Mountain Meadows Bed & Breakfast

$$ | 542 Albany Post Rd., New Paltz, NY, 12561, USA

Linger over breakfast by the pool and hot tub, which face the Shawangunk cliffs, or in the country kitchen.

In the tiny village of Hatch, 15 miles south of Panguitch, you'll find this nicely maintained and reasonably priced campus of cozy cabins and standard hotel rooms, all of them spotlessly clean and attractively decorated with modern furnishings, large flat-screen TVs, refrigerators, microwaves, and high-quality bedding.

Mountain Sky Guest Ranch

$$$$ | 480 Big Creek Rd., Emigrant, MT, 59027, USA

This full-service guest-ranch resort in the middle of scenic Paradise Valley and 30 miles north of Yellowstone National Park is a family favorite. The cabins feel luxurious after a day in the saddle. The children's programs offer age-appropriate activities such as hiking, swimming, crafts, hayrides, campfires, and a talent show. Dinners range from Western barbecue to gourmet treats such as grilled bison tenderloin and pan-roasted king salmon. There's a seven-night minimum stay in summer.

Pros

  • Variety, preparation, and abundance of food win raves
  • Plenty of cabins
  • Nannies are welcome at a lower, flat rate

Cons

This four-season resort hosts everything from cross-country skiing and snowshoeing on 37 miles of trails in the winter to horseback riding, tennis, and swimming and boating in the 740-acre lake throughout the rest of the year. A spa offers a full range of treatments, and the dining room and tavern have a casual, publike feel that benefits from recent renovations with floor-to-ceiling windows looking out to mountain views.

Mountain View Grand Resort & Spa

$$ | 101 Mountain View Rd., Whitefield, NH, 03598, USA

Casual elegance and stunning views of the White Mountains define this stately yellow wedding cake of a hotel that dates to 1865 and sprawls over 1,700 acres that include a working farm and a well-maintained golf course. The period-furnished rooms have tall windows to take advantage of those impressive Presidential Range vistas, and the activity offerings—geared both to kids and adults—are extensive, including a movie theater, indoor pool, campfires with s'mores, mountain biking, hiking, dogsledding, ice-skating, and cross-country skiing. The restaurant and bar serve three meals daily.

Pros

  • Full-service spa
  • Dozens of activities
  • Babysitting service and summer camp

Mountain View Lodge

$$$$ | 25 Wapato Point Pkwy., Manson, 98831, USA

This family-run motor lodge in the laid-back town of Manson is just a 10-minute walk from the shore of Lake Chelan and several tasting rooms and restaurants. Although the rooms are a little dark, and the decor is a bit dated, it's a convenient base for wine touring and exploring the region. In addition to standard rooms, there are family suites with kitchenettes.

Pros

  • Pretty outdoor pool (seasonal) and hot tub
  • Friendly, helpful staff
  • Nice views of the mountains

Mourelatos Lakeshore Resort

$$ | 6834 N. Lake Blvd., Tahoe Vista, CA, 96148, USA

At first glance, this family-run waterfront property looks like a slightly above-average two-story motel, but it legitimately lays claim to the title of resort thanks to a private beach; two hot tubs; alluring lake and mountain vistas; and summertime barbecuing, kayaking, and other extras. About half the rooms have king beds, queen sofabeds, and full kitchens, a boon for families or other groups. The remaining kings and all the queens have wet bars. All rooms have patios or balconies, and though the buildings are perpendicular to the lake, the windows are angled to maximize the views. Book well ahead for summer stays; look for online bargains for the rest of the year.

Pros

  • Multinight discounts
  • Some rooms have full kitchens
  • Additional cabins and cottages across the highway

Cons

  • Modest style
  • Books up quickly for summer
  • Minimum-stay requirement on weekends in-season

Movie Colony Hotel

$$ | 726 N. Indian Canyon Dr., Palm Springs, CA, 92262, USA

Designed in 1935 by Albert Frey, this intimate, adults-only hotel leans hard into the mid-century minimalist aesthetic throughout its gleaming-white, balcony-studded, two-story buildings and its residential-style rooms, where the accents and bright colors are era-accurate. Although some of the furniture feels like its part of an IKEA golden age collection, the property has recently added such mod cons as Wi-Fi, Keurig coffeemakers, flat-screens, and pillowtop king beds. A cool vibe prevails—in the morning over coffee and continental breakfast, in late afternoon by the pool, and in the evening by the courtyard fire feature.

Pros

  • Architectural icon
  • Cool vibe
  • Property-wide remodel in 2019

Cons

  • Close quarters, small pool area
  • Basic breakfast
  • Staff not available 24/7

Moxy Boston Downtown

$$ | 240 Tremont St., Boston, MA, 02116, USA

Enter the Moxy to find a delivery truck selfie station, an infectious party vibe, and hanging neon lights that spell "theatre," which means it fits right into its Theater District location. However, to check in, guests must go up to second floor (where you'll also get a complimentary house cocktail), or just use a mobile phone for keyless room entry. All guest rooms are intentionally small and feature one queen-size bed and furniture that can be folded and moved—the trade-off is inexpensive rates for a central location. There is a 24-hour snack station, and lots of social space, including Bar Moxy.  

Pros

  • Floor-to-ceiling windows in every room
  • Close to all Boston's theaters
  • Fitness center

Cons

  • Not good for families
  • Lots of street noise
  • No valet

Meals aren't included, but there's a full-service restaurant on the premises, as well as a podcast studio for guests who want to be heard beyond city limits.

