The service is responsive and the common areas are large.

Marble Falls may not have as many independent accommodations as the bustling tourist town of Fredericksburg, but the Hampton Inn on the Lake does its best to make your experience as unique to the Hill Country as possible.

The former Carlson-Currier Silk Mill, its oldest section dating to 1892, houses this atypical Hampton Inn, some of whose guest rooms have 14-foot ceilings and exposed-brick walls.

The nicest feature of this three-story condominium resort overlooking Hanalei Bay is its upper-level pool with authentic lava-rock waterfalls, an open-air hot tub, and a kid-friendly sand beach. The buildings angle down the cliffs, making for some steep walking paths. Units are spacious, with high sloping ceilings and large private lanai. Rattan furniture and island art add a casual feeling to rooms. Some units are managed by the resort and others by private owners. All units have kitchens, including the smaller studios. This is a good choice for tennis buffs, and the on-site Happy Talk Lounge is lively in the evening with music, bar food, and dining.

The only true beachfront resort on Kauai's North Shore, Hanalei Colony is a laid-back, go-barefoot kind of resort sandwiched between towering mountains and the sea. There's an emphasis on simplicity here, but Wi-Fi is available in every unit. Some units are 10 feet from the sand, and though it's a beautiful coastline, the ocean is normally too rough for swimming. Many of the units are individually owned and generally well maintained, with Hawaiian-style furnishings, full kitchens, and lanai. Amenities, such as cocktail receptions and cultural activities, vary from season to season. There's a new two-story garden pool complex, plus an art gallery, small day spa, and restaurant on-site.  The road leading to this resort can occasionally be closed due to flooding or road repair, causing delays and possibly blocking access to the airport, so plan accordingly.

If you're looking for lodgings that won't break the bank and put you just a block from gorgeous Hanalei Bay, look no further, as this is literally the only choice among the town's pricey vacation rentals. The four attached studio cottages are bare-bones simple; the chief appeal here is price and location. Besides a private bath and queen-size bed, every room has HDTV and Wi-Fi, as well as a kitchen or kitchenette. Outside, you share a picnic table, hammocks, soda machine, and barbecue with other guests.

The updated country decor of this historic district inn suggests a boutique hotel, but touches like the warm scones delivered to guest rooms each morning recall a traditional bed-and-breakfast. The crisp white walls in the main redbrick lodge's lobby give way on the second floor to the softer olive greens and grays predominating in the accommodations. A few are furnished with queen beds, but most have kings. Some rooms have fireplaces, private balconies, small refrigerators, and heated bathroom floors—or, in the case of the penthouse, all of these plus a microwave. Four nearby spacious cottages, all decorated in a similar style and all with decks, seem built for romance.

Literally located along the landing strip of Fredericksburg's local airport, the Hangar Hotel is an homage to the town's famed National Museum of the Pacific War, designed and outfitted with just about every relic and detail you can imagine in a World War II–era hotel. Don't worry—you won't be bothered by the roar of 747s taking flight; the planes here are small, private prop planes and barely noticeable inside the hotel. Rooms each have king beds and are simple yet comfortable, with 1940s-style decor. The adjacent diner is your typical old-school soda fountain establishment, and the stylish on-site Officer's Club bar is a popular evening gathering spot for guests and locals alike (ages 18 and over). Discount rates are offered to seniors and military service professionals.

Located about 50 miles south of Springerville along the picturesque Coronado Trail, Hannagan Meadow is considered remote—even by Eastern Arizona standards. One of the last places to stop along the trail, Hannagan Meadow Lodge is a great place to spend a night. Choose to stay in the historic lodge or more rustic log cabins, some of which have full kitchens and fireplaces, while others are equipped with microwaves, stove tops, and wood-burning stoves. Three meals a day are served at the on-site restaurant—a good thing considering there's not much for a half hour in either direction.

A sprawling Georgian-style brick structure rising six white-trimmed stories above the gracious Dartmouth Green contains this chichi boutique hotel and is also home to the acclaimed farm-to-table restaurant, Pine.

Built in the early 1800s by Captain Mitchell Reed, this yellow, mansard-roofed inn sits atop McKown Hill in the heart of Boothbay Harbor. The water views are lovely, there's nearly always a breeze, and the innkeepers cater to the needs of each guest. At breakfast, served on the veranda or in the dining room, herbs and vegetables from the inn's garden are often used in dishes such as quiche, blueberry pancakes, or lobster deviled eggs. Some rooms have balconies, and some have whirlpool baths. There's a guest refrigerator and wine chiller, as well as complimentary snacks and bottled water.

After more than 130 years of pampering guests, including Steven Spielberg and the Jaws cast and crew in 1975, this historic hotel is a true island classic. The gray-shingled 1891 Victorian building certainly looks the part, with its wraparound veranda, gazebo, and beautifully landscaped grounds. The resort includes two other historic buildings and an array of cottages. Whether you stay in the main house, the Roxana, or a cottage, expect Frette linens, plush robes, Molton Brown toiletries, use of beach towels, and perks like complimentary use of bicycles, shuttles to town or the beach, a saltwater pool, and hotel-led activities. The extensive children's summer program has a full roster of activities for kids; also offered are yoga and fitness classes, as well as lawn games for the whole family.

You can gaze out at the harbor from every guest room in this 1905 Colonial Revival–style hilltop mansion with old-fashioned rooms, three with fireplaces, with antique headboards and handmade quilts.

Attracting a high-end clientele, including city dwellers seeking a luxury North Fork getaway, most rooms at this three-story, gray-and-white inn have balconies, some with harbor views.

Down comforters and Frette linens outfit the beds. For a really big splurge, you might consider the Terrace Suite; at 800 square feet, it's double the size of the regular rooms, and it has a 1,000-square-foot deck.

Building facades, a grand lobby, and granite walls, stairs, and benches imbue this resort on Bar Harbor's busy waterfront with the aesthetic of the town's Gilded Age mansions. The once-private 1929 Bar Harbor Club, also designed in the Tudor style, anchors resort amenities such as a fitness center, full-service spa, clay tennis courts, and one of two heated pools. Accommodations include king and double-queen rooms as well as suites—a few swank ones sit atop an old coal pier. Serving breakfast, dinner, and drinks at the bar, the Italian restaurant has a pizza oven and outdoor seating; inside the vibe is garden room grand.

A modern maritime theme is featured throughout this Waterfront property including a generous use of teak and classic maps of the Boston harbor. Many of the rooms have windows overlooking an interior atrium, which extends eight stories up to the roof. Amenities are at a minimum, but include flat-screen TVs and complimentary Wi-Fi.

This little motel neatly packages three appealing characteristics—affordability, safety, and a pleasant location between Old Town and New Town at Garrison Bight. Units are boxy and basic, with little patios and lots of peace and quiet. For on-the-water living, book one of the four stationary houseboats with shiny new interiors; each sleeps four. Sportfishing charters are just a block away, and there's a fish-cleaning table on the dock. The pool is small but refreshing after a day exploring.
