Give the Healdsburg hubbub and prices the heave-ho but still have easy access to outstanding Dry Creek and Alexander Valley wineries from this two-story motel-like inn. The best rooms are in the back on the second floor and have decks with vineyard views. All the rooms are done in subtle grays; many have fireplaces, and some have balconies. Should you suddenly crave a little Healdsburg action, the town's plaza is less than 10 miles away.

By the river in the heart of town, this luxe rustic-chic boutique hotel notches up New Hope's lodging scene with modern rooms and a restaurant and bar (Stella) overlooking the water. Earthen-tone neutrals and textured finishes—a wood-lined wall, patterned carpet, metal and leather furnishings—and large bathrooms with double sinks and pebble tile in the showers make the inn an escape from New Hope's bustle but still relate to the river location. A refrigerator, coffeemaker, robes and slippers, and Italian linens are some amenities; a few rooms have Juliet balconies. Each room has a ghost light, referring to the theatrical tradition of leaving a pole with a single lightbulb on when a theater is not occupied, for safety and also so that any ghosts can perform. A sister property a block away, the Carriage House, has two rooms and a suite; you check in at the Ghost Light if you stay there.

Just half a block from the water, the three detached houses that form this hotel come from three centuries—the years 1780, 1890, and 1980, to be exact—and all the guest rooms are furnished with pre-1900 antiques. Continental breakfast with a waffle bar is served in the formal dining room of the 17th-century Patterson House.

This lovely Georgian revival–style brick hotel sits amid the 2,200 acres of Saratoga Spa State Park. Tall windows look out onto front and rear gardens, and the interior is decorated in a gracious, traditional style. The Sunday brunch buffet of hot and cold entrées is a favorite among locals and visitors alike.

Elegant, cozy, and charming, this boutique accommodation from Thompson Hotels (a Hyatt affiliate) offers good value and chic design, including beds with custom leather headboards and Sferra linens. The rooms are small, but come with custom-made wooden desks and tables. The Gold Street location, though slightly hard to find, is a short walk from downtown's central banks and businesses as well as a few blocks from The Seaport and City Hall.

Crammed between the large buildings along Front Street, the Gilmore—which is part of Wyndham's Trademark Collection—is a rustic historic property best suited for travelers who value character over modern amenities. Thanks to its small dimensions, the late-1920s-era lobby has a European feel, and the front desk is staffed by friendly locals. All rooms are on the second or third floors, with no elevator. Downstairs, Annabelle's Famous Keg and Chowder House serves seafood, pasta, and prime rib. Upgrade to one of the marina-view rooms; otherwise, you will be facing the wall of the building next door.

Built of massive timbers and blending well with the surrounding rain forest, the only accommodation in the national park has rustic rooms (accessible by a boardwalk); a large porch overlooking Glacier Bay; and a roster of activities that includes whale-watching excursions, kayaking trips, guided hikes, and boat tours of the bay. If it swims or crawls in the sea hereabouts, you'll find it on the menu in the dining room, which is open to nonguests as well. The lodge pushes packages, which include all meals, transfers, and a boat tour on your first day.

Tucked away in a forested canyon, this rustic, eco-friendly lodge is within walking distance of downtown restaurants and other amenities in West Glacier. Rooms are basic, but large, and all have mini-fridges, free Wi-Fi, and flat-screen TVs with satellite cable. There's a 24-hour guest lounge with a computer and printer as well as snacks, coffee, and tea. The locally sourced continental breakfast is exceptionally good and includes fresh fruit, baked goods, granola, cereals, and hard-boiled eggs or quiche. Maximum occupancy is two people per room, even in rooms with two queen beds. Two nearby guesthouses can accommodate up to eight people.

Just east of the park, across from the Amtrak station, this beautiful full-service hotel built in 1913 is supported by 500- to 800-year-old Douglas firs and 3-foot-thick cedar logs; little wonder that its nickname is "Big Tree Lodge." Entertainers delight guests with storytelling and singing in the spectacular great hall, where a crackling fire blazes in a massive stone fireplace. Rooms are sparsely decorated, but historic framed posters hang on the hallway walls. The hotel has an excellent restaurant, a bar, a convenience store, and a gift shop. There is also a house for rent on the grounds. It's next to the golf course, the oldest grass-greens course in Montana. If you golf on it, watch out for moose. 

Conveniently located in Downtown Norfolk, this boutique hotel run by Marriott occupies a reimagined historic building dating from 1912 and showcases exceptional works of glass art (Norfolk once was famous for its glass production).

