Going to spend an overnight in Miami. Will be getting in around 3, and have to drive up to FLL in the late morning, so I am not looking to do much, maybe grab a nice dinner somewhere. What I really want is a hotel with good views, especially of the storms and moon at night (will be a few days off of the full moon). I will have a car, so I can get away from the airport, flip side is I need parking that won't be too expensive. i am trying not to spend a fortunate, but wouldn't mind something nice.

So what would you suggest? I am not sure if I want to stay downtown, or closer to the beach, or closer inland. But would prefer to be closer to Miami that night than Fort Lauderdale.
