The small Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Rockport/Bay View almost feels like a boutique hotel thanks to modern, tasteful decor and comfortable rooms. The "Bay View" add-on to the name isn’t entirely true, as only the rooms on the third floor have any sort of view of the nearby ocean -- and it’s barely there, off in the distance behind a neighboring motel. The view (or lack thereof) aside, it’s conveniently within walking distance to local beaches and attractions, and makes a fine base for exploring the area.

This property was significantly impacted by Hurricane Harvey in September 2017 and is currently not accepting reservations. We will update our review as soon as we have more information. The Hampton Inn & Suites Rockport is a stand-out in this price point for its updated, comfortable rooms, and excellent amenities, including an outdoor pool that’s straight out of a Tuscan villa, a sauna, and free breakfast. Good, strong coffee is available around-the clock in the lobby, and fresh-baked cookies in the afternoon add that right-at-home touch. The hotel is also well located in a pretty, tree-enclosed area along a main street in Rockport, close to beaches and local parks. Overall it's a great budget option only a half-hour drive to downtown.

**This property was significantly impacted by Hurricane Harvey and is currently closed through 2017. We will update our review when we have more information. **The 78-room Lighthouse Inn at Aransas Bay is in a wonderful location right on the water in old Rockport. Rooms are classic -- if slightly outdated, with comforters instead of duvets, and tube TVs -- and offer decent amenities suh as microwaves and mini-fridges. Balconies are the most appealing feature here, with two rocking chairs that face either the bay or the pool and gardens. This inn is full of scenic places to relax, including the big outdoor swimming pool surrounded by tropical landscaping and a fishing dock jutting out into the bay.

The 125-room, three-pearl Red Lion Inn is a charming, historic property on Main Street in Stockbridge, one of New England’s most iconic small towns. The individually decorated rooms and public spaces feature an impressive collection of antiques and period decor. Amenities such as room service, year-round heated outdoor pool, authentic taverns, and in-house masseuse enhances its appeal, though breakfast costs extra. The inn offers a wide variety of accommodations, ranging from cottages to rooms with shared bathrooms, but some rooms look a bit tired, even for a historic property. For an elegant boutique experience at comparable rates, consider the Gateway Inn in nearby Lenox.

The three-pearl Holiday Inn Boston-Brookline is ideal for its location -- near tourist sites, Fenway, and Longwood Medical. Typical chain-like decor in the rooms is classy, though the windows almost all face the interior of the hotel. The indoor pool and hot tub are extra perks, but their location on the first floor and surrounded on all sides by hallways makes for an awkward ambience. The price is the best value for the area -- rates are certainly much lower than at the nearby Courtyard Boston-Brookline, and include a free shuttle to Longwood Medical.
