This hotel offers a bit of style in a central location—amid the Downtown action but within a reasonable distance of the beaches—for a great price. The staff is friendly, the rooms and lobby have a hip, retro-modern feel to them, and the patio has a cool, throwback fountain to congregate around before heading Downtown to dine or shop.

On the Back Creek side of narrow Solomons Island this three-story, yellow frame house was built in 1906 by the foremost shipbuilder on the Chesapeake Bay.

Afternoon refreshments and breakfast are served on an enclosed porch.

While the 1867 brownstone exterior is all about history, the sleek, modern decor inside this gorgeously restored hotel breaths the fresh energetic air and excitement that Central Square is known for.

The Spacious King room boasts a half-circle banquette and table, and the Stellar King has a balcony. If walking around the area doesn't afford enough of a workout, check out the hotel's discounted rates at VIM Fitness, just two blocks away.  The hotel is keyless and most actions can be done using the Sonder app.

Amid TriBeCa's historic warehouses and trendy art galleries sits this boutique hotel, a fashionable addition to the neighborhood. Light pours in the loftlike windows of the comfortable rooms, which have hardwood floors, compact desks, and bright, modern furnishings. Sophisticated bathrooms have slate floors and rain showers. The Sonder hotel brand prizes technology, so expect options for contactless check-in, fast Wi-Fi, and streaming entertainment from your personal devices (in lieu of cable). Rates vary greatly depending on the season; and Sonder usually adds surcharges upon booking that hike the final charge.

Built in 1927 as a dorm for silent-film actors, the Crescent is now a fanciful boutique hotel with a great location—within the Beverly Hills shopping triangle—and with an even better price (for the area). Low couches and tables, an indoor/outdoor fireplace, and shimmering candlelight at night give the hotel's public areas a welcoming and sophisticated look. Hallways are lined with Terry O’Neil and Douglas Kirkland portraits of famous stars (all for sale, by the way), while guest rooms feature custom headboards painted with large whimsical pictures of animals like hummingbirds and butterflies, as well as hanging blown-glass lights, sound machines, and splashy color schemes.

Sonesta Fort Lauderdale merges trendiness with affordability in its 13-story U-shaped tower overlooking the ocean.

The refreshing decor in white and neutral has a bright pop of color, evoking a fun, youthful vibe throughout the property.

Set in a luxuriant garden that always seems to be in full bloom, the Sonesta Resort is the centerpiece of the Shipyard private community, which means guests have access to its amenities, such as golf and tennis. Inside, Sonesta has an elegant lobby with towering windows that let in lots of natural light. Outside, guests can swim in the zero-entry pool, stroll across a latticed bridge that crosses lagoons, or relax at the beach pavilion that has seen many an island wedding. The family-friendly resort also has a supervised kids' club.

Set back from the roar of I–35, this handsome five-floor hotel (formerly a Hyatt Hotel) is a step up from your usual off-ramp inn. The lobby has a convenient 24/7 café menu and grab-and-go market, serving Starbucks drinks, sandwiches, and beer and wine most of the day. Hot breakfasts are complimentary, with updated items like garden vegetable and egg-white skillet sandwiches. Spacious rooms have contemporary accents like screens separating the lounge area from the bedroom; all have pull-out sofas. The 42-inch flat-screen TVs have ports for laptops and swivel to allow for viewing in different rooms. Decent restaurants are nearby, but most of the city’s best spots are a drive away.

Intended to satisfy the needs of business travelers, there aren't many frills at this four-story hotel, though a lap pool and Jacuzzi await in the landscaped courtyard.

It's the sense of family tradition and European elegance that makes the Sonnenalp Resort the most romantic of all the hotels in the faux-Tyrolean village of Vail. Four generations of the Faessler family have worked in the hotel business, and the Sonnenalp showcases their expertise not only in the Bavarian architecture and style (stucco walls hatched with wood beams and balconies with flower boxes) but also in the impeccable manners of everyone from front-desk receptionists to the waiters at three on-site restaurants. Room configurations vary from two-story suites to cozy rooms barely bigger than the overstuffed beds. The first-floor spa is set around an alcove fireplace, but the indoor heated pool flows outdoors and fronts a beautiful garden beside Gore Creek.

The former owner of this small hotel also owned the Triple Crown–winning racehorse Secretariat, and the inn, built to resemble a huge barn, celebrates the horse's career with photos, racing programs, and press clippings. Hardwood floors, colorful woven rugs, and retro-cowboy bedspreads distinguish the spacious rooms, some of which have window seats with views of the Santa Rita Mountains.

Its quiet location and very helpful staff make this spacious hotel near the airport one of Fairbanks's best. It has comfy furniture, rich upholstery, and Alaskan artwork throughout.

Or just head to Zach's, the hotel restaurant which serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner; menu items incorporate ingredients grown in the hotel's flower-filled on-site gardens.

For a truly bohemian and memorable Pacific Northwest experience, book one these eclectic accommodations—rustic cottages, a fleet of well-kept vintage travel trailers, and four second-floor suites carved out of a ballroom inside the 1892 summer retreat of businessman and U.S. senator Henry Winslow Corbett.

The grounds also contain a garden hot tub and Finnish sauna and a pay-on-your-honor food and sundries shop on the enclosed porch of the red-painted main lodge.

Here it's all about location—each room in this complex of motel-style buildings has a deck right on the 1,400-foot-long private beach. Interiors, although simple and in need of some updating, are clean and bright. The staff is friendly and accommodating. An outdoor pool, sport courts, and a small fitness room are all on-site.

