The Catalina Hotel and Beach Club

Not sure why this hotel is categorized as a 4 star. I will give it a 1 star if that. The place was a dump. Small rooms, extremely dirty, and a decoration from hell. [...]WHAT A DISSAPOINTMENT!!!!!

One of the worst places I have ever stayed. Dirty, noisy, crummy construction. Awful loading and unloading access. Rip off valet parking for $32 a day and it took almost 45 minutes to get your car when needed.Almost all employees had atrocious attitudes. Was advertised as being on the beach and it wasn't. I tried to go cheap and got even less than I paid for. You know the old saying " you get what you pay for" well it certainly applies here. this was rated 3 or 4 stars on [...] which was a complete joke and i wouldn't give it one star. Please please please don't male the mistake I did on this one The restaurant ran out of eggs and potatoes for breakfast at 9:30 am How on earth can that happen?

[...] did not due it's homework on this location. The pictures on [...] are completely inaccurate. This hotel has not been remodeled, and is a dump. The bathroom tub's ceramic was cracking with paint tearing away from the entire tube. The bathroom's floor tiles were missing and the toilet was 30 years outdated. [...].This hotel was not the initial hotel that I booked, and [...] moved me here while ensuring that it was commensurate to my initial selection. I was completely let down. The staff at the hotel even admitted that the property was nowhere close or should be rated 3 out of 5 stars. This property is 1 out of 10 stars. The hotel didn't even have a working ice machine! The lobby was renovated, but that was all for this dump!

Checked in - got stuck in elevator = between floors- kept ringing alarm NO one came- after 8 minutes we called the front desk. Beds uncomfortable practically laying on the floor. Hotel colors are RED- red everywhere.RED Shag carpeting! Low ceilings, low lighting probably so you can't see. After spending 1 nite we asked for our money back-but pay for the 1 nite stay- they said we had to contact the 3rd party. Still waiting for a money return- booked across the street for $40 more per nite at a beautiful hotel

This is one of those hotels that looks great on paper and ends up being a huge disappointment. The walls are incredibly thin (from the bathroom I could perfectly understand every word of a conversation next door) and since many of the guests are there to party it's virtually impossible to sleep at night. The beds were creaky and uncomfortable.

Me and my friends booked a room at the Carlton hotel from the pictures on-line it looked like a great place nice white sheets, spacious rooms and it was a good price. It was also located close to where we wanted to stay close to seventh and Collins where the restaurants and more popular part of the beach. Once we got to the room and checked in we were beyond disgusted and disappointed to find that the room was filthy dirty small and completely unsanitary hair was all over the room in our clean towls and on the floor and bed!The sheets,carpets,curtains stains with black yellow and brown marks!Even the tub had rust on it and dust was on everything!!!

This place was really bad. I showed up at 2:30 to see if i can check in a lil early, but the staff said the room wasnt ready till 3, so i said okay. But by 3 the room still wasnt ready and there was about 4 other couple waiting for their rooms. Thats not all i see people checking in way after me and they have their rooms all ready for them. When i told them i wanted to cancel, thats when tell told me my room just opened up. [...]

Have never been a hotel that was so bad. There were no conforts at all. If you read all of the above items that the room did not have you will see why we did not enjoy our experience. It surely was not a 5 star hotel as stated when I booked it.

My experience at this hotel was quite poor. The room was small and cramped, had bad lighting and was very unclean. The bathroom was also very cramped with a coldish no pressure shower head and housing a family of tiny bugs that seemed to multiply everyday. The roof top pool is small and warm... pictures are very misleading so beware when booking!!!!! No way in hell this is a 4 star hotel as claimed

very old facility, had to run water about 10 mins to get any hot water, no dressers or stands to place luggage, no washcloths, sunk into bed , very uncomfortable no infromation about facility bad stay.
