New York: Urban Cowboy
This four-room B&B in Brooklyn (pictured above) is a bit off the beaten path, but the industrial Brooklyn meets American West vibe is about as hip as East Williamsburg gets. The Dream Catcher room is so small it barely fits a single bed, and a shared bathroom is down the hall, but it comes with breakfast and access to the parlor floor, backyard, and a whirlpool.

San Francisco: Mystic Hotel by Charlie Palmer
Thanks to promotions through the end of this year, $150 goes a long way at the newly renovated Mystic Hotel by Charlie Palmer, located on the border between Union Square, Chinatown, and FiDi. You might score a compact Mystic Junior room (150 to 195 square feet) with exposed brick walls, a slightly larger Mystic Guest Room with a bay window, or sometimes even a junior suite, depending on the night. Book via mobile for the best deals. Promotional rates from $139–$150, mystichotel.com
Cartagena: Alfiz Boutique Hotel
Built in the 17th century in the heart of Cartagena’s atmospheric old city (a UNESCO-Heritage Site), the Alfiz has eight rooms, a peaceful ambience, and décor inspired by the Colombian destination’s rich history (four poster beds; carved wooden mirrors; exposed beam ceilings). Right now you can snag standard rooms for a steal, with breakfast and Wi-Fi included, and an airport transfer if you stay three nights or more. From $131, alfizhotel.com
