Miami Beach Hotels
 

I'm looking for a recommendation for a hotel in the South Beach area of Miami Beach for next January. I'd prefer to pay no more than $120 per night, but I know that on a winter's weekend there you don't normally get too much for your money. I'd be willing to go up to $150 per night. No special requirements, other than I don't want anything noisy - so therefore want to stay away from the heart of Ocean Drive, say 6th to 11th streets.

good luck, you better start saving your money because under $150.00 is not going to happen

I just did a quick search on Travelocity and there are many hotels with a posted rate under $150.00. The only one I've ever stayed at is Essex House. It's on Collins, nice location. I'd stay there again. It wasn't fancy, but it was decent. We're spending a night at the Blue Moon in December, looks nice, but have never been before.

Had pretty much the same question myself - several I am looking at include the Greenview, Essex House, and Wave hotels. Essex House has been mentioned above. Anyone have experiences with these places?

Most South Beach hotels that charge $150 in December are likely to charge $250 or more in January. It's called season! December rates have nothing to do with January rates.

The Kent Hotel - one of the Island Outpost chain, is a good value for the money - about $12- - $145 per night.

The rates that I saw were for January dates entered in. The rate for the Blue Moon is $20-30 higher in January.

Even chepaer than those places mentioned is the youth hotel (which has some regular hotel rooms) on Espaniola Way.

Whatever you do don't stay at the Ramada Miami Beach. What a filthy disgusting dive!

Try priceline - I got my wife a room at the Loews for $100 a night and she loved it.
