The Clay Hotel
The Clay Hotel ranks No. 1 for best cheap hotel in Miami Beach for both its affordability and its perfect location. Situated right on the Espanola Way walking promenade and facing the nightlife corridor of Washington Avenue, the hotel is also just two blocks from the beach. The hotel is a 1930s-era Spanish colonial building and has several internal patios. The hotel not only offers some of the best deals on private rooms in all of South Beach but also has an adjoining hostel where you can bunk up with international travelers for an even cheaper rate.

Ocean Spray Hotel
The Ocean Spray Hotel offers basic but comfortable rooms that are affordable, considering they are right across the street from the beach. Its location, about 30 blocks up from the heart of South Beach, removes you from some of the nightlife action. But that means there will be less noise and traffic. The Ocean Spray Hotel also offers deals on monthly stays and may be one of the best deals for long-term visits to Miami Beach.

Penguin Hotel
The Penguin Hotel is probably the best deal on a classic art deco hotel right on the strip of Ocean Drive. The front porch cafe is one of the best people-watching spots in all of Miami Beach, and the beach itself lies just across the street.
