Near the end of Bearskin Neck, this small brick-and-shingle motel offers guests the best of both worlds: beautiful, oceanfront rooms, as well as easy access to shopping and restaurants. The rooms are simply appointed and furnished with comfortable wooden furniture and white chenille bedspreads. At night, you can go to sleep listening to the waves, and, during the day, you can walk just five minutes to Front Beach, or sun yourself on the motel's large deck. Complimentary services include Wi-Fi, air-conditioning, coffee and tea in the main office, and parking. In high season, there may be minimum-stay requirements.

The historic four-story Exchange Bank Building is the perfect location for one of Providence's newest luxury boutique hotels, which has a cozy charm paired with stylish rooms and views of downtown streets. A prominent Providence landmark when it was built in the 1840s, the building is dwarfed by downtown's skyscrapers but retains the Queen Anne style dating from an 1887 renovation. Named for the developer's mother, the Beatrice features Ignazio Cipriani's first Bellini restaurant in New England, which occupies an elegant ground floor space, as well as a private rooftop club, with views of central Kennedy Plaza.

When it comes to casual elegance, Beau Rivage has all the bells and whistles that distinguish MGM resorts—including a casino. The expansive atrium welcomes guests with live trees and aromatic floral arrangements that mirror Mississippi landscapes. Rooms are spacious and well-appointed. The full-service hotel also comprises 10 restaurants, tropical pools, four nightclubs and bars, a 1,550-seat theater for live entertainment, a spa and salon, a retail promenade with a dozen stores, 50,000 square feet of convention space, and an off-site Tom Fazio–designed golf course.

A large atrium that doubles as an art gallery on the first floor grabs all the attention at this modern hotel a few hundred yards from the lifts. Rooms are moderately decorated and generously proportioned and nicely split between a bedroom and living room with kitchenette—you'll get more space for your money here than at most other properties in the heart of the village, which makes it great for families. Creekside views are pricier but tranquil, especially if you have a balcony.

A handy Castro location, reasonable prices, and the holy grail of San Francisco lodging—free parking—make this courtyard-style motel with cool mid-century vibes a favorite. The spacious guestrooms have fun splashes of color, generous bathrooms, minifridges, and coffeemakers, and there's a rooftop terrace for lounging in the sun. For those without cars, the historic F-line trolley passes the motel, and there are plenty of dining and shopping options right outside.

The gracious hosts at this B&B win accolades from past guests. In a stately Federal-style home with original olive-green clapboards, rooms are tastefully decorated with a mixture of antique and reproduction furniture and accents, with some gas fireplaces and four-poster, canopy, or ironwork beds. Guests share a hot tub enclosed in a gazebo for all-weather use.

This recently refreshed motel on U.S. 1 is a quick drive away from downtown Belfast. It offers large, comfortable rooms, both indoor and outdoor pools, and a generous included continental breakfast. A path leads down from the property to the water's edge.

This sophisticated complex comprises a 1901 former church (the Abbey), an ornate wood-frame 1882 Victorian (the Painted Lady), and an 1827 Federal-style house (the Village House), and the theme in each is a nod to the buildings' respective histories—the Painted Lady's charmingly appointed guest rooms, for example, are named after former inhabitants. The luxurious rooms in the Abbey, named for the six days of the Creation, have whirlpool tubs and gas fireplaces; if it's available, splurge on the Tuesday room: the incredible stained-glass "compass" window will take your breath away.

The 1889 castle, complete with tower, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places; you can stay in the original stone structure, but better rooms are found in the charming Georgian Revival mansion or in the modern Vinifera Inn, which has less personality but king-size beds, gas fireplaces, and two-person showers. The formal restaurant and lounge have lake views. Belhurst has its own winery, and a wine-tasting room and gift shop are on-site.

Next to the ferry dock for Isle Royale National Park, this motel also has its own dock on the harbor and, not surprisingly, some rooms have harbor and Lake Superior views—Bella Vista is Spanish for "beautiful sight." Accommodations are split between the two-story Isle Royale House, a ranch-style motel (which has the best lake views), and eight cottages with full kitchens. These are set in nicely landscaped grounds with trees and neat lawns. Complimentary coffee is served in the lobby each morning starting at 6:30. All rooms offer cable television and free Wi-Fi.

