With 278-rooms on 10 floors, the La Quinta Inn and Suites LAX is a standard value hotel near the airport, attracting budget-conscious families and business travelers. It has four meeting rooms, a free airport shuttle, free American-style breakfast (which can get busy), a small fitness center with cardio machines, free Wi-Fi, an on-site restaurant and bar, and an outdoor pool. This hotel also caters to long-term guests living on-site. Rooms are contemporary in design, have flat-screen TVs and some natural light but have unattractive views. For all the same amenities -- plus more luxury -- there's the Hilton Los Angeles Airport, which is closer to LAX but has pricier rooms.

The 182-room, Tuscany-inspired Vino Bello Resort borders Napa vineyards and offers two heated pools as well as use of the spa and dining options at the adjacent Meritage Resort. Rooms are large, traditionally furnished condominiums with flat-screen TVs and balconies or patios. The time-share sales pitch guests receive at check-in is a common complaint. To avoid this, another option is the SpringHill Suites Napa Valley.

The prime Hollywood location is the outstanding feature of the Best Western Hollywood Plaza Inn, a standard budget hotel with 82 rooms. It has a modern (but small) restaurant and cafe on-site, 24-hour front-desk service, photocopy and fax services, a pool with stylish seating, and tours to family-friendly attractions and theme parks that leave from the hotel (for a fee). Rooms have large flat-screen TVs and natural light, but the furniture is a bit dated. The hotel is on popular and convenient Highland Avenue, but the area's heavy car and foot traffic can make for a noisier night's sleep.

With colorful, modern rooms, convenient features, and a quiet location close to the highway, the Comfort Inn & Suites Anaheim Disneyland Resort is a solid budget choice. Many of the 133 spacious rooms boast views of the nightly Disneyland fireworks display, and the large outdoor pool and free daily hot breakfast are great extras. The property is a 10-minute drive from Disneyland and the hotel does not offer a shuttle, so travelers planning to visit the parks will need to make their own travel arrangements. Both Wi-Fi and parking are free.

Geared toward Anaheim visitors who want their own en-suite kitchen, the mid-range Pepper Tree is an affordable option a short drive from the Disney Parks, the Anaheim Convention Center, and Knott's Berry Farm. It's across the street from a supermarket and all rooms come with kitchens, making it a good choice for people wanting to do their own cooking. It is a bit too far to walk to Disneyland and the California Adventure Park; guests wanting to be closer to the parks may prefer one of the closer properties, such as the Carousel Inn and Suites.

This two-pearl motel from the Motel 6 chain is a fairly bare-bones property that doesn't offer much in terms of features and could use some updates, but it's a decent enough choice for those on a budget seeking a short stay in San Luis Obispo. There's an outdoor pool, but not many other amenities. Wi-Fi is charged extra, though parking and morning coffee in the lobby are free. Guest rooms are basic: each is equipped with a flat-screen TV and en-suite bathroom, some rooms add extras like microwaves and mini-fridges. Guests have complained of cleanliness and maintenance issues in the past. As an alternative, check out the Super 8 San Luis Obispo, which offers free Wi-Fi and breakfast, but it doesn't have a pool.

After finishing its renovations in 2011, this 285-room Marriott is one of the freshest-feeling hotels in kid-friendly Fisherman's Wharf, and is located three blocks from the shops and attractions along the waterfront. It has up-to-date guest rooms and a spacious fitness center, but unlike the Sheraton, Radisson, Hilton, and Hyatt, it lacks a pool.
