Spanning 2,800 miles (4,506 kilometers) from east to west, the US is a vast patchwork of landscapes and metropolises. From Arizona’s red-rocked canyons and California’s coastal beaches to New York’s big city and Virginia’s storied past, it covers any topic any traveler could want or need.

Grand Hyatt at SFO

This is a lovely hotel, very welcoming.

Reviewed By Abhayakara

I stay here whenever I have a morning flight out of SFO. I've never had a bad experience. The staff are always polite and welcoming when I check in. I wish the restaurant was a little less fancy and had vegetarian food, so that's a minus, but the cafe/store is open 24 hours, and honestly that's what i really care about—I can get a yogurt parfait at 4am before I head into the terminal for my flight. The decor here is rich and understated. Lots of dark woods. Everything feels solid. Beds are comfortable, views are fine, taking into account that this is right at the airport, so that's what you're going to see. Despite being right on the airport, the noise is muted. I did hear some machine noises at night, but they were not loud, and didn't disturb my sleep. I think it was probably the HVAC. It's reasonably priced for what it is. I would consider it a splurge if I were traveling for personal reasons. 10/10, will stay again.

This incredible property features well-appointed and charming cabins nestled throughout a wonderfully landscaped countryside replete with all the splendors of the Texas Hill country. Morning strolls, afternoon relaxation and evening activities were greatly enhanced by the natural beauty and grace Barons has to offer. The service was above and beyond all expectations. The Club was simply marvelous with an excellent selection of food, wine and fabulous desserts. Barons Creekside is suitable for romance, family get-togethers or just a weekend getaway. Its proximity to town, wineries and outdoor venues combined with its intrinsic charm is a true Texas delight.

I can’t say enough good things about our stay! The rooms were spacious and decorated so nice! It’s like entering a luxury B & B. Cute entry way with a gated inside door to prevent pet escapees. Living room area with a couch and tables. Two queen beds that were so clean and comfortable, like sleeping on a cloud. Pet pull out bed, pet food and water bowls. Desk area. Frig and mic. Two closets with shelving off the floor with heavy wooden doors to keep pets from snooping. Absolutely beautiful bathroom with barn sliding doors, enclosed shower and toilet area. Had night lights in the bathroom. I could live in there! Pet friendly! The staff were so kind, helpful, friendly, accommodating, professional and engaging. The continental breakfast was absolutely delicious, from fruit, coffee, delicious pastries from a local restaurant and fantastic banana blueberry chia seed jar (I don’t care for banana flavored food, I will make and eat this recipe)! Thank you for an amazing visit!!!!!!! Yes, we will stay again in the Best Friend Lodge on our next visit!

Bode is close to Broadway, Country Music Museum, and great restaurants. Convenient right off highway so Lyft rides were readily accessible. Rooms could use more soundproofing. LARGE rooms and ours had full kitchen

Small but Mighty!!!

Reviewed By NicoleB3217

My wife and I stayed in one of the Queen rooms with a bath in room. The room itself was quite compact, but so smartly laid out, it didn't really matter. Everything was very clean and the fact that the bed is up on a platform, really improved the sleeping experience. No saggy mattress and we both slept great! For being so centrally located, the room was also very quiet. We stayed over a weekend and were only 1 flight up from the lobby. So we should have been able to hear street noise from outside or sounds from the bar in the lobby . . . but we didn't! Excellent sound proofing and blackout shades in the room provides a great, restful sleep! The location can't be beat! An easy walk from Back Bay station and to a bunch of Cafes and Restaurants in the Back Bay made this a super easy and convenient spot. Next time I have to travel to Boston, this hotel is going to be the first one I check for reservations!

We visited Greenport and stayed at the Menhaden during the week and had an amazing time overall. Rooms were clean and well decorated. The hospitality was so great and everyone at the concierge desk (Mario, Cullen and Aedan) were super helpful. We got great recommendations for restaurants and wineries, and they were very helpful overall. The hotel has a great roof deck and the galley with snacks was such a nice touch.

Attention to details! Cool modern western vibe with fun surprises all around!

Reviewed By Danausc

We were craving a staycation and decided to do this over the memorial weekend. Best decision! We loved the eclectic luxury and the fun new western design. I’m not a cowboy type at all (sneakers are my life) and I loved the how hard they represented Fort Worth and the western roots. Super opposite of a lot of other modern new places that are trying too hard to be a city they aren’t. Highlights: 1. The rooms! We didn’t get the best view but the decor and attention to detail was insane. Fun surprises everywhere from a dozen lighting configurations to the smoothest sheets my toes have ever touched. 2. The grounds - the lobby was straight out of instagram. Be prepared for the coolest backdrop to surround you when you sip your cocktails. The pool also had a super chill but fun vibe. Also the place feels small and boutique but the more you explore, the more you surprised you find (like the front swinging loungers to the corn hole stations and fire pits. 3. Friendly service - the pool attendants were on point and helped with all requests. Same goes to the servers. I didn’t love the front desk experience since they seemed rushed and didn’t explain much about the hotel, but I highly Recommend downloading the Marriott Bonvoy app and using the messaging features. The responses are so fast. They even hooked us up with a great kids experience when at the last minute plans changed with our 3 year joining us, and I let them know in the app and they added some cool kid friendly amenities to the room (stool, stuffed horse toy, crayons and scavenger hunt). TripAdvisor Note: - I read previous reviews and agreed that they did cook some of the reviews since it’s obvious the valets wrote at least a dozen of them. They were fine but no reason to write a hotel review about the valets. Not loving this. Management - are y’all aware of this? - the negative reviews are from people that paid very high rates. I can see this being frustrating if you paid a super high rate during a very busy stay. Not sure if it’s worth $650+ a night for a standard room (we didn’t pay that) especially if service is busy. Hoping we didn’t just get lucky on the service! Tip: stay if there is a special Drover event (eg around Christmas). We learned about the hotel when a friend invited us to go with them to see Santa there. They hook it up nicely for their guests during special holiday events! (S’mores!) Highly recommend the Drover, especially if you can get a “good” rate during a less than super busy day.

Book Les Cactus, charming boutique hotel.

Reviewed By Exploration286084

Perfectly divine. We had a wonderful 2 night stay in this boutique hotel, beds are super comfy, adult only property, very quite, pool is saltwater and a nice temperature. The design is unique and interesting. High attention to detail in all aspects of guest service from the basket breakfast to snacks in the rooms on arrival. There is no coffee in the rooms but available at 8am with breakfast. If your an early riser, bring yourself some instant espresso packets as there is a kettle in the room. I would stay at Les Cactus again in a heart beat. PS. Don't miss the small roof top patio after sunset. Lovely views for a private glass of wine to end your day.
