Fans of Twin Peaks will recognize the exterior of this rambling two-story tavern and inn (although interior scenes were shot elsewhere), but you needn't have watched the show to appreciate the clean, comfy, and affordable guest rooms. Located beside the Snoqualmie River in the hamlet of Fall City, the inn dates to 1916, and its guest rooms have been tastefully updated.

On 3½ acres above the Snoqualmie River, this secluded B&B a few miles east of North Bend has unbeatable mountain and wilderness views, and the guest rooms, with wainscoting and fireplaces, have private entrances and decks. The Mountain Room has a whirlpool tub; the Bear Iris Room has a feather bed and a two-person Japanese soaking tub. Herb's Place is a hunting cabin with a kitchen and loft, and the Rock & Rose Room has its own sauna—behind a giant boulder.

In the early 1700s this building on the banks of the Tred Avon River was crafted as a home by ships' carpenters using ship nails, hand-hewn beams, and pegged paneling. In 1738 it was bought by an English trading company as a house for its Oxford representative, Robert Morris. Four guest rooms have handmade wall paneling and fireplaces built of English bricks used as boat ballast. Other buildings in the complex include a newer manor house on a private beach. Breakfast is included. Several years ago the inn closed its famous restaurant (with its reputed "best crabcakes on the bay"), but in 2010 it reopened, redecorated, and rehabilitated, under celebrity chef Mark Seller, who promotes locally sourced food. The kitchen has regained its former glory.

Located in the heart of Wicker Park, this boutique luxury revival hotel has curated art deco features, a mazelike layout, and two very distinct categories of rooms: Tower Rooms, which are snug but strong on mid-century style, and industrial, family-friendly Annex Lofts. Public areas serve as a second living room for local young professionals gathering material for their next Instagram reel; don’t miss the Up Room, a 13th-floor lounge serving cocktails and an eyeful of skyline. Come summer, soak in the scene, and cool off in the tiny pool at the rooftop Cabana Club. Following a 2024 makeover that channels dolce vita vibes (think freely flowing Aperol spritzes and Mediterranean bites), the club is open to the public via day pass, but Robey guests get complimentary admission and dibs on early morning dips. 

This 1930s-era cabin compound on Hood Canal, built in a rustic fairytale style by the guy who designed the sets for Errol Flynn's Robin Hood movies, is ideal for a romantic yet reasonably priced woodland getaway, complete with an enchanting lodgelike restaurant and a pub offering live music. All cabins have old-fashioned lodge-style furnishings, kitchenettes, and, in some cases, hot tubs and fireplaces.

This historic, boutique hotel features paraphernalia and posters from movies filmed in the Durango area. Windows from Denver & Rio Grande Railroad carriages surround the back porch, and a spacious garden provides an additional place to relax, gather, or listen to live music. Homemade pastries are complimentary in the morning, with the option of a hot breakfast for $5. The hotel especially caters to business travelers and there is a coworking space next door. A sister property, Leland House, is across the street in a restored 1927 apartment building, and it offers executive suites for short-term rentals.

A tetherball on the turf, a riverside fire pit, and welcoming front porches: these are just a few of the touches that make this old homestead a uniquely pleasant place to stay. There are 14 simple but modernized cabins with fully equipped kitchens on the Gunnison River. You can fish right outside your door or drive to Blue Mesa Reservoir, 18 miles away. You can also borrow from the resort's fleet of cruiser bikes for a leisurely cycling excursion. The cabins are dog friendly, and the proprietors are knowledgeable about fishing, trails, and local history, including the property's own barn, constructed in the late 1800s.

Seven miles southeast of New Paltz, this all-inclusive dude ranch is loaded with activities for all seasons, including a children's zoo and the Big Splash Waterpark with the 250-foot long Gold Rush Flume Ride.

All instruction and equipment is included with your stay. Accommodations include rooms in the main lodge, where the lobby is hung with wagon wheels, and motel-style buildings.

Although newly built, this stately hotel has a luxurious mix of modern and traditional elements that blend seamlessly with the historic nature of this harbor town. Large, spacious rooms have balconies overlooking the water and luxurious spa bathroom with walk-in showers, soaking tubs, and heated floors. The lobby’s comfortable furnishings are great for relaxing around the fireplace, and the two restaurants and bars on-site offer plenty of options for drinks or a meal. Atrium Restaurant on the hotel’s top floor has spectacular views of the water from its deck.

