The Mansions on Fifth is an upscale, historic boutique hotel housed in two converted mansions along what was once known as Millionaire’s Row. Its elegant public spaces have dark, intricately carved wood paneling, coffered ceilings, hand-painted tile fireplaces -- and a chapel. The 22 individually decorated rooms feature antique style and pillow-top mattresses; some with fireplaces and claw-foot or whirlpool tubs. Guests can expect a free continental breakfast served in a formal dining room, a large event space, and butler service. On the downside, there's no elevators access for third-floor rooms, and a fee for parking. The Omni William Penn Hotel is another upscale option in a building that dates back to 1916.

The 14-room Villa Teresa is a rustic, country-style property where guests will get what they pay for. This value hotel is best for travelers passing by on either of the nearby freeways, or budget-minded guests with their own transportation. Located a 30-minute drive outside of Rome, this slightly neglected spot has sparse but comfortable rooms with shower-only bathrooms and small flat-screen TVs. Some rooms also have pleasant terraces. A basic breakfast is available for a small fee and there is a simple bar for drinks. There's not much in the area, although a bus stops just outside the property for relatively convenient travel into the city. Those who can swing twice the price (which still isn't much), will find contemporary rooms, a restaurant, and slightly closer proximity to the center of Rome at the Best Western Plus Art Hotel Noba.