One of the closest boutique hotels to the Catalina Casino and the beach, this sea theme hotel also offers a communal rooftop lounge area where guests can enjoy a cup of coffee and take in the 180-degree views of Avalon. Guests often gather here with a bottle of wine and cheese and crackers to toast the sunset. Oceanfront suites and some guest rooms have balconies overlooking the bay. Rooms are decorated in soothing marine blue and green accents and have cloud-like mattresses to ensure a good night's sleep. Ask for beach towels and chairs to take to the beach across the street. Beach cruiser bicycles are available to guests. The on-site bar and restaurant, Naughty Fox, offers seasonal breakfast served at 9 am, and an all day menu is offered from 11 am to 7 pm on weekdays and 9 pm on weekends. Coastal dishes include ahi poke tacos, a lobster BLT sandwich, and flavorful Catalina salad.

This hotel is just far enough "off Fifth" to be away from the dining-and-shopping foot traffic but close enough for convenience, and it feels like a lovely Italian villa with its red-tile roofs and burnt-ocher stucco. The studios and suites, with earthy hues and marble flooring, huddle three stories high around a beautifully tiled pool, fountain, and courtyard. Cabanas line the pool on two sides, and The Claw Bar restaurant flows out onto a pretty trellis-covered patio on another. The studios have in-room whirlpool tubs with shutters opening onto the master bedroom, so you can watch TV from your bubble bath.

This rambling Italianate town house from the late 19th century is a standout for its ornate exterior, relaxing front porch, and comfortable ambience as a luxury accommodation in a B&B configuration. Once two separate houses, the oversize rooms boast high ceilings, luxury linens, handsome fireplaces, and sleek, modern furnishings, as well as claw-foot tubs or spacious double-showers. On one of the city's most beautiful streets, it's in a quiet residential area that offers a true slice of Savannah life.

Musicians, artists, and European travelers frequent the Belmont, a motel that first opened in 1946. The hotel embraces its history rather than glossing over it, with original tile in the bathrooms, smaller rooms that accommodate just one queen bed, and mid-century inspired furniture. Some rooms have screened-in porches; others face a peaceful garden landscaped with native plants. The buildings are on a cliff, and have stunning views of Downtown Dallas, especially at night. The hotel bar attracts a laid-back, artistic crowd, and the restaurant has become a neighborhood favorite.

This Spanish-style redbrick building with a colonnade, built in the 1900s, holds spacious rooms with high ceilings, pine floors, and period furniture. Because of the theater-dining-and-lodging packages, it's a popular overnight stop for opera house-goers. There are two on-site restaurants—the Veranda (upstairs, with views) and JP's, a cozy brick-and-wood bar.

On a slope of the Mayacamas range with gorgeous Sonoma Valley views, this working ranch, vineyard, winery, and lodging feels totally off the grid despite its location 2½ miles north of downtown Glen Ellen. From the decor and setting to the relaxed hospitality, nothing at the 105-acre property seems calculated or overly manicured. A stay at this spot owned by the same family for six generations provides a rare chance to experience the Wine Country lifestyle that predates the era of luxury inns and haute cuisine.

Built by a colleague of Frank Lloyd Wright in a loose interpretation of Prairie Style, this 1913 mansion is now a boutique hotel run by two former Chicagoans. With 10 rooms and a restaurant (open for dinner only) it sits on 5 gorgeous acres of landscaped grounds and gardens. Hardwood floors, armoires, and four-poster beds fill each room, the perfect romantic pairing to garden views. A complimentary breakfast (including pastries, an egg dish with meat, and homemade granola and yogurt) is served each morning. With advance notice and an extra charge, a cheese plate, fresh flowers, and bottle of Michigan wine are available upon arrival.

