Budget Miami Hotels - Cinco de Mayo

Join the Cinco de Mayo celebration as you stay at our budget Miami hotel. Thousands of festive people will be tipping their sombreros to the Mexican army’s 1862 victory over France at the Battle of Puebla on May 5th. Miami’s largest fiesta will be located on Brickell Avenue between the W Hotel & Bank of America, replete with sombreros, mustaches, tequila shots, premium margaritas and Mexican beer. This popular event will also feature energetic DJs, authentic Mariachis and much more.

For many Americans, this yearly event means enjoying Mexican food and sipping margaritas, but Cinco de Mayo, which means May 5th in Spanish, is probably one of the most misunderstood Mexican holidays. Cinco de Mayo has become more of an American fiesta than a Mexican holiday, and most non-Mexican Americans have no idea about the day's history. If you went to any bar on May 5th and asked someone what this day was about, they probably wouldn’t know, but that doesn’t ever stop the fiesta.

Miami’s Cinco de Mayo festivities bring people together from all parts of the world for a wild evening, so don’t miss this popular annual event. The friendly staff at our cheap hotel in Miami can provide more information about the Brickell event and several other local fiestas that will occur on this festive day.

5 Ways to Save Money on Your Miami Accommodations

5. Revisit the Same Hotel. You may be able to get great deals at Miami hotels when you stay at the same place (or the same hotel chain) each time you travel. When you book your room, mention that you’ve previously stayed at their hotel. They want your repeat business and may offer you a better rate – or, at the very least, an upgraded room.

4. Try Haggling. In some cases, you can negotiate a room rate at a budget hotel in Miami, but it's important to do this tactfully. Present your initial offer so that it doesn't create a combative exchange. For example, you can ask if they might consider dropping their rate by 10 percent. Sometimes, you'll get a positive response, but if you get a solid "no" or the person seems offended, let it go.

3. Surf the Web for Deals. The Internet can help you save money on virtually everything, including Miami hotel rooms. It takes a bit more confidence to book your Miami vacations online, but you can find great rewards.

2. Timing Is Everything. When it comes to getting a good deal on Miami accommodations, timing can be everything. One of the easiest ways to trim your travel budget is to go off-season. You'll also save on airfare, and you might appreciate some additional perks, like shorter lines.

1. Use Membership Programs and Occupational Advantages. AAA and AARP members often qualify for reduced hotel rates. The same holds true for people in certain occupations, such as educators and military personnel. If you are either of these or work for a nonprofit organization, mention it when making reservations for your Miami vacation.