With Evitts Mountain as a backdrop, this lovely resort is in one of the state's most idyllic spots. The lobby, dining room, and lounge overlook a 243-acre man-made lake, Lake Habeeb. In keeping with the natural environs outside, natural shades like green and brown are used throughout the six-story hotel. Rooms, larger than usual, are appointed with Shaker-style furniture and flat-screen TVs, and most have views of a breathtaking ridge of mountains. If traveling with your pet, request a special "V.I.P." room, which greets your furry one with a special treat basket. Suites include a gas fireplace and sitting area. Try a spa treatment, 18 holes on the Jack Nicklaus signature golf course, a hike along the park's trails, or boating, fishing, and swimming.

A colorful choice in a rather plain neighborhood, the Roger has a following among repeat visitors who appreciate its local vibe. The lobby, with its blue tufted couches and black-and-white photographs, is a great place to relax (natural light pours in from oversized picture windows), and rooms are similarly cheerful. The hotel's lounge serves American fare at reasonable prices, and the breakfast buffet includes local faves like H&H bagels and Petrossian smoked salmon.

New to the neighborhood in 2023, the Romer brand introduces a fresh, modern take on affordable lodging in the Theater District—rooms are surprisingly spacious and nicely decorated with artistic touches and retro-modern light fixtures and furnishings. The first-floor Neighborhood Cafe serves quality java and baked goods, while So & So's is a cozy piano bar with happy hour and pretheater dining. The hotel's Corner Store partners with local designer/retailers for uncommonly cool NYC souvenirs, and there's a convenient parking garage attached to the building (with its own pricing). With the hotel's Urban Fee, guests get complimentary bike rentals, access to the off-site Crunch gym, free hard-copy printing, and high-speed Wi-Fi; pets are welcome with a $150 fee.

A favorite of European visitors and business travelers who work in fashion and entertainment, Grace delivers high-design lodgings on a budget. The style here, as at other hotels in the chain, is modern and playful—Jonathan Adler reflective wallpaper, bright geometric patterns, and a check-in desk that doubles as a newsstand. Guests and locals gravitate to the glowing lobby bar and swimming-pool lounge (a real glassed-in pool, with sauna and steam room) for cocktails and eye candy. Rooms are smallish but smartly designed (comfortable beds are elevated on platforms, so luggage can be stored underneath) and well insulated from street noise. Room capacity varies from two to four people (in a quad bunk-bed layout—each bed with its own TV and headset), convenient for traveling with teenagers or kids.

An enthusiastic family's work-in-progress restoration of a roadside motor lodge, this property on the edge of Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park charms travelers with sanded and varnished original oak flooring and rough-hewn decorative touches. Guest rooms contain microwaves, refrigerators, coffeemakers, smart TVs, and comfortable beds and pillows. Two-room suites sleep up to six people, convenient for families and larger groups.

Across from the Prairie Hills Mall, this three-story hotel lets you relax on couches before the fireplace in the huge lobby, and the mezzanine overlooks the pool. Guest rooms are decorated in golds and browns, and Western art adorns the walls. A complimentary airport shuttle is available. It's only a half-hour drive to Theodore Roosevelt National Park.

Named after Teddy, not Franklin, this Midtown icon just steps from Grand Central has an ornate lobby with cushy couches and an old-school bar detailed in heavy wood that makes the place feel like it's from another time, and it is—the property dates from 1924. Happily, the amenities don't hark back to that era, though rooms are a little tired. Carpeting shows some wear, and the art on the walls is chain-generic, but the beds do have pillow-top mattresses. Bathrooms are nice and big. The rooftop lounge, mad46, offers nightly happy hour after 9:30.

This late-Victorian-style inn has some surprisingly updated and modern-looking rooms behind its historic-looking facade, and extra amenities (including a guest laundry) that set it apart. Some rooms have balconies, and mountain-view rooms are especially inviting in autumn. Other extras include a recreation room with a pool table.

The friendly and talkative owners of this historic brick building—the former Roosevelt School—have brought Southern hospitality to northern Idaho. With three stories plus a bell tower (now housing a luxurious suite with great views), the inn features a hot tub, sauna, and lovely lawned gardens. Rooms have plush beds, some with canopies, and chocolate-on-the-pillow types of extra touches. Superb breakfasts, served until 10, feature recipes specially crafted for the inn by celebrity chef Gordon Ramsey, a former guest here.

