Hotels near Miami Beach Boardwalk

"Our Miami trip itself was wonderful, but unfortunately our experience at Catalina Hotel & Beach Club was extremely disappointing. We stayed in a two queen poolside room from Sunday through Wednesday and ultimately checked out one day early due to several serious cleanliness, maintenance, and safety concerns. When we arrived, the room was not properly cleaned and we even found trash underneath the beds. Several outlets in the room were not functioning and the iron also did not work. The bathroom had a noticeable sewage odor when using the sink, and the room did not include a safe for belongings. There were also concerning safety issues with the room itself. The door had no peephole and no security latch, which made us uncomfortable from a safety standpoint. Basic amenities were lacking as well. We initially had no towels upon arrival and had to locate staff ourselves to obtain them. WiFi was extremely unreliable during the stay. The overall property condition was also disappointing. The elevator was out of service for the entire duration of our stay, hallway carpets were visibly dirty, and the rooftop pool pillows were filthy. Doors throughout the property slam very loudly and the hallways are not soundproof, so noise from staff and other guests was constant. The front desk staff did come to inspect the room after we reported the issues and refunded our resort fee, which we appreciated. We ultimately escalated the matter through Expedia, who refunded the unused night."

"Short staff: longer wait times for food, drinks, day beds. I paid ahead of time for my trip via Expedia, hotel staff did not communicate with Expedia and attempted to charge me a second time. "

"Our ocean view room was beautiful, and the beach staff were very nice. We will definitely come back!"

"Terrible! We arrived early, asked if we could check in, they said no but said we could put our bags in the corner with no security, it was just casually next to the vending machines. Went to the bathroom to change and there was no toilet paper or paper towels, asked the front desk guy and he gave me toilet paper and said he’d have to check with a maid to get paper towels. When we finally were able to get into the room, there was see through white curtains. No wash cloths, bathtub was filthy!!! Hair on the floor. Straight up nasty. "

"Stafff was super friendly and helpful "

"Great stay"

"It was clean. Very outdated, no microwave in the room only in the basement which was a bit creepy, the laundry room is also there. We spent close to $200 on the breakfast buffet and it’s literally like the free breakfasts they give at other hotels. Pool was small and outdated. I love the chill area behind the pool with games. "

"Husband and I were there in January to celebrate his birthday. We loved the place! Comfortable, accommodating and friendly! "

"VERY good hotel "
