3 days southern Florida, where?

I am German and have been touring the southern US for the last 2 weeks. Have been to Disney, Cape Canveral, Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas, Tenessee, South Carolina and now Georgia. I am looking for a nice and inexpensive Motel or Hotel in Southern Florida between Jan19 to 22. Where should I stay?? I found many places to be either not very clean or outrageously expensive. Sorry for the typos, I am typing on my mobile phone.
Thanks!

I suggest Hollywood Beach Florida between Ft.Lauderdale and Miami.

In particular either the Seagate Apartments or the Mirador Motel.

Cheap, clean, have either kitchens or kitchenettes, heated pool, stones throw from beach.

In southern Florida, the place to be is South Beach in Miami. This is a seperate strip of land right on the beach with shops and night life. This is where J-Lo and Paris Hilton hang out. It is a very funny place to shop and people watch. You won't believe the fancy cars and skimpy clothes. There are a lot of older hotels just off the beach for reasonable prices. The best place to check them all is www.tripadvisor.com. They have a great rate search engine that uses all the other search engines and there will be a ton of reviews about the properties.

If it is getting too hard to use your mobile phone to do all of this, you can stop into any public library in the U.S. and they will probably have free internet access for you to use.

Or if you want to go all the way south, try Key West.

I would suggest Delray Beach,FL. It has everything you could want on a vaction. Great Beach, Great Food, Great Entertainment, & Great Hotels. I would suggest checking out CranesBeachHouse.com it is reasonably priced and luxurious. It is within walking distance to the beach, great resturaunts, & entertainment. The room are suites complete with kitchen areas, they have 2 different pools that are amazing. I could go on and on about the hotel but I won't. If I were visiting south Florida this is where I would go. Good Luck & have fun where ever you go.

Based on where you have visited in the past, I think you might like the southwest part of the state more than the southeast.

Fort Myers area, for example.

South Beach is outragiously expensive this time of year. Even the dumps are getting $150+ per night.