The family-owned motel, painted presidential white, is in the heart of Hyde Park, within walking distance of antiques shops, restaurants, and museums. Rooms have a queen or king bed, one or two doubles, or a pair of twin beds. The smaller rooms have knotty-pine paneling, whereas the others are more contemporary in style.

Nestling thoughtful hypermodern amenities in the bones of the venerable Packard Building, ROOST is an extended-stay establishment designed with the modern traveler in mind. Catering to long-term business travelers, athletes, and creative-class types, the \"apartment hotel\" features a collection of studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom accommodations, each painstakingly filled out with touches both functional (kitchens fully equipped, down to high-end coffee-brewing gadgets) and artful (thoughtful bookshelf picks, like back issues of Monocle). Guests, many of whom stay for weeks at a time, have access to perks like gratis bike rentals, dog-walking services, and a 24-hour concierge. There are two other ROOST locations in the city.

The furnished accommodations at this “apartment hotel,” part of the locally based Roost brand, are well equipped for weekly and even monthly stays, offering full-size kitchens (groceries can be delivered), in-room washer and dryer, and light-filled living and work spaces enlivened with houseplants. These residential comforts are paired with more traditional hotel amenities, like front desk service, a 24-hour gym, heated lap pool, screening room, weekly cleaning services, and more.

With simple accommodations in a late-19th-century farmhouse and more luxurious units in a more modern structure across a country lane, this property is set on a 20-acre pastoral farmstead. Constants here are friendly, efficient service and one of the most relaxing settings on the island. Rooms and porches overlook rolling fields, woodland, and the ocean, and there's a bike rental shop on property.

Chic, understated European style combines with Gulf-front views at this intimate inn in the heart of Rosemary Beach. Rooms are a bit snug, but the restaurants, shops, and activities within walking distance make up for it. Breakfast is served in the owners' The Summer Kitchen Cafe (continental included or a discount for a full cooked breakfast). Although kids are allowed, the inn isn't particularly family friendly.

A cupola crowns this handsome three-story brick Italianate villa built in 1866. The B&B has two large porches, a parlor with a marble fireplace, and bathrooms with claw-foot tubs. One guest room is on the first floor; the others are on the second floor. Most rooms have a queen bed, and all have rose-print bed coverings and down comforters. The Wine and Roses room, where walls are the color of claret, has a queen and a double bed.

Connected by a covered sky bridge to the Orange County Convention Center, this 24-story resort with a half-dozen on-site restaurants attracts business customers but doesn't ignore families. The large pool, full-service spa, and easy access to Universal, SeaWorld, Aquatica, and all the I-Drive entertainment complexes give families plenty to do.

Close to the convention center, this 14-story hotel caters to its corporate clientele, but leisure travelers also like the prime location and long list of amenities, including a heated swimming pool, fitness center, babysitting services, and a vibrant nightclub that opens onto the pool.

The 1855 home is three blocks from downtown and less than 1 mi from the Corning Museum of Glass. Guest rooms, decked out in Victorian style, have antiques, plush towels, and 300-thread-count sheets. Some have canopy beds. Only the suites, both on the first floor, have kitchenettes. Porch-sitting in summer is replaced by 4 pm tea and cookies by the parlor fireplace in winter.

Opulent rooms are appointed with fine linens, antiques, and original artwork, lending a unique residential feel to the hotel. Guests have complimentary use of the property's Lexus vehicles, and a house car can also ferry you to nearby destinations. Celebrities feel comfortable here, tucked away from the larger hotel districts. The service is legendary, as is the hotel restaurant. The bar is a popular gathering place for locals, guests, and celebrities.

It's not easy to snag a booking at this remote, unique place, the only lodging in the Ross Lake area, but it's worth the effort for a chance to immerse yourself in nature in a lakefront cabin. The smallest cabins sleep up to four; the three bunkhouses sleep from six to 10; and a two-story cabin sleeps up to nine. All have full kitchens, but you'll need to bring your own food since there's no store or restaurant. It's inaccessible by road but still fairly easy to reach via a short downhill hike from Highway 20 and then a five-minute water taxi ride.
