We thought early this morning your only hope was some poor New Orleans fan trying to get rid of hotel rooms on Miami Craigslist.
But we just got word from a Hyatt Select representative that two of their Miami hotels still have rooms available and are extremely affordable.
The AmeriSuites Miami is about 30 miles from Dolphin Stadium and has suites open for $189 a night, no minimum stay required. The suites come with in-room microwave and refrigerator, free WiFi, and free hot breakfast. There's also a fitness center and swimming pool on site.
The only downside here is that you are right off the Florida Turnpike. But if you are driving to the stadium and back, this is an easy stop.
At the Summerfield Suites, 1/4 miles from the Miami aiport and about 19 miles from the stadium, there are one and two-bedroom suites available starting at $199 a night, with no minimum stay required. Each suite has a living room with a pull-out couch, workspace, internet, full kitchen and a private bedroom with phone and TV. There's also free breakfast, complimentary airport shuttle and a fitness center and outdoor swimming pool.
The downside here normally would be that it's right by the airport and strictly a business traveler's hotel. But with no minimum stay requirement, this is a good pick for you and your friends willing to sleep on the sofa couch.

With Super Bowl Sunday coming up quick, most people attending the game or the parties have already landed in Miami. But should you decide you to head to Miami on a whim, Craiglist is popping with people trying to unload their hotel rooms.
For other hotel room suggestions, check out the slew of Super Bowl hotel stories that we have done for the past two weeks. But we can't guarrantee these hotels will still have rooms open. We did our best but c'mon, the Super Bowl does start in about 2 days 12 hours 19 minutes and 13 seconds. As our wise 7th grade social studies teacher once told us--If you fail to plan, plan to fail.

Looks like the Royal Palm Hotel still has some rooms open for this weekend's big game. There's no minimum stay, but if you just want to crash Sunday night, it'll cost you $1,200. A better deal can be had with a multiple night stay--Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights will cost you $699 per night. Thursday's going for only $299. The Royal Palm is on Collins Ave. so there's bound to be plenty of partying going on--or so we'd assume.
See, we told you about the Royal Palm back in September, when plans for the Maxim Lounge were first announced. The lounge will be open for Super Bowl weekend, but that leaves us with one question: Why is Maxim having its Super Bowl party at 8pm on Feb. 2 at The Sagamore?

The Hampton Inn & Suites in Miami West at Doral Boulevard has rooms open for Super Bowl at the totally do-able price of $299 a night. You can select from either a king bed or two double beds. Suites with full kitchens go up to $399 a night.
And as far as we can tell there is no minimum nights stay required. You can book a room for Sunday, checking out Monday morning still at the $299 rate. Plus the TripAdvisor reviews are above average.
As far as getting to South Beach for parties and to Dolphin Stadium for the actual game, this Hampton Inn is about 20 minutes away from both.
One thing we can vouch for is the nearby Dolphin Mall (.5 miles away). This is a mix of outlet stores and small retail shops but there is Saks Off 5th Avenue and a Neiman Marcus Last Call there which we've have personally hit up several times before.
So if ladies are on the trip and bored, this mall is worth checking out.

The Seminole Hard Rock in Hollywood, Fla is about 20 minutes away from the Super Bowl's Dolphin Stadium and about 40 minutes away from South Beach. And unlike an airport hotel in Miami, rooms here are less than $700 a night, but not by much. We found rooms available on Friday night for $349 but which then jump up to $509 for Saturday and Sunday.
Aside from being close to the action and having hotel rooms available the Seminole Hard Rock is hosting a slew of Super Bowl parties this week. Tonight is the premiere event with a full-length concert by Prince at Hard Rock Live. Starting at 8pm, Prince (who is the featured performer for the Super Bowl's halftime show) will be performing all his greatest hits like "When Doves Cry" "1999 and "Purple Rain." Come to think of it, we are not sure we know any "new" Prince songs. Either way, tickets range from $100-$400 and are available through Ticketmaster.com, as are all the events at the Hard Rock.
More on the Seminole Hard Rock Super Bowl Parties after the jump.
Down in Miami it is Super Bowl XLI Media Day. No idea if the folks from Deadspin are credential toting, or, more likely, party crashing, but one thing is for sure, they are on the scene. AJ Daulerio, who if we aren't mistaken, filled us in on the Detroit festivities last year, will get to hang out in a place people actually want to go to this time around--Miami.
Of course Gawker Media sprung for a hotel right on Collins--Royal Palm or the Raleigh right?
*No parking
*No internet in the room
*Lots of Indian fellas dressed in hip-hop gear.
Plus, the room itself, although equipped with a double-bed and most of the amenities suitable for halfway house poshness, comes with a television that has three working channels. It's not as bad as "cheese or snow," but Telemundo and ABC, which are only minor upgrades. Tonight, I shall shower with lye and dry myself off with the sanitary strip covering the toilet seat, which will be much more effective than the towels provided.
In our opinion he went easy on the place, but we are enjoying his Super Bowl coverage, as always.

With just five days to go until the Super Bowl, there's no need to stress about finding a hotel room as there are plenty of options available.
Even Club Med Sandpiper in South Florida wants to get in on the Super Bowl action, despite being a two hour drive from Miami. From Feb. 2-8, the resort is offering a special rate of $150 a night. But don't expect some wild Super Bowl party here as the resort is extremely family oriented.
Meanwhile the Miami Herald reports that hotel rooms in Crowne Plaza in Sawgrass Mills are still available as is the Hilton Miami Airport for $699 a night. The Herald also reported, interestingly enough, that of 51 hotels they surveyed only 18 hotels were entirely sold out.
. Sports travel brokers said they would have expected more sellouts a week before Super Bowl. The vacancies could make it hard for hotels to reap the kind of sky-high profits many expected for the weekend.
But don't expect their prices to come down any bit. The NFL's Super Bowl XLI site is offering a four-night minimum stay at the DoubleTree Hotel on Bayshore Drive for $399 a night (king bed). Also available is a suite for four people at $750 a night and a double bed room for $429 a night. Or if you wanna get some SPG points out of your trip, the Sheraton Bal Harbour has a double bed room for $419 a night. If you're splitting amongst friends, these rates are actually very reasonable.

As we mentioned last week, the Catalina Hotel is throwing a Super Bowl party and the good news is you don't need to plunk down $950 for a hotel room for four nights to attend.
Geared for bowlgoers who either couldn't get a ticket or didn't try, the hotel's Big Game Party is modeled after the old parking lot tailgates but instead of fat guys in football jerseys and barbeques, you will find models and lounge seating with the game playing on the hi-def flat screens and projected on the walls. Food from the hotel's Maxine Restaurant will be served all night long and the beer will be flowing.
But the best news about this party is that it's open to the public and there's no cover to get in.