Within Letchworth State Park, this country inn overlooks the park's tallest waterfall. Park founder William Pryor Letchworth had used the mansion as a retreat; it became an inn in 1914. Interiors are Victorian in style. Smaller standard rooms have one double or two twin beds, but the suites, with queen beds, are spacious. The Cherry Suite has a whirlpool tub, a private porch, and chevron-patterned hardwood floors. Also available are contemporary lodge rooms and three houses.

At this rustic-modern complex of adobe-and-redwood buildings, you can choose between motel-style rooms, cabins, and cottages in the woods. Rooms have a contemporary, earth-tone look and a "green" sensibility, with organic linens and wool carpets, and walk-in showers with natural river-rock radiant-heated tiles. All have gas fireplaces, and some have private outdoor patios.

A former fur trapper's trading post–turned–Dutch mansion provides a swish backdrop for a room and a meal on the Mohawk River. Standard rooms have two queen beds; junior suites have a king-size sleigh bed, a desk, and a seating area. The decor throughout is a harmonious blend of patterned fabrics and wallpapers in elegant palettes. Candlelit tables set with fine china and table linens fill the pre-colonial dining room, which has two decorative fireplaces and hand-hewn beams. A cavelike, stone-walled pub downstairs offers lighter fare.

This boutique hotel is a mix of New York sophistication and Miami sex appeal. The rooms are small, but they make the best of the space. Glass walls between the oversize showers and the sleeping areas mean you won't miss a minute of the program on your flat-screen TV. The contemporary decor is sleek and sophisticated.

Unlimited and convenient access to the Glenwood Hot Springs Pool, just steps from this modern-but-basic lodge, is the reason to stay here. You'll find a contemporary lobby and unfussy guest rooms decorated in earth tones. Deluxe rooms have small fridges, microwaves, and tiny balconies or terraces in addition to standard conveniences such as flat-screen TVs and free Wi-Fi. 

For those who are skeptical of the rustic facilities and folksy banter common at many B&Bs—but who still want distinctive lodging and a personal feel—Glidden house offers a compromise. On the Case Western campus, the French Gothic mansion, built in 1910, has a traditional hotel staff and dining in its carriage house restaurant, Sergio's, which focuses on seafood and Brazilian fare. Rooms feature plasma-screen TVs and private baths. The modern room decor in particular is a welcome change from the often fussy look of some historic B&Bs. Suites are decorated more traditionally, and some have wet bars.

The main building on this property is an Edwardian-style mansion built in 1908 for sugar baron John D. Spreckels, who once owned much of Downtown San Diego. Rooms in the mansion and in the newer motel-style buildings are quaintly furnished; some have patios or balconies. The inn is adjacent to the Coronado harbor and near many restaurants and shops, but it's much smaller and quieter than the Hotel Del, across the street. Complimentary breakfast is served each morning; coffee, tea, and fruit are available throughout the day; and seasonal afternoon refreshments make for a nice pick-me-up (hot chocolate during the winter and lemonade on hotter days).

Perched atop a hill in a quiet residential neighborhood, the Glover Park Georgetown offers beautifully decorated rooms away from the city bustle. One floor of the hotel has suites with kitchenettes, handy for families or anyone on a longer stay, and the courtyard is great for outdoor relaxation. A free shuttle makes runs to the Woodley Park–Zoo/Adams Morgan Metro station, as well as American and Georgetown universities and Georgetown University Hospital.

The Glunz family got it right when they purchased this former time-share property and put a whole lot of love into ensuring it achieved its full oceanfront potential—from the bottom-floor rooms, you can walk out your back door and your feet are in the sand, or you can also chill at the oceanfront tiki bar or one of two heated pools. Standard rooms have a small fridge and coffeemaker; kitchens (in suites only) are well equipped, too. To stay like royalty, opt for the three-level oceanfront villas, each with 2,300 square feet and a garage. Hungry? Walk next door to Havana Jack's for fish tacos, or have the staff drive you via golf cart to the local bars so you won't drink and drive.

In the heart of Downtown, this boutique hotel is popular with business folk, who appreciate the ease of walking to the nearby Financial District. Expect frills but not things frilly in the modern guest rooms, which give off slightly masculine vibes and come equipped with fast Wi-Fi, smart streaming, and Frette bed linens. Need a kick in the morning or an afternoon boost? The Godfrey is flanked by George Howell Coffee, which we highly recommend.

