point which as soon as we had […] mentioned was addressed with again friendly staff. The beds are wonderful and the room was clean. So the only issues would be that in one area of the hotel there is a rooftop lounge and the music could be heard in the room. The only other small issue was the people above us must have had heels on and you could hear every step rather loudly. But that was just one night and this is nit-picking. This place is terrific!!!

I stayed at The Catalina on Friday night and it was great. My room was close to the lobby yet I did not hear any noise at night. The bar was fun and the food was great. I am looking forward to my next stay. C Cooper

Really loved this place. Centrally located and classy. I'm told some rooms have problems with noise. Ours did not so you may want to request one that isn't located above a night club. Within walking distance to everywhere you really need or want to go in the area.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

the hotel was not as nice as the photos, overpriced for what it offered. They were supposed to have a free shuttle to the airport, but the shuttle didnot show up and I ended up taking a taxi and shelling out $40 that I didnot have on me, had to make the taxi stop at an ATM and he charged more for that. the Hotel is just adequate, has the basics but […] nothing more, it should be much cheaper for the level of service and maintenance provided. the location is good however.

While this hotel seemed like a relatively good value given the location, the experience generally was disappointing. The bed was comfy, the television worked, but the check-in service was slow and the bathroom was absolutely disgusting. There were large patches of mildew under the sink, a broken bathroom tissue holder (and no bathroom tissue to be found […] in the room at check-in), moldy and loose tiles in the shower. I wouldn't recommend it if you value a clean, comfy bathroom. Read more

This hotel is the flavor of old South Beach. A very fun place to stay. Convenient to the beach and many attractions.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

We had never been to Miami Beach before so did not have a point of reference when booking the hotel as to location and what to expect. When we arrived we discovered the hotel was right in the heart of the action. The hotel was so charming and even offered a free cocktail hour. The other patrons of the hotel were a diverse group and the staff was efficent […] and plesant. Our room was smaller than the photos on line lead us to believe, but it was fine. More like a European styled room and not oversized American style. The style was unique and really very charming. Shower was quite small but was really sufficent. This is not an area where one stays in the room for very long....sleep and shower. I would return or recommend without hesitation. Read more

I went down to south beach for my 34th Birthday celebration and really enjoyed my stay. The only down side was that I could not find microwave anywhere. We ate at a delicious Peruvian restaurant called El Chalan and I couldn't reheat my leftovers until I arrived home. On the upside I was not aware that you have to have a reservation to take the shuttle […] back to the airport. The conceirge desk was able to accomodate 2 extra people at the last minute and it was appreciated. Read more
