My husband gave me a week and a half to plan a vacation. We fly into Miami and rent a car. Now that part was easy. We want to see Miami and Key West. I have no idea and no time to research, we want to stay in Miami on the beach or very close, we aren't nightlife kind of people more layed back shopping kind. I thought there was a boardwalk or something I would like to see. We will be staying 1 night then driving to Key West then coming back and staying another night before flying out. Tell me where you think I should get a hotel. I've looked on all the discount websites (priceline etc) I'm not even sure what area I should pick, maybe the art deco area? Miami Beach? Downtown? Just name some hotels, areas I'll look into them. I really don't want to spend over $100 but maybe with last minute deals I could pick up something good. Do all hotels charge for parking? Any and all info is greatly appreciated.

WOW!

Read this first -

Stay a night at the Park Central or the Century (or the Strand if you can get the summer rate). Park at the 7th and Collins public parking garage. Drive to Islamorada and stay at Casa Morada one night see Pennekamp Park and then drive to KW.

Done.

Hi AG,

Which of the 3 hotels you recommended would be your first choice?? They are all within my budget!

Thanks,

I would think the Strand has the most room plus a kitchen facility en suite so you can stock a few breakfast things and snacks and beer or drinks to take up to their fabulous roof pool deck! Your husband will be SO impressed with you.
