Ohrid
This hotel is opposite a pleasant local park about a 15-minute walk east of the Old Town along the harbourfront promenade. The rooms are exceptionally clean and the beds are massive, but the decor is dated and a bit too blingy: for this money there are better options closer to the Old Town.
Suites have petite lake-view balconies and there's an on-site gym.
