Park Lane Suites & Inn

Park Lane Suites & Inn is a budget property near Portland’s Japanese Gardens and soccer stadium. Free Wi-Fi, free parking, a laundry room, and coffee in the lobby about sums up the features. The 86 rooms and suites offer flat-screen TVs and coffeemakers, while suites also have kitchenettes and living rooms. Decor is simple and has a slight retro-vibe that’s popular in Portland. For travelers with more to spend, it may be worth pricing the Inn at Northrup Station — a retro-style property with all suites, a rooftop terrace, and free wine days.

No Limit Hostel Havana

Casa Buena Vista is a reliable budget option offering four individual rooms inside a family-owned apartment. The property is housed in an elegant but faded colonial building set in a calm residential pocket that’s removed from tourist bustle yet walkable to sights, like Calle 23 and the Malecon. The sixth-floor setting wraps the place with stunning city views, although some rooms facing inward lack any vista at all. Rooms are otherwise quiet and comfortable, but very basic — with fridges, private bathrooms, and little else. Guests appreciate the lofty views, hearty breakfast (for a fee), location, authentic local vibe, and value for money. Overall, Casa Buena Vista suits those seeking a cheap but reliable accommodation while they explore the city. Travelers seeking an intimate apartment stay with a more modern vibe could try el81 Guesthouse.

Hotel Saint John’s

The budget Hotel St John’s has a central Havana address, right in the heart of Vedado. It’s a short stroll from nightlife and restaurant hub Calle 23, and easy walking distance from the iconic coastal stretch the Malecon. Many of the property’s 88 rooms and suites take in lovely city or sea views. However, they’re terribly dated, and they’re prone to the odd maintenance issue. Sporadic hot water is a common complaint, and while some guests praise the cleanliness, others find it lacking. Light sleepers should get a room facing away from the street, but the top-floor nightclub may warrant earplugs, too. Probably the best thing about this place is the location; it’s best suited to night owls seeking cheap digs with plenty to eat and drink nearby. Travelers seeking more on-site amenities could try Hotel Kohly. 

Kaz Kreol Beach Lodge

Kaz Kreol Beach Lodge is a two-and-a-half-pearl beachfront hotel on a sleepy bay just outside of Ocho Rios. Its 19 air-conditioned rooms have king or queen beds, flat-screen TVs, mini-fridges, and ocean-view patios or balconies. Premium Rooms all have direct beach access. There’s no pool, but the hotel’s beach is lined with plastic lounge chairs. Free kayaks are a plus. The ocean-view restaurant gets positive reviews from previous guests, and serves Jamaican and Greek cuisine. Other amenities include an oceanfront bar, free welcome fruit or rum punch, and free one-way taxi service to downtown Ocho Rios. For an oceanfront stay with a gorgeous beach and pool that’s also closer to central Ocho Rios, it’s worth checking out Sand Castles Resort.
