i would pay more and stay on south beach since you dont need a car. try the hotel anglers on washington ave. the area near the airport is awful! weekdays are great in sobe better than weekends since the miami trash works during the week. ask around what clubs to go to when you are here since every night is different.
the area around the airport in not condusive to walking; you will end up spending more just to get around in your rental car. you can stay on north beach or just north of south beach and it will be a little cheaper. Don t forget, the winters are in season in florida so you will pay more no matter what you do.
20 minutes is like at 5:00 am. Christmas week is one of the busiest weeks of the year. The causeways back up to gridlock it can take an hour to get from airport to beach. Then try park! By far the best way is to get a room on Miami Beach, even if it is away from the main action in South Beach. If you can t afford more than $100 a nite you should think about visiting someplace else.
when I d read $100. dollars I have think ..not that does not sound Miami. calculate 240 for the cheapest motel and/or inns hotel..to a club? You need a Agent to get in and that gonna cost You too.I don t want to discourage You ,give it try ,but do not get surprise by the costly .there is always a chance to find a crazy rich people spending lot of cash and inviting the people around.
you can enjoy nightlife even in the daytime in miami :)sunny isles beach has motels on the beach that are kinda cheap, me and my friends used to rent out rooms and throw parties in them it s a 15/20 minute drive to south beach
Avoid Miami Beach / South Beach. (Driving is awful there. Absolutely awful.)I d recommend staying at the Millenium Hotel, but you ve already budgeted yourself to $100.
the first motel you see, miami NEVER sleeps not even on weekdays
