Miami Hotels

[surfymark]

So I find myself with a 2 night layover in Miami on the way somewhere in June.

Can anyone recommend a good hotel?

In terms of budget I am trying to keep it fairly low. I have been quoted the following for 2 nights in June:

Miami Beach Resort & Spa , Collins Ave £222
Days Inn, Oceanside £123
Ocean Five, Ocean Drive £172

In terms of location, I really have no clue! I am only there for 2 days but would like to be fairly near the beach and maybe some interesting night life. A swimming pool would be nice too but not essential.

I will need to get a taxi or shuttle bus to and from the airport so not too far away I guess would be good.

Any ideas?

cheers

You want to be near South Beach for things to do/walking distance etc. Think that rules out the place on Collins Ave.

Thanks for this. I notice Collins Avenue runs the entire length of the Miami Beach Peninsular (right through South Beach) so maybe/maybe not, I am not sure.

Anyone stayed in a hotel in Miami?

Many thanks

we stayed in a nice hotel top end of south beach /ocean drive, good location for beach, shops and cafes ect it was called St Augustine, think it was around £80 per night that included breakfast ,we had a great time there ended up staying 8days
no pool but 5min walk to fab beach

Just watching that 'Holiday Hit Squad' program on BBC1, you might want to avoid the 'Cavalier Hotel' on Ocean Drive at all costs!

Thanks for that guys. I will be sure to avoid that hotel!

Definitely go for South Beach. Loads to do, great nightlife and some lovely restaurants.

I've stayed at the Loews Miami Beach Hotel which was nice.

Thanks for this. It seems to be coming out about at just over £300 so a bit too much for me I think but will bear in mind.
