Frommer's "This hotel presents a serious catch-22: It's got a front-row view of all of Miami Beach, Biscayne Bay, the Miami River, and the Atlantic Ocean, but it is also located in downtown Miami." Full review

"This huge 641-room downtown tower has been regularly renovated -- the lobby was redone in 2008, and guestrooms were refreshed in 2012." Full review
Star Service "This is the queen of the second tier, a colorful and superbly located hotel that has been checking off all the important boxes since it opened in the early 1980s." Full review

Avoid the older units if at all possible.
Gayot "This 34-story tall landmark hotel with 641 guest rooms and suites is located within walking distance of the international Bayside Marketplace and central to the city's business district."
BlackBook "Stylish enough and big with the business crowd or those who want to be smack in the middle of downtown Miami."

""Knowledgeable" staff members who are "willing to go the extra mile" cater to a a corporate crowd at this "gorgeous" Downtown high-rise in the business district."
Not For Tourists "Overhyped and underwhelming."
Jetsetter "Downtown waterfront escape with three restaurants, striking artworks and a rooftop pool overlooking Biscayne Bay." Full review

Concierge "The Catalina is a rock 'n' roll mod fantasy: There's red shag carpeting everywhere, curvy white furniture, and thumping music in the lobbies and out by the pool."

"Designed for randy 20-somethings who can rage until 4 a.m., the Catalina can be a godsend." Full review
Travel + Leisure "The Catalina takes the value-added approach to South Beach nightlife and succeeds without feeling cheap or cheesy." Full review
Time Out "The flagship boutique of the South Beach Group, the Catalina is fun, trendy and affordable, if a bit rough around the edges." Full review

Ask for a quiet room if you don't like a party.
Star Service "The location here, across the beach from the Marseilles and kitty-corner from the Delano and SLS, is about as close to the heat as you can get without having your hand in the fire." Full review
Gayot "It is actually, as its budget prices suggest, across Collins Avenue from this uptown Sobe strip's ultra-upscale oceanfront hotels."
BlackBook "Here is where you stay if you want to do all the chic hotel bar-hopping at the Delano, Shore Club, et. al, but would rather not pay to stay there."
Fodor's "The Catalina is the budget party spot in the heart of South Beach's hottest block and attracts plenty of 20somethings with its free nightly drink hour." Full review
Not For Tourists "Tendy hipster art deco hotel without the trendy hipster prices."
Afar Magazine "As for the cost, it’s the perks that make the Catalina worth the price tag, which is reasonable compared to its oceanfront neighbors." Full review
