Big Bear Frontier

Situated by Big Bear Lake and within walking distance of the the village’s shops, restaurants, and bars, the Big Bear Frontier Cabins & Hotel is a rustic, homey property comprising a collection of cabins and guest rooms. The budget-oriented complex offers a handful of amenities, including an outdoor pool, a business center, vending machines, and a selection of books, videos, and DVDs for borrow. Though decor is fairly basic, the guest rooms and cabins are cozy and are outfitted with fireplaces, flat-screen TVs, VCR/DVD players, microwaves, and free Wi-Fi. Cabins add kitchens, and some offer extras like whirlpool tubs and living/dining rooms. Cleanliness can be an issue, however, and some past guests have also complained of maintenance problems. Travelers might want to compare rates with ITH Big Bear Mountain Adventure Lodge, which offers both hostel-like dorms and private rooms, plus free breakfast and dinner.

Bar Harbor Grand Hotel

The lower-middle-range Bar Harbor Grand Hotel is a good choice for travelers seeking to stay in a quiet yet convenient location in downtown Bar Harbor. Opened in 2003 as a replica to a circa 1875 hotel, this quaint, 71-room hotel is on a quiet, tree-lined street that’s a four-minute walk to the seaside town’s Village Green. The hotel’s traditional decor can lean toward dated, but the rooms are large and include mini-fridges, coffeemakers, and free Wi-Fi. Breakfast is included in the rates, and the hotel has a heated outdoor pool/whirlpool, a fitness center, a laundry room, and free parking. Be aware that this property is not open year-round. Travelers could also consider the Best Western Acadia Park Inn, which has lower rates but a less-convenient location. 

Fortuna Hotel

The Fortuna Hotel is a no-frills, budget property located in vibrant Little India just a three-minute walk from Mustafa Market and the Farrer Park MRT Station. The hotel’s 104 rooms, which range from doubles to four-person family rooms, are basic but comfortable with tasteful, generic decor, though they’re showing a bit of wear. Rooms are air-conditioned and feature en-suite bathrooms and standard amenities like electric kettles, mini-fridges, flat-screen TVs, and free Wi-Fi, though some guests find the latter unreliable. The hotel has virtually no extra property features — there’s a reception area, but no real lounge space. A very basic breakfast is offered for an extra fee. By comparison, the nearby Broadway Hotel Singapore is a budget property with an on-site restaurant, but starker guest room decor.

Sonrisa

Sonrisa Boutique Hotel is a low-frills 10-room hotel for travelers needing a pleasant place to sleep between dives or exploring Boniare’s natural beauty. Rooms are spacious and simple, if a bit worn, and feature private balconies or porches with pool or garden views. The Master Suites have full kitchens and there’s a Weber Grill and microwave available for guest use. A free breakfast is served up poolside six days a week. The hotel is a pleasant 10-minute walk to downtown Kralendijk, where plenty of restaurants, bars, and shops are located. Children under 10 aren’t allowed. For an alternative with more amenities, the nearby Divi Flamingo Beach Resort and Casino has lush oceanfront grounds, restaurants, and multiple pools, though rates will be higher.
