This 179-room, three-and-a-half-pearl Hampton Inn has way more personality than most of its sister properties, and includes a beautiful indoor pool and whirlpool, an outdoor hot tub, and a full bar and restaurant. Sharp, modern rooms come with mini-fridges, microwaves, and coffeemakers -- and extremely comfortable beds. Travelers might want to also check out the neighboring Holiday Inn Express, which has slightly lower rates, but with a private business area, a large game room, a fitness center, and a free hot breakfast, the Hampton Inn Holland offers more bang for the buck.

This small boutique hotel sits right on Main Street in the middle of downtown Mackinac Island. The clean, but dated, 18 guest rooms are individually decorated with floral bedspreads, and some come with bedroom hot tubs and nice views of Main Street and the harbor. Interior rooms are less expensive, but only have skylights instead of windows. The two-and-a-half pearl hotel accommodates romantic escapes and family vacations. Rates are slightly less than similar hotels of the same quality, such as the Hotel Iroquois. Breakfast isn’t available, so guests looking for that amenity can try the Cottage Inn of Mackinac Island.

The 92-room Inn at Harbor Shores is an upper-middle-range, cottage-style property on the waterfront with excellent views from a rooftop deck, a poolside bar, and the restaurant’s terrace. The hotel has two indoor/outdoor pools, hot tubs, and a spa, while active travelers will appreciate the outdoor volleyball and 24-hour gym. Simple, elegant rooms have private balconies overlooking the golf course or harbor, while suites feature kitchens and Lake Michigan views in some. A popular wedding venue, the property has 13,000-square-feet of event space. Guests should note that rooms have poor sound insulation, so wedding parties and passing trains can be disturbing. It's one of the priciest properties in the area, so travelers seeking something less expensive might want to consider the Holiday Inn Express St. Joseph instead.

Two-pearl Comfort Inn Traverse City is a pleasant, small hotel that's a short walk from the lakefront and a five-minute drive to downtown Traverse City. Welcome freebies include a shuttle bus that heads downtown and to the airport, and a buffet breakfast with hot and cold items. The 62 rooms come in a variety of configurations, but are a bit tired -- some have kitchens or extra beds, while others have in-room jetted tubs. Despite its budget status, there's a decent selection of amenities here, including an indoor pool with a whirlpool, a fitness room, game room, and coin-operated laundry facilities. Travelers willing to push the budget a bit could look at Cherry Tree Inn & Suites instead, which is right on the waterfront and adds an outdoor pool.
