Eldorado Resort Casino is an upper-middle-range property in downtown Reno, a short walk from the Reno Arch and Reno Events Center. The hotel has a slightly higher-end atmosphere than other local options, though its rooms range from sharp and modern to slightly homey and dated. Minibars and flat-screen TVs are among the standard features. There's an 81,000-square-foot casino, several restaurants and bars, and a seasonal pool and hot tub on site as well. The Eldorado is a cut above the neighboring Circus Circus, and roughly comparable to the next-door Silver Legacy, although the latter's outdoor hot tub is open all year long.

Silver Legacy Resort and Casino is an upper-middle-range hotel in downtown Reno with more than 1,700 rooms and a casino featuring a huge composite dome reflecting the Nevada sky. The property is newer than several comparable hotels in the area and has an outdoor pool with mountain views. Big headlining acts swing through on weekends and the hotel hosts comedians nightly. Rooms are modern and straightforward, with flat-screen TVs and free Wi-Fi. The resort also has a small fitness center, a spa with a whirlpool and sauna, and a hair salon. Guests voice minor complaints about problems with key cards and long waits to check in, but overall it's a good choice for the rate.

This sprawling resort tucked away on scenic Old Montauk Highway takes the word "panoramic" seriously: Every room comes with a direct ocean view and private patio or balcony. The 10-acre site is situated on a hillside and includes pretty walkways, an outdoor pool, state-of-the-art fitness center, and private beach access. Rooms are large and lovely, and amenities are plentiful -- but you’ll need a car to get to restaurants and nightlife.

Renovated in 2014, the Montauk Blue Hotel is a modest budget property with clean, modern rooms and a great location right on the beach.

In addition to free parking and free Wi-Fi, the property also offers a clean and spacious indoor pool and whirlpool, as well as a large oceanfront deck for sunbathing. There is no on-site restaurant or gift shop, but vending machines are available and there are a number of restaurants nearby.

A prime downtown location and immediate proximity to the city’s most popular tourist attractions make the four-pearl Omni Providence Hotel an ideal location from which to base any trip to Providence. The hotel’s numerous on-site amenities — including two restaurants, a coffee shop, small indoor pool, event spaces, large fitness center, gift shop, and access to shopping — all combine to create a resort-style property that offers more in one space than any hotel in the city. While a bit generic in design, rooms are quiet, clean, and many offer excellent downtown views.

On a quiet corner of Bellevue Avenue, the Hotel Viking is a four-pearl option in Newport. The 208 rooms are divided into two categories: newer Newport Rooms and older Historic Rooms. All rooms feature flat-screen TVs, Starbucks coffee, and Lather toiletries, but the Historic Rooms are more limited on extra amenities. With 12 meeting rooms and spacious common areas, the hotel tends to host weddings and events. A daily resort fee covers use of the indoor pool and modern fitness center, as well as Wi-Fi. There are three restaurants and bars on-premise at the Hotel Viking -- a rooftop bar (the highest point in Newport, with stunning views), lobby bar, and upscale restaurant. As an alternative, the Newport Harbor Hotel and Marina is a lovely option overlooking the marina at a consistently lower price.

Castle Hill Inn was once the private summer home of a prominent marine biologist. Today, the 40-acre luxury property includes the original New England-style shingled mansion, along with private guest cottages, a beach, and a small marina. There are several different room types at Castle Hill, but all are outfitted with luxurious finishes such as hardwood floors and marble bathrooms. The hotel’s signature restaurant, the Castle Hill Dining Room, is highly regarded for its delectable seasonal menus and extensive wine list. Castle Hill is far from downtown Newport, and guests will pay a premium to stay here, but nightly rates do include free Wi-Fi, parking, breakfast, and afternoon tea. Travelers looking for a similar level of luxury closer to downtown should check out The Chanler at Cliff Walk, which often has comparable nightly rates.

This three-pearl hotel is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, as its lobby occupies the city's original 1909 train station. Train cars house a 50s-style pizza joint, and some of the hotel's more charactered guest rooms. There are 145 units, and decor is a mixed bag -- some are contemporary and pleasant but a bit ho-hum, and train car rooms, while charming, can feel dated. However, amenities are thoroughly modern, with flat-screen TV, coffeemakers, and free Wi-Fi, and some rooms have mini-fridges. The property is rundown in spots, but plays host to a slew of eateries plus entertainment venues, including a comedy club. Travelers looking for a stay that's in the heart of downtown can consider Hampton Inn & Suites Chattanooga/Downtown, but it lacks the historic flair.

The upscale Waipouli Beach Resort is a collection of individually owned units, about half of which are managed by Outrigger. The 198 condos at this oceanfront property are a handsome exercise in island-home style, and they include high-end kitchens and terraces. The property has one of the nicest pools on Kauai's east side, but other services and activities are limited. Additionally, while the beach is pretty, reef outcroppings make it better for wading than swimming. On the other hand, it’s conveniently located across from a Starbucks and Safeway, halfway between north and south shore sights, and there’s an independent restaurant on-site. You can’t beat the sharp digs or central location, but those seeking upscale pampering and a better beach might consider the comparably priced Koa Kea in Poipu.

The upscale Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center is a true destination resort and among the nation’s most popular venues for major conventions. Nine acres of lush, climate-controlled gardens attract droves of tourists, as does fast access to Opry Mills and Grand Ole Opry. Amenities include a full-service spa, 17 dining options, and numerous shops. There are almost 3,000 guest rooms that are spacious and tastefully decorated with contemporary details. But the resort’s sheer size can make it confusing and daunting to simply get around. It’s certainly not for everyone, and it’s not inexpensive, with often-hefty room rates, daily resort fees, and pricey parking. Travelers looking for a smaller, more intimate property could try the boutique Hutton Hotel, which has a stylish look and wine receptions.
