smokiebk Posted December 8, 2005 #1 Share Posted December 8, 2005 We're getting into Miami two days before our cruise. Anyone have suggestions on a decent, but resonably priced SOBE hotel (under$250/night)??? Want to be somewhat near all the action & good stretch of beach if possible. Thanks.

TrentS Posted December 9, 2005 #2 Share Posted December 9, 2005 If you want to be in the real South Beach, near the action and are looking at this winter/spring be prepared to pay plenty... Unless you get lucky with a deal, "decent, reasonably priced" and South Beach don't go together in the winter/spring. Keep in mind that most South Beach hotels are quite old, with small rooms. The decent places have been gutted, remodeled and modernized. They're also very very pricey! The cheaper places have not been remodeled or modernized, and are quite nasty! South Beach is NOT someplace you want to do on the cheap - Unless you have very low standards, you'll be very sorry if you do. You'll also want to be very careful as some hotels that advertise themselves as "South Beach" are not in the real South Beach. You don't want to be too far north of the 1700/1800 block or it becomes too far to walk to anything. The heart of South Beach is between 5th & 15th Streets along Ocean Drive, and 5th & Lincoln Road along Collins & Washington Avenues. These are South Beach hotels that are nice/decent places...

signman Posted December 9, 2005 #3 Share Posted December 9, 2005 The Royal Palm has been coming up on Priceline in 4 star South Beach category. No guarantees, but a great deal if you get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokiebk Posted December 9, 2005 Author #4 Share Posted December 9, 2005 Ya, unfortunately, we'll be there during Spring Break season, so our choices might be limited. Thanks very much for the info guys. I guess it's off to do more research!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
