A stay at the Clay is an exciting (and cheap) way to enjoy Miami Beach
If I were asked to name the single best hotel bargain in America, I'd probably refer to a charming, "roaring twenties" pile once inhabited by the likes of Al Capone and Desi Arnaz in South Miami Beach, Florida. It's called the Clay Hotel; its nicely furnished private rooms have phones, TV and air conditioning, and yet they rent this summer for only $56 a night per double room with shared bath and $80 per double room with private bath. The hotel also has dormitory-like hostel facilities for young or unpretentious travelers that are among the best of their kind and cost only $23 to $28 per person per night. And yet the Clay is within an easy walk of the beach, a quick stroll from the Lincoln Road pedestrian mall and restaurant row and all the rest of the sizzling scene in South Beach. Call 800/379-2529 or log on to www.clayhotel.com.
