Ranch Inn

The two-pearl Ranch Inn is a solid choice for budget-conscious travelers who don’t mind swapping more amenities for affordable rates and a convenient downtown location. The no-frills, motel-style property is located on a busy road that’s surrounded by shops and restaurants and just a three-minute walk from Jackson’s historic Town Square. Freebies include continental breakfast, parking, and Wi-Fi. The Ranch also has a laundry room and guest computer. Rooms are clean and comfortably sized, but they’re dated and standard rooms don’t include coffeemakers, microwaves, or mini-fridges—Suites and premium Tower Rooms include them and also have balconies with good mountain views. It’s worth comparing rates with the Antler Inn, another budget property downtown that has a huge whirlpool and free ski season shuttles but no breakfast.

Carousel Inn on the Beach

Catering to budget-travelers looking for a sunny getaway, Carousel Inn on the Beach is an unfussy, two-pearl property located on the sands of Fort Myers. The inn’s 27 rooms are big and clean, plus they include full kitchens with ovens. The property has a motel-style layout, bookended by a well-kept pool on one side and the white sands of Fort Myers Beach on the other. It’s a relaxed, no-frills property that offers good value for guests who can do without the extensive amenities of a full-scale hotel or resort. Travelers may want to compare rates and features with The Neptune Resort, which is situated within walking distance of a wider variety of dining options. 

Comfort Inn at Newport Beach

The 55-room Comfort Inn Middletown is a budget option located a 10-minute walk to the popular Easton’s Beach and about a nine-minute drive from downtown Newport, making it ideal for families and couples who value location over frills. The simple rooms are spacious and come with standard amenities like flatscreen TVs, mini-fridges, and coffee  —  but not much else. A free continental breakfast, use of the heated indoor pool, and parking are included in the room rate. The hotel has a small laundry area for an extra fee. Travelers looking for a few more amenities and a downtown Newport location might consider Newport Harbor Hotel and Marina, which has a pool, a restaurant, and stunning marina views — but at a higher price.
