Whether you are looking for cheap hotels in South Beach, near the airport, or in downtown Miami, there are simple ways to find excellent deals online. The only catch is this – you have to know where to look.
But before you can know where to look, you have to know what you are looking for. And that is where two important questions come to mind. 1) Where do you want to stay, and 2) How much do you want to pay?
Let’s tackle the first question first.
Where do you want to stay in Miami?
1. Cheap hotels around Miami airport – one of the best hotels around the airport is the La Quinta Inn and Suites near the Miami airport. The reviews for the La Quinta are very good, and there are a lot of them (more than 1,500). Currently this La Quinta has an average 4-star review which is the highest review rating for any hotels around the Miami airport.
2. Cheap hotels in South Beach, Miami – naturally, there are people that want to stay in the heart of the action, and they don’t mind paying a little more to do so. The good news is that there are plenty of hotel options in the South Beach Miami area, so I will mention 3 of the most popular.
- The Palms Hotel South Beach – this hotel is very popular because of its location. It has more than 5,000 reviews on Google with an average rating of 4 stars.
- The Crowne Plaza Hotel in South Beach is also very popular and rated with 4 stars. Visitors mainly talked about what a great location this hotel was in and how nice the staff was.
- Finally, the Beacon Hotel on South Beach has over 5,000 reviews with a 4-star rating so you will find plenty of input from people who have already stayed.
Note: some people know that they want to stay on Collins Avenue. If so, take a look at the Kent Hotel or the Lombardy Hotel.
3. Cheap hotels in downtown Miami – now if you are in Miami on business or don’t want to be right on the beach, then there are some options for you to stay in downtown Miami. If you want to stay downtown, I recommend you look at the Hampton Inn Coconut Grove Hotel. This is the most highly rated of the cheap hotels in Miami downtown area, so you probably won’t go wrong by staying there.
How much do you want to pay in Miami?
This is where the rubber meets the road, if you will. There are certainly places we would all like to stay, but can we or do we want to pay for them?
Most of the hotels I have reviewed up to this point have been your common 3 and 4 star hotels. Your certainly not staying in the dumps, but you aren’t paying out the nose for a place to lay your head. But, if you are of the mind to spend the money on luxury hotels, let me assure you, you will find plenty of options in Miami.
1. Four Seasons Hotel in Miami – this hotel has a 5-star rating with more than 1,100 reviews, so you know they are doing something right. You should expect to pay as little as $350 per night during the offseason to as much as $675 during the peak season.
2. The EPIC hotel – this is another option for a luxury Miami stay. The EPIC is a beautiful hotel with all kinds of night life and clubs around, so you can be sure there will not be a dull moment. Also, if you enjoy beautiful architecture, this EPIC hotel is known as one of the most amazing and exquisite luxury hotels in the area.
