118th Avenue, Fennville (near Saugatuck)
A wooded LGBTQ+ campground with cabins, vintage trailers, glamping tents and RV sites, plus a heated pool, cafe and themed weekends. Great for groups and budget trips; guests must be 21+ and buy a small annual membership.
Blue Star Highway, Saugatuck
A restored 1950s-style motel with a pool and fire-pit courtyard, a short drive from both downtowns. Fun, unfussy and good value for a weekend at the Dunes.
Woodland Dr, a short walk from Main Street
An adults-only spot in the redwoods with cabins, rooms and glamping tents, a long history with the LGBTQ+ crowd, and a home base during Lazy Bear Week. It's relaxed and good value, breakfast is included, and you can walk to town and Johnson's Beach.
NE 13th Avenue, between the beach and Wilton Manors
A friendly two-storey guesthouse set around a garden courtyard and heated pool, with continental breakfast and a weekend happy hour where guests get to know each other. It's a good-value pick for anyone who wants an easy, sociable base rather than a polished hotel.
Lincoln Road, west end
Miami Beach's only gay-owned-and-operated hotel, with its own bar hosting karaoke, trivia and themed nights. It's a sociable, good-value base, though light sleepers should know the bar can make it noisy.
River North (E Ohio Street)
A design-minded hotel-hostel hybrid with private rooms and shared bunk rooms, plus a popular cocktail bar. A budget base downtown that's an easy Red Line ride to Northalsted, though reviews say service can be hit and miss.
8585 Santa Monica Blvd
One of the cheapest beds right on Santa Monica Boulevard, with an outdoor pool and the bars a short walk east. Basic and reviews on upkeep are mixed, but it's hard to beat the location for the price.
Carrer de Sant Isidre, town center
Two 19th-century villas full of artwork, around a garden where you can eat the buffet breakfast under the palms. Rooms are simple and some are dated, but the price, location and garden make it a good budget pick in the center.
Levontin St, between Rothschild and Florentin
A big, friendly hostel with private rooms as well as dorms, a rooftop, a bar and nightly events. It suits solo travelers or groups on a budget who want to meet people and walk to the Rothschild and Florentin bars.
Schöneberg (Fuggerstraße 33)
A small, 16-room hotel on the third floor of an Art Nouveau building, right on Fuggerstraße. It calls itself an LGBT hotel open to everyone. Breakfast runs until noon, which helps after a late night, and it suits budget travelers who want to be in the middle of the neighborhood.
Schöneberg (Motzstraße 7)
A simple, older-style hotel with large rooms on Motzstraße, about a minute from Nollendorfplatz. Its own website places it in the middle of the 'Regenbogenkiez' (rainbow neighborhood). Guests often praise the breakfast buffet, and it's a good-value base if you mostly need a bed close to the bars.
Soho
Small, smartly designed rooms (some with no window) at some of the lowest prices in central London, a few minutes' walk from Old Compton Street. It's a good choice if you'll spend little time in your room and want to walk home from the bars.
Church-Wellesley Village (68 Gloucester St)
Simple suites in a Victorian house a minute from Church Street, each with a private bathroom, fridge and microwave. A practical, budget-friendly base if you plan to spend your time out in the Village.
Silom
A cheerful, good-value chain hotel on Silom Road about a block from the Soi 4 bars, with a rooftop infinity pool. A practical base if you plan to spend your money on nights out rather than the room.
