You must contain multitudes. To be considered for our selection, you must possess a unique combination of service, design, and ambiance that perfectly serves your location and your cost. And to remain a Tablet hotel, those traits must remain balanced. Standards can decline and fashions can change, so hotels are routinely removed from the site if we catch them slipping, or if they receive less-than-rave reviews from Tablet guests.<\/p>\n<p>The eleven hotels below don&#8217;t have to worry about that anytime soon.
