Hi! We are four students who is planning to stay at the clay hotel i sb, fl.
Any outher rekommendations in South Beech?
Would be most greatful.
Best regards Matt.

Either this is a puton, or you should forget about South Beach and go back to school to learn to spell and use the English language correctly!

I think the previous post is a bit harsh, especially since you don't know if English is the poster's native language. It is a pet peeve of mine when obvious words are misspelled, though, especially in the header! As for the hotel, I can't help...not familiar with it.

Get off your horse, noname. Don't you realize that people from outside the US might want to visit here, also, and that they may not use English as a primary language? Thanks for showing such nice hospitality to people wishing to visit the US, which has a worldwide reputation as having very rude, egotistical, narcissistic citizens when it comes to appreciating foreign culture.
Matt: I humbly apologize for the above note. It was written by a young person who has little appreciation for the foreign culture and customs.
As for South Beach, you'll find that it is vibrant, packed with interesting restaurants and clubs and bars, and that it draws a large, often young crowd which is probably what you are looking for. To see most of the highlights, you can simply walk up and down Collins Avenue and the other streets adjacent to the beach and follow the crowds. Some of the popular clubs are a few blocks away, though, and the 'hot' clubs change with great frequency. You might ask what's trendy at your hotel's front desk. I don't know the Clay Hotel, though. As with any large city, please use care in staying away from streets that are dark and empty, do not drink to the point that you begin to lose your wariness, don't carry large amounts of cash, try not to appear 'foreign' or disoriented when out in the town, but enjoy the great beaches and nightlife of Miami. It can be great fun.

Well..Hopefully i will spell a bit better after a few weeks in miami=).
Thank you all for your help. matt.

Don't come down so hard on noname. He/she could be correct. Why wouldn't they say where they are from in the first place? That would be the logical thing to do! Where are you from Matt?

Sprechen Sie Deutche?
With the name Mattias and the fact that recommendations was spelled with a 'k' would make me think the poster is from Germany(?). Just a guess.

Anyway, I stayed at the Clay hotel last February. It's a combination hostel/hotel. It has a very young crowd. The Hotel itself is in a great location and it's well run. Considering how inexpensive it was, the rooms were decent. The building has a funky 1920's mediteranean look to it. I think Desi Arnaz used to play in the lobby way back in the old days.
Have fun!

Hello,

I think Mattias is Norwegian, because Telia in his adress is a Norwegian Telco company. And for noname, that`s exactly why I always hesitate to post a question on the American board. There could easily be 10 mistakes in that post, because I`m German and no native speaker. So-is it about travel or about grammar and spelling?

Miriam

Sorry,
I meant Swedish...Telia is a Swedish company but very well known all over Scandinavia..

Okay, I do apologize. I guess I'm wrong. I am truly sorry, Matt. Please accept my apologies. Next time, I won't be so hasty! Please enjoy South Beach. It's great!

Miriam, please don't hesitate to post questions on the American board. We're not as arrogant and ill-mannered as some of the responses would have you believe.

Noname, if grammar is your game then I believe 'puton' should be written as 'put-on'.

Joe, you could be right. But, be nice, after all, I apolojized.

I know, Joe, it should be "apologize." See, you got me flustered!

Noname, sorry to get you flustered.
Maybe Fodor's could add a spell-check option to this board so we wouldn't make as many mistakes.

Good suggestion, Joe, but I really doubt they'll do it! (Hey, it certainly would have saved me from apologizing in the first place! See, I do have a sense of humor!)
