Economy Inn & Suites

The 32-room Economy Inn & Suites is a budget hotel situated on a quiet side street, about a 10-minute walk from central Gatlinburg. Many attractions and eateries are within walking distance, and others are a short drive away. Rooms are basic and dated, but they have flat-screen TVs, microwaves, coffeemakers, and mini-fridges, and some have cooktops and sinks, too. Certain bathrooms feature jetted tubs. A free continental breakfast is served daily, and parking and Wi-Fi also are free. Pets are allowed for a fee. All in all, this is a fine place for no-frills guests who will be out and about for most of their visit. Travelers who’d like something a little more modern could check out the Quality Inn & Suites Gatlinburg, where some rooms have private balconies and fireplaces. 

Phangan Bayshore Resort

The budget Phangan Bayshore Resort is a prime choice for guests traveling to Haad Rin for its famous Full Moon Parties. Located directly on Sunrise Beach — one of the venues of the monthly celebration — the resort is crowded, rowdy, and much pricier when the moon is full. The 31 rooms have outdoor patios and minibars, but not all face the beach and most could use a more thorough clean-up — plus better showers. Features like the large outdoor pool and the large breakfast buffets are quieter and more relaxing during the off-season, but make no mistake, few people here aren’t looking for a party. To experience a quieter side of Ko Pha Ngan, the Sarikantang Resort & Spa has comparable rates and features on the other end of the island. 

Motel 6 Redmond

The two-pearl Motel 6 Redmond offers 100 clean rooms at a budget-friendly price in southern Redmond, an eight-minute drive from the airport. Despite the no-frills approach of the brand, there are a few nice features like a hot tub, free Wi-Fi, and free parking. Pets are welcome without a fee, as well. Simple rooms have flat-screen TVs with expanded cable channels, mini-fridges, and microwaves, but the open hanging spaces and lack of artwork creates a spartan feel. Those looking for a bit more in terms of style and amenities should check out Sleep Inn & Suites Redmond. The decor there is contemporary and features include a pool, gym, and free breakfast. 

Sleep Inn

The 59-room Sleep Inn in Bend, Oregon is a value chain hotel located a 13-minute drive from the center of town and parks along the Deschutes River. Rooms are contemporary and have good amenities for the price, including microwaves, coffeemakers, and mini-fridges. There’s little to do on-site, but the outdoor pool and hot tub are pleasant, and the free breakfast is convenient. Compare rates and amenities with the similarly priced Three Sisters Inn and Suites, which is closer to the center of town but has less stylish decor.
