Cheap Hotels in Lakes by the Bay

Clean and a cool place.

I had high hopes for EAST Miami after seeing it all over TikTok — and let me tell you, it did not disappoint. From the moment we arrived, the experience was seamless and impressive. Our flight landed at 10 a.m., well before the 3 p.m. check-in time, but the staff was incredibly accommodating and got us into a room with no hassle. That alone deserves a shoutout. The views? Stunning. The rooms? Spotless. But what really stood out was the high-tech elevator system — you literally cannot access your floor without scanning your keycard at a sleek, futuristic scanner that automatically assigns your elevator. The pool vibes were immaculate, perfect for relaxing or snapping content. And the location? You’re just steps away from Brickell City Centre, which made exploring and shopping super convenient. ✨ Side plug: Do yourself a favor and try the Josper Chicken at Marabú (3rd floor of Brickell City Centre) — unreal! And don’t skip the bar at Quinto — top-tier drinks and atmosphere. If I had to mention one downside, it would be the lack of a microwave in the rooms. After several failed attempts to reheat leftovers, we ended up tossing perfectly good food. It’s a small inconvenience, but worth noting if you plan to bring back meals. That said, my overall experience at EAST Miami was nothing short of amazing. I’d absolutely stay here again — and recommend it to anyone visiting Miami!

Staff friendly and helpful. Very clean.

Was nice , I didn’t like that we had to pay $75 for early check in . Other than that it was cool

Excellent hotel.

Amazing property from the friendly staff, HUGE king suite overlooking the water, beautiful terrace and pool with the wicker "hershey kisses". Will stay again!
