Wakeup Copenhagen Carsten Niebuhrs Gade

This 510-room modern hotel features hip minimalist interiors and caters to budget travelers with its compact and basic guest rooms. The rooms are clean and spare: equipped with flat-screen TVs, free Wi-Fi, and tiny desks, but not much else — there’s little storage space, and the capsule-like bathrooms are small. A buffet breakfast is served in an inviting dining room (for a fee), plus the hotel has a lobby bar for drinks and snacks. Other amenities include a business center, bike rentals, and on-site parking. The property is just a 10-minute walk from the main train station and also close to Tivoli Gardens, but there’s not much in the immediate area. For a more convenient location near the Royal Danish Theater and plenty of shops, check out the brand’s other property, Wakeup Copenhagen, Borgergade.

MCM Elegante Suites

The two-and-a-half-pearl MCM Elegante Suites is a solid choice for budget-conscious travelers willing to compromise on location for an affordable rate. The 122-room, all-suites property is on a busy road well north of the city center, with little within walking distance. But freebies include a hot breakfast buffet, Wi-Fi, parking, and even use of the guest laundry room. Free passes to a local YMCA also are offered, and there’s a small 24-hour fitness center on-site. Suites are clean and comfortable and include fully equipped kitchens, but decor is mismatched and dated. Travelers seeking more contemporary rooms with better amenities can check rates at Hyatt Place Colorado Springs. 

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Panama City

The 119-room La Quinta Inn & Suites Panama City has offerings typical for a basic budget hotel: bed, TV, free breakfast, and free Wi-Fi. While this property is conveniently located near Panama City ‘s shops and restaurants, some aspects of the hotel are in need of an upgrade. Common complaints include paper-thin walls and elevators that are constantly out of service. Highlights include simple rooms stocked with mini-fridges and microwaves and a sunny outdoor pool with an area to sunbathe. The hotel has a pet-friendly attitude that appeals to some travelers and leaves others wishing for a quiet night’s sleep.
