The 15-room Savannah Bed and Breakfast Inn was built in 1853 in the southern end of the historical quarter of Savannah and is listed in the local register of Historic Inns. Each room has individual character, but all are decorated in a formal, traditional style with four-poster beds, oriental carpets, and shelves stocked with books. The inn is renovated and bathrooms are modern, but certain period features, like steep, narrow staircases, remain. Breakfast included in the daily rate is excellent and southern-inflected; afternoon tea and evening cookies are also served. Rooms are available in four carriage houses and assorted nearby cottages.

The 138-room Hotel Chandler is a charming boutique in a convenient location in the Flatiron District, within walking distance of the Empire State Building and Penn Station. Contemporary rooms feature solid amenities, including Frette linens, Molton Brown toiletries, and iPod docks. The restaurant, Juni, serves American cuisine from a Michelin-starred chef in an airy and sophisticated setting. There is also a great on-site bar and a lounge serving free coffee and tea throughout the day. Many guests can be seen relaxing in the library off the lobby, which comes complete with a fireplace and another television. Overall, this is a solid upscale option, but it is worth comparing rates with the nearby Roger New York or Eventi.

The Casulo offers chic boutique style at an affordable price, with contemporary, zen-like decor, and rooms all featuring big soaking tubs (most next to peek-a-boo glass windows). But it's a 10-minute drive south of downtown Austin, so no popular tourist sights are within walking distance, and there's no full restaurant on-site -- just a bar and lobby cafe.

Located a five-minute ride on the hotel’s free shuttle bus from New York City’s John F. Kennedy Airport, the 330-room Crowne Plaza offers all the amenities expected of an upper-middle-range airport property: free Wi-Fi, an international restaurant, a 24-hour fitness center, and extensive meeting space. Though some rooms are starting to show some wear and tear, all are outfitted with comfortable beds, flat-screen TVs, mini-fridges, safes, and coffeemakers. Other hotel perks include free on-site parking, a 24-hour fitness center, and 24-hour room service. American and continental breakfast are available until late for a fee. All in all, this is a decent overnight option for those with an early flight, but light sleepers may want to look elsewhere, as there's traffic noise from the road out front and windows aren't well-soundproofed. The Holiday Inn New York JFK Airport Area is a good alternative.

The 201-room Holiday Inn New York JFK Area, is a mid-range, modern stopover, offering free airport shuttles and a robust list of features. They include a 24-hour fitness center, free Wi-Fi, and an American-style restaurant and bar providing free breakfast, and room service. Contemporary rooms are all clean, bright and well-equipped with flat-screen TVs, coffee- and tea-making facilities, large workstations and ample power outlets. The Holiday Inn is a decent overnight option for airport and business travelers, but the surrounding area is pretty much a suburban sprawl of fast food chains and traffic arterials with nothing touristy to see. Travelers seeking higher style, more room categories, or a pool, with even better airport proximity could check out the Hilton New York JFK Airport for a similar price.

The 118-room Staybridge Suites San Antonio NW is a mid-range chain hotel that appeals to budget-conscious travelers wanting to stay close to Six Flags Fiesta Texas. Suites and studios are spacious and light, featuring fully equipped kitchenettes, sofa beds, and dining areas, but most are showing wear and there have been reports of cleanliness issues. The outdoor pool is heated in the colder months and features a kiddy section and separate whirlpool, while the gym, although cramped, offers an array of machines. This is overall an average pick for the price, but freebies such as shuttle service within a three-mile radius, Wi-Fi, breakfast, laundry, and parking add value. The hotel hosts evening receptions with drinks and small bites several times per week, but there is no full restaurant. In this price range, the Wyndham Garden San Antonio near La Cantera is more modern.

The Four Points Sheraton San Antonio Downtown is a good choice for business travelers seeking a comfortable, spacious place to get work done during their stay, or for families needing just a little more space. Although still technically downtown, the trade-off for the lower price point and extra space is being a little farther from the main tourist areas than other downtown hotels. But for the price, the spacious and comfy rooms, and lovely outdoor pool create a great value -- as long as you don't mind the extra walk.

The Buffalo Thunder is a sprawling, upscale Hilton resort 14 miles north of Santa Fe on the Pojoaque Pueblo reservation. There’s plenty of fun to be had at the huge casino and the golf course with views of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. The pottery and Native American art on display throughout the hotel, and the rooms themselves, are spectacular, but be prepared for a rowdy pool party during summer weekends -- and hefty fees (Internet, golf, spa adds up).
