Texican Court- Irving, TX
There aren't many boutique hotel choices in Irving, Texas. The Dallas suburb is all quite new and planned, so don't expect any historic options either. But they do have the Texican Court- a vintage inspired motel, which is close enough.

Ritz Carlton- Denver, CO
Full disclosure- this was a points redemption stay. Chain hotels aren't usually my thing, and this stay reminded me why. The hotel is fine- it will get the job done, but in a very bland way. Life is too short for bland.

Hyatt Regency Chesapeake Bay Golf Resort- Cambridge, MD
I will preface this post by admitting we are not this resort's target audience. I could tell from the reviews and hotel website that the property was more geared toward families and children, but thought during the shoulder season it might be fun for a weekend getaway. Don't make that mistake. This is not the location for a couples escape.

Sheraton Centre Toronto- Toronto, ON
Full disclosure- I would not have chosen the Sheraton for a personal stay. It is a convention/tourist hotel, that is always busy, without a lot of personality. It is centrally located however, and the property was fully renovated during the pandemic, making it a solid choice in downtown Toronto.

The Otis Hotel Austin- Austin, TX
To be honest, The Otis would not have been my first Austin hotel choice. Or even my second, for that matter. But, when last minute travel happens, you take what's available.