This 1850 Greek revival inn lodged Yankee soldiers during the Civil War and today it's home to eight rooms—all with bathroom and flooring remodels in 2022—outfitted with antiques but light on clutter. The licensed commercial kitchen produces terrific breakfasts and private dinners and serves as a comfortable setting for occasional cooking classes.  This historic 8,000-square-foot home has a curious past—at one point, two brothers sawed the house in half to install a large Queen Anne staircase, making the house 9 feet wider and creating a neat double hallway upstairs, adding to the communal space.

Thanks to the dairy farm surrounding this 1853 Colonial house—with its stenciling and wide pine floors—you'll feel as though you're miles out in the country rather than just 10 minutes from Peterborough and even closer to the cute downtown of Jaffrey. Rooms are warmly appointed with soft bedding and country quilts, and a hearty country-style full breakfast is included.

If a good night's rest is essential for your visit, the Benjamin has you covered, with its soothing, modern, neutral-hue rooms; curated 10-pillow menu (including buckwheat, back or side support, and Swedish memory-foam varieties); noise machine; earplugs and eye masks; on-demand meditation sessions; and 500-thread-count sheets. Curl up with an ebook or audiobook from a special bedtime reading program. While awake, you can take advantage of the kitchenettes in all of the rooms, the handy location near Grand Central Terminal, and high-quality service from a friendly staff. Special amenities are also geared to youngsters, including a NYC children's map. 

Portland's venerable grande dame may now be overshadowed by several other upscale properties in town in terms of chic design, but the Benson has hosted countless presidents and celebrities since it opened in 1913, and its guest rooms both capture the hotel's storied legacy while offering plenty of modern comforts, like fluffy organic bathrooms and slippers and super-plush modern beds. The hand-carved Circassian walnut paneling from Russia and the Italian white-marble staircase are among the noteworthy design touches in the gracious lobby, which is home to the swanky Palm Court lounge. The old-school restaurant, El Gaucho steak house, is a favorite of local power brokers.

Fancy moldings and 10-foot-tall windows grace the red-carpeted lobby of this brick Victorian listed on the National Register of Historic Places that has rooms of varying size and setup. Rooms have dark-wood antique-reproduction furniture; standard rooms can feel cramped, but the suites and junior suites are more spacious and have different kinds of kitchen facilities. All suites have a bidet in the bathroom and whirlpool bathtubs. The generous breakfast baskets have a good variety of offerings, and afternoon tea and wine are served beneath a crystal chandelier in the lobby.

Moorish design and Gothic architecture join with modern amenities at this historic locale steps from the campus, arts venues, and eateries. The Berkeley Women's City Club opened its doors in 1930, designed by one of the university's first woman civil engineers, Julia Morgan. Now a national landmark, her "little castle" features time-honored rooms, a social club, fine dining in lush interior courtyards, a vintage-tiled indoor swimming pool, and a performing arts theater.

Originally the residence of Rockland merchant Charles H. Berry, this 1898 shingle-style B&B sits in Rockland's National Historic District. Spacious common areas and large guest rooms are elegantly furnished with antiques and reproduction pieces, and all but one of the 12 rooms have fireplaces; most have whirlpool tubs. Four rooms are in the carriage house, which has its own common and snack areas. There are beautiful gardens and a front porch for relaxing. Don't miss enjoying a slice of freshly baked pie from the guest pantry every evening. Next door, the inn's sister property, the Talbot House offers very nice rooms at a slightly lower price point and pets are permitted for a $45/night fee.

You'll be right in the middle of the village at this 1930s budget motel close to the shore. Exterior corridors provide access to the rooms, which are simple and have wood-paneled walls.

This sprawling, well-maintained complex is your best bet for reasonably priced lodgings. Rooms are spacious and offer the standard amenities.

Less than 2 miles off Interstate 15 on the edge of downtown Brigham City, this two-story Best Western with views of the mountains is a convenient, affordable base for exploring the area, from Bear Lake to Promontory. Rooms have standard chain furnishings and amenities, and there's a small gym and indoor pool.

Butte's largest hotel is convenient to shopping, sports events, and the interstates. The rooms are clean and comfortable, if somewhat bland.
