The Holiday Inn on Miami Beach is a budget oceanfront hotel with rooms that offer either two double beds or one king-size bed. Its 1950's-inspired Miami modern façade mimics the art deco buildings that are scattered throughout the beach. Stretching 11 stories up, this budget hotel is located right on the beach, with rooms starting at just over $100 per night as of 2010, a steal for its location. While stretching out by the Atlantic Ocean is simple to do when staying here, guests can also relax by the pool, which is surrounded by gardens and palm trees. A health and fitness center is also located on site as well as a business center.

This small, boutique hotel is housed in a 1941 Art Deco building that was renovated in 1997. Pictures of Miami's past can be found hanging in the hotel lobby. The 112 rooms here are furnished very simply. The on-site eatery, Pilikia Café, offers complimentary breakfast for all guests, as well as lunch and dinner menus. Wireless Internet access is available throughout the hotel, and all guests are given beach towels and access to the business center. A pool can also be found in a secluded outdoor area surrounded by lush vegetation. The real star, however, is the ocean, which is only steps away.
