Basin Park Hotel

Set in the quaint shopping district of a spa town, this 1905 upscale hotel's rugged limestone building is next to the historic Basin Spring. Rooms have Mission-style decor and private bathrooms; suites add whirlpool tubs and/or minifridges and microwaves. A casual American restaurant has balcony views, and the top floor features a billiards bar. There's also a day spa, sundeck and hot tub, plus a ballroom. A resort fee covers parking (free shuttle to hotel lot), WiFi and history tours.
