Tips for finding hotels in Miami
Book the hotel as early as possible – This tip applies for the U.S. in general. The earlier you book, the more likely you are to find cheaper hotels.
Book shabbat meals ahead of time – If your staying in a kosher friendly hotel or ordering kosher meals, some require orders to be placed by noon on Thursdays, so check the details ahead of time.
If you’re looking mainly for nightlife – It’s recommended to look for accommodations in the South Beach area or near Lincoln Road. You can also find accommodations in downtown Miami, a short ride from South Beach which in recent years has become a lively area.
Search for a hotel on major booking sites – Such as Booking. These sites are updated regularly and offer a wide variety of hotels, so they usually offer you the best price. Make sure the booking offers a cancellation option. Also check the hotel rating: usually a rating below 8 suggests the hotel isn’t good.