Tech-minded travelers who like to mix business with pleasure will feel right at home at this hotel, which has what worker bees need (generously sized in-room desks with multiple outlets) and what party animals want (a sizzling rooftop bar, I|O Godfrey). Rooms have glittering city views and start at 350 square feet. An on-site spa with two treatment rooms offers 30-minute massages that are perfect for the corporate crowd.

Just off Highway 49 and superbly run, this Ascend Collection property provides a comfortable experience, with art and artifacts reflecting the area's mining heritage gracing public areas and guest rooms.

Accommodations in the Grass Valley Suites category, good for families or other small groups, contain these amenities plus sleeper sofas and wet bars. A generous full buffet breakfast is served in the lobby.

Waterville Valley's premier condominium resort, its steep roof punctuated by dozens of gabled dormers, recalls the grand hotels of an earlier era. Rooms are outfitted with upscale light-wood furniture and have full kitchens; many units have views of the surrounding peaks.

This cozy, two-story motel is convenient to Wisconsin State Fair Park, restaurants, and shopping.

Formerly the Trump Marina, the completely renovated, refurbished, and rebranded casino has the state's largest marina at its disposal and a brand-new salon and spa. The changes become obvious as soon as you pull up. The entrance now shimmers with gold. Standard rooms are tastefully appointed with maroon, black, beige, and brown furnishings. Gold Tower suites up the ante with Sobel Westex linens, dining areas, and panoramic windows. Spa Tower suites go all in with marble baths, murals, columns, and cocktail bars.

This eclectic inn stands out for its fun design, brightly colored walls, desert-inspired art, and varnished adobe construction. The furnishings and decoration are all decidedly contemporary, combining wood, stone, metal, and tile, and some rooms have fireplaces. The pool, hot tub, and courtyard overlook a shady pathway that winds for several miles along Mill Creek. Though you wouldn't know it, all the rooms are time-shares (units available for purchase).

Blink and you'll miss this Miracle Hill adults-only gem, the sole Black-owned hotel in the Greater Palm Springs area, which—with a tiny spa, a sizable yard, a springs-fed pool and hot tubs, a chaise-lined terrace, and a firepit—feels like a cross between an updated Joshua Tree hotel, a wellness camp, and your childhood friend's parent's ranch house. Despite being peaceful, there's no escaping other guests or day-pass holders in the common areas so make sure to book one of the five suites with a back patio to give your best-behaved public persona a reprieve. Good House gets bonus points for participating in the Kind Traveler program and emphasizing sustainable tourism measures.  

The newest addition to Eugene's expanding 5th Street Public Market, The Gordon offers a boutique-meets-business experience, with lots of local touches. The contemporary rooms are large and bright and all feature work desks with good lighting and plenty of nods to the hotel's surroundings, from wall art inspired by the surrounding neighborhood to coffee and tea sourced from Oregon producers. Some rooms are pet-friendly and a few categories also have balconies. While there's no room service, you can grab a bite from the lobby Tavern or head up to Carlita's on the rooftop for cocktails and city views. 

A sleek, modern boutique hotel, the Gotham has a lot going for it, from good-size rooms to nice amenities, but a clincher is that every room has outdoor space. There are no more than four rooms per floor, allowing families and larger parties to take over entire floors if desired. Upper floors have only two rooms per floor, both with terrific east- and westward views. Rooms are large—around 300 square feet—and include king-size beds, and gorgeous tiled bathrooms with rain showerheads and Molton Brown bath amenities. The location's past was a family-owned bookstore, so you'll come across some vintage books and its aptly named steak-house restaurant, The Reading Room. Parking is with an affiliated garage across the street. 

With spectacular views of Monument Valley from each room's private balcony, this historic lodge often serves as a base for film crews in the area—and has for years, as cinema greats John Wayne and John Ford used to stay here. It has handsome stucco buildings and simple rooms decorated with Native American art. The best lodging deals here are the houses and suites, which offer full kitchens and much more space than the hotel rooms for not much more money. For a true sense of Goulding's beginnings and history, spend some time at the on-site museum. Also on the grounds, the Stagecoach restaurant serves the area favorite, a Navajo taco, along with many traditional American entrées. Goulding's offers custom-guided tours of Monument Valley and provides Navajo guides into the backcountry, where you're not allowed to venture on your own. The lodge is 2 miles off U.S. 163, at the Monument Valley Tribal Park turnoff, about 25 miles southwest of Mexican Hat.
