There are a variety of stunning hotels and B&B's in Connecticut but most of them come with a hefty price tag. Check out five unique alternatives.

1. The Inn at Kent Falls - I've lived in CT for 37 years and even I didn't know this magic little place existed. Reminiscent of a 1700 inn, this quiet B&B has been updated to suit 21st century travelers. Located 2 miles north of Kent, the inn features 4 suites and several queen sized rooms, some with fireplaces. Trip Advisor labels it the best B&B in New England.

2. New Fairfield Motel - Obviously not the Hyatt, but this quaint little motel is located 2 miles from Candlewood Lake on Rt.39 in New Fairfield, this 13 room family owned motel is quiet, clean, and comfortable and is only about 1 mile from Squantz Pond State Park. If you're thinking about renting a pontoon boat for the day, it's only an 11 mile drive to Echo Bay Marina in Brookfield.