The pretty spaces at this glass-and-steel RiNo hotel are decorated with Japanese and Scandinavian accents with an industrial-chic flair. Polished concrete floors, birchwood wall panels, and groovy Muuto furniture combine for a streamlined, austere aesthetic. Some rooms have freestanding Japanese tubs or garage-style windows that roll up, while rooftop cold plunge and hot plunge pools provide hot and cold soaking. The upper-floor fitness center has its own terrace for post-workout views. The foundation of the Source comprises two market halls with a plethora of food and arty shopping choices, including the Middle Eastern small-plates restaurant Safta and casual rooftop eatery the Woods, the latter of which serves the same New Belgium beer that is brewed and barrel-aged on-site (a glass is offered as an amenity for arriving guests).

At Temecula's largest winery, this resort offers your choice of a private villa or hotel room in the tower building, all surrounded by 38 acres of vineyards. Most guests opt for a villa, each designed for privacy with no common walls or entrances, with sweeping views of mountains and sky from a private patio. Back doors open onto trails that wind through vineyards and orchards, ideal for guests who travel with happy hounds; each dog is welcomed with a "sWag Bag" and owners are treated to wine-tasting tickets. There are hand-painted frescoes, in-room fireplaces, oversize marble bathrooms, and small dining areas. In the tower building, an additional 50 rooms are slightly less private but more affordable than the villas. The resort also has a spa with 22 treatment rooms and a saltwater pool. The resort offers a number of packages that make it a value choice when staying in the Temecula wine country.

This boutique hotel boasts posh accommodations, a rooftop pool, three on-site restaurants, a coffee shop, a lobby bar, and street-level retail shops that add to the charms of its South Congress address. It's a beloved gathering space for locals just as much as for out-of-towners, with a wide range of special events, weddings, pop-up markets, and other themed parties hosted in their various communal spaces on most weekends.

Perk or quirk: the South Point is the only resort in the Las Vegas area with an equestrian center, a venue that hosts rodeos and other horse-oriented shows frequently almost year-round, as well as offering spacious rooms and a great spa. That makes it a big draw for horse-lovers, but it's not all the South Point has to offer. The spa offers 27 treatment rooms and a co-ed wet area, and the hotel has a 64-lane bowling alley, 16-screen movie theater, and one of the biggest bingo halls in town. Large hotel rooms and suites reach up to 2,500 square feet. The palm-lined pool area is inviting, too, provided you don't mind low-flying airplanes taking off from nearby Harry Reid International Airport. The sports book packs in big crowds on game days, with more than 300 seats. Visitors would be wise to capitalize on locals-oriented jackpots and promotions.

Originally built for banker Louis A. Graves, this beautiful Victorian is a cozy and intimate B&B that looks like a regular house from the outside.

The bedrooms are filled with classic, old-school charm with vintage pieces and colorful wallpaper giving each room unique character.

With a shuttle to the beach, lots of on-site activities, and a quick walk to Southampton's shops and restaurants, this modern inn ticks a lot of boxes.

Outside, Adirondack chairs are scattered throughout the expansive, formally landscaped grounds that include a patio courtyard, a large outdoor pool, and tennis courts. For a fee, seasonal residents and locals can get a membership to use the recreational faciltities here.

Not all motels have to be about 1950s kitsch, and rooms in this one have chunky, country-style furniture and accessories that work well with highly polished wood floors, floral drapes, crisp white window sheers, and lacy white bed linens. Formerly known as the Enclave Inn, this one-story motel and its tree-filled grounds are just minutes from the Hampton Jitney bus stop and a few miles from area beaches.

Ivy covers the outside of this downtown hotel quietly providing patrons with comfort, hospitality, and a touch of style at relatively reasonable prices. Though not flashy, the well-maintained guest rooms and suites, all on the second floor and from 419 to 592 square feet, have king beds, updated bathrooms, balconies, white walls, and framed prints and black-and-white photographs of vineyard and similar scenes. Hosts deliver a continental breakfast each morning. Guests receive access to the adjacent Health Spa Napa Valley and its pool, and there’s a garden courtyard for relaxing. Tra Vigne Pizzeria and Restaurant occupies part of the ground floor; a dozen other dining spots and a few tasting rooms lie within walking distance. 

The stunning Italianate mansion, one of the few large estates to survive Cape May's Great Fire of 1879, now serves as a boutique hotel. Its brightly painted rooms—robin's-egg blue, mustard yellow, deep red—are filled with Victorian antiques, such as ornate fireplace mantels and four-poster beds, as well as modern amenities like phones with data ports. Stroll along the garden path and admire the flowers, especially abundant in May, or visit in December to see the parlors decked out with Christmas trees and garlands appropriate to the Victorian era.

Within walking distance of the Country Club Plaza and the Nelson-Atkins Museum, this urban inn has rooms named for and decorated in honor of some of the big names of local history, such as William Rockhill Nelson and Satchel Paige, and also has a separate carriage house suite.

Operated by the same company as the ultra-high-end Santa Maria Suites, this motel-style property is a good-value option in pricey Key West. Though some rooms have been updated with dark-wood furnishings, others still have older, white-wicker pieces. All, however, have 32-inch flat-screen TVs, and those with kitchenettes are spacious, with high ceilings and dining-sitting areas. Key West's famous South Beach and the Southernmost Point are just a few minutes' walk, and you'll find three pools on-site to keep you cool. If you're a light sleeper, the roosters may be a bother, but that's just part of Key West's charms. A modest resort fee gets you a simple breakfast and a voucher for a beach chair and umbrella at nearby South Beach.
