Hotel Murillo

The two-and-a-half-pearl Hotel Murillo is centrally located within a short walking distance of the city’s main attractions in Seville. The 64 contemporary rooms were updated in 2014 to include flat-screen TVs, air-conditioning, and marble bathrooms. Some have free minibars, though all lack coffee- and tea-making facilities. There’s no restaurant or gym here, but the hotel does have a seasonal rooftop bar and a hot and cold breakfast buffet that’s served until late (for a fee). Wi-Fi isn’t always reliable and the hotel can get noisy at night, according to some guests. Hotel Zenit Sevilla is a good alternative with a restaurant, bar, and gym in the trendy Triana neighborhood. 

Lift House Lodge

The two-and-a-half pearl Lift House Lodge is a simple hotel that attracts mostly couples and families with its self-sufficient studio-style units, conveniently located in Vail Village. The Lift House Lodge overlooks Vail’s ski runs and pedestrian mall. The 45 rooms lack air-conditioning, but they have flat-screen TVs, kitchenettes, fireplaces, and balconies. The services and amenities are a bit limited here, as there are no breakfast or swimming pool. However, guests can enjoy an indoor 12-person hot tub, free Wi-Fi, and a laundry facility on-site. There are two restaurants located in the same building, though not directly in the hotel, which is a perk for visitors who don’t want to cook in their room. Destination Resorts Vail is a good alternative, with extra features like a year-round pool, hot tub, multi-bedroom apartments, and a steakhouse. 

Haad Yao Bayview Resort & Spa

Haad Yao Bayview Resort & Spa is a value hotel located on the sleepy northwest coast of Koh Phangan. The 196 guest rooms range from no-frills Standard Rooms which lack balconies or views to wood-clad Bungalows with spacious balconies and ocean views. All rooms have air-conditioning, TVs, and mini-fridges, but amenities are dated and many past guests report issues with the air-conditioning. Also, the steep cliffside setting means challenging hikes between rooms and facilities. Although there is direct beach access, no lounge chairs are provided on the beach or around the pool. Facilities include two outdoor swimming pools, a multi-cuisine restaurant, a tour-desk, convenience store, and spa. Those who’d prefer to stay in a less isolated area, may want to consider the Palita Lodge at Haad Rin — though rates are higher.