Pros

  • Up-to-date decor
  • Games in the lobby
  • Excellent shower

  • Small rooms

  • Very little peace you'll find

Moxy Chelsea

$$ | 105 W. 28th St., New York, NY, 10001, USA

Moxy pays tribute to the historic trade in this part of Chelsea, the Flower District, with an on-site florist, a rooftop club 35 floors up called the Fleur Room, and bunches of flowers set in random spaces. The small, but stylish rooms have comfortable king-size beds, floor-to-ceiling windows (upper floors have killer views), and showers are tastefully, bedecked in white tile with rain shower heads. The groundfloor hosts an artisanal bakery, the second-floor bar/lounge serves snacks and cocktails, and the glass-enclosed rooftop bar has 360-degree Manhattan views

Pros

  • Complimentary morning coffee at in-house café
  • Great views from guest rooms
  • Rain showerheads

Cons

Moxy NYC East Village

$$ | 112 E. 11th St., New York, NY, 10003, USA

The hip Moxy Hotel, which uses playful design details like graffitied mirrors and concert-poster wall art to conjure the neighborhood's gritty past, has an upbeat vibe that fits in seamlessly with what is now a trendy part of the East Village. Rooms aren’t large but make excellent use of space and all have big windows that let in lots of light. There’s plenty of room to relax downstairs in the lobby lounge, which has comfy couches, a terrace that's open to the outdoors in warm-weather months, an all-day café counter, and a full bar serving innovative cocktails. 

Pros

  • Great location near restaurants, shopping, and transportation
  • Comfortable and stylish lobby lounge
  • Happening all-season rooftop bar

Cons

Moxy Times Square

$ | 485 7th Ave., New York, NY, 10018, USA

Among Midtown's trendy lodging choices is this good-value hotel designed with modern boutique swagger and a vibrant dining and drinking scene. One of several Moxy hotels in NYC, it's perched between Times Square and Penn Station. To maximize limited space, guest rooms employ \"urban camping\" design features such as under-the-bed drawers, hooks instead of closets, and sinks outside the bathroom. Expect comfort no matter the room or bed sizes (even for the bunk beds in some rooms, a treat for kids). Enjoy a drink at Bar Moxy or dine at seafood-centric Legasea. Magic Hour is one of Manhattan's biggest rooftop spaces; half nightclub and half bar, it's decorated as a sort of adults-only amusement park.

Pros

  • Affordable rates
  • Central location near public transit
  • Vibrant on-site restaurants and bars

Cons

  • Small rooms with minimal storage
  • Loud street noise
  • Sink is in main room

Mt. Charleston Lodge and Cabins

$ | 5355 Kyle Canyon Rd., Las Vegas, NV, 89124, USA

At the end of Route 157 at 7,717 feet above sea level, you find this lodge on the perch of Kyle Canyon. The two dozen cabins are all separate structures with outside entries and varying layouts, including a \"lovebirds\" cabin with private mountain views, and a 750-square-foot events cabin for small meetings and/or family retreats. All of them have an outside patio deck, satellite TV with a DVD player and a large selection of DVDs in the main office, gas fireplace, jetted bathtub, mini-refrigerator, and microwave. In September 2021, the lodge's restaurant burned down in a fire and has yet to be rebuilt.

Mt. Hood Oregon Resort

$$ | 68010 E. Fairway Ave., Welches, OR, 97067, USA

In the evergreen-forest foothills of Mt. Hood, this expansive golf and spa resort is popular year-round both with outdoorsy sorts and couples seeking romantic alpine hideaways. Accommodations run from doubles to two-bedroom condos, and each of the sharp, contemporary rooms has a deck or patio overlooking the forest, courtyard, or fairway. Despite the resort's size, its wooded setting feels relaxing and secluded. You can play croquet on the only regulation court and lawn-bowling green in the Northwest; or choose from plenty of nearby outdoor activities such as fly-fishing on the Salmon River, horseback riding, white-water rafting, and all snow-related sports. Treatments at the serene spa include specialty massages for golfers and skiers.

Pros

  • Wide range of room layouts and sizes

Murphys Suites

The lobby's full-size, taxidermied bear poised to pounce and wolf on the prowl hint at a decorative sensibility that dissipates upon entering the boilerplate rooms at this motel-like property a few blocks southeast of downtown. The red-carpeted, 500-square-foot guest accommodations—all called suites but only some with two rooms—are furnished with microwaves, refrigerators, coffee pots, flat-screen TVs, and combination tubs and showers. Staff members deliver free mini-doughnuts each morning.

The Myrtles

$$$ | 7747 U.S. 61, St. Francisville, LA, 70775, USA

If you don't mind a deep legacy of hauntings (and doubly so if you love haunted things), you'll enjoy these character-filled guest rooms, split between the second floor of this plantation-house-turned-bed-and-breakfast and a couple of outlying buildings. The rooms are all filled with antiques and most with four-poster beds. A tour of the house, just a few miles beyond the center of St. Francisville, is included in your stay. In nice weather many guests opt to have breakfast at the outdoor tables behind the house.

Pros

  • Historic property oozes atmosphere
  • Ghost hunters' paradise
  • Tour included with room

Cons

  • Feels like it's in the middle of nowhere
  • Easily spooked travelers might want to stay elsewhere

The Mystic

Once an old motel on the original Route 66 in need of a major facelift, the Mystic is now a hip hang-out with a funky Joshua Tree vibe that is heavy on the pastel colors and folky artwork. The rooms are simple but stylish with tile floors and soothing decor, and some have small refrigerators. There is a full bar in the inviting lobby that's good for socializing, and a large event space out back that can fit 200 people, making the Mystic a popular wedding location.
