All come with free Wi-Fi, flat-screen TVs, modern but cozy furnishings, and bathrooms with shower/tub combos. There's no on-site restaurant, but a free breakfast is served every morning and includes plenty of cereals and fresh fruit. Parking, while free, is limited to three spots.

The budget Highland Inn sits in trendy Poncey-Highland, a neighborhood full of independently owned cafes, shops, and restaurants. The 80 guest rooms are no-frills but include free Wi-Fi, flat-screen TVs, mini-fridges, and microwaves -- some have full stoves. Built in 1927, the inn is quaint and charming -- or simply old, depending on one's perspective -- and its quirkiness might not appeal to all guests. Note that there's no elevator, and bathrooms are cramped and could use some updating -- guests have complained about worn caulking and water-stained fixtures. Travelers seeking a more standard hotel at budget-friendly rates might want to consider the Holiday Inn Express & Suites Atlanta Downtown.

The centrally located, 176-room Taj Cape Town is a luxurious property occupying two refurbished historic buildings and a contemporary tower. While the hotel’s heritage rooms and suites embody the charm of a bygone era, their modern counterparts come with balconies.

On-site features consist of Indian and international restaurants, two lounges -- one with afternoon tea -- a narrow indoor swimming pool, elegant spa, well-equipped gym, and a range of meeting and function facilities. Travelers wishing to stay by the city’s waterfront, rather than the CBD, might prefer The Table Bay Hotel, though rooms aren't as impressive as those found at the Taj.
