"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."

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

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
