According to this Orbitz report, the next couple of days will be some of the best for nabbing the lowest Thanksgiving airfare, whether you're heading home to see family or venturing out on a vacation. Here are 11 great Thanksgiving hotel deals that dip as low as $99 per night, and top out at $189.

From $129: InterContinental Mark Hopkins (California)
Many of the rooms at this glamorous outpost on Nob Hill in San Francisco afford views of the city and Bay Area. Plus, it offers complimentary weekday town car service so you don’t have to worry about getting around. We were pleasantly surprised to see standard king rooms start from $129 per night on November 25 and 29. For the nights in between, rates bump up slightly to $189 -- still a rare bargain for the pricey City by the Bay, where it’s difficult to find stellar accommodations for under $200 per night.

From $159: Essex Resort and Spa (Vermont)
This top-rated culinary resort is known for it's cooking classes, two AAA Four-Diamond restaurants, and wellness facilities (indoor and outdoor pools, fitness center, and spa). Except for Friday and Saturday after Thanksgiving, which have a two-night minimum for $189 and $174 respectively, rooms start from $159 for a traditional room all week. The resort is also hosting its own Thanksgiving buffet with carving stations for turkey, prime rib, and ham -- plus a seafood and raw bar, pasta, and an array of traditional trimmings and desserts. The buffet is $45 for adults, $20 for children 6-11, and free for kids under 5.

From $149: Orlando World Center Marriott (Florida)
How about giving thanks to a hotel that has a large pool complex with water slides, a full-service spa, several eateries, and a golf course to keep you busy? That's exactly what this Marriott offers -- and we're thrilled to discover that their holiday rates aren't marked up in the least. Between November 25 and 29, resort view guestrooms with one king bed or two doubles are as low as $149-$159 per night. Note: The advance purchase rate requires you to pre-pay in full.

From $118: W Minneapolis – The Foshay (Minnesota)
Craving a 4-star hotel experience? This downtown W has a splendid observation deck on the 30th floor, outfitted with mahogany woodwork and marble. For the weekend, we found prepaid rates of $118 for king rooms November 27-29. Stays over November 25 and 26 would cost $169 and $152, respectively.

From $99: Kimpton Hotels
There's much to love about this collection of boutique properties -- from complimentary bike rentals and free travel amenities like combs and deodorant to free stays for your pets and more. Throughout the holiday weekend at Washington, DC's Carlyle Dupont Circle, select the advance purchase rate for king deluxe rooms priced from $99. The Art Deco property is three blocks from the Dupont Circle Metro station, so it's a breeze to get around the nation's capital. Lorien Hotel and Spa is another property in the area -- Alexandria, Virginia, to be exact -- and can be a homebase for visiting landmarks like Arlington National Cemetery and the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. We found king deluxe rooms priced from $142-$149 for stays between November 25 and 29.

How about a stay in the Boston area? The Hotel Marlowe near Harvard Square is offering rates from $127 during Thanksgiving weekend when booking with the advance purchase rate for standard and deluxe king rooms. Sir Francis Drake in San Francisco is situated in the heart of the city's Union Square, where shopping, sights, and excellent dining are never too far. For November 25-29, historic queen rooms are priced from $143 under the advance purchase rate.

From $119: Lord Baltimore Hotel (Maryland)
This property recently opened a rooftop bar and has 440 rooms decorated in warm tones and woods. There's also a French restaurant -- aptly named French Kitchen -- that serves breakfast, lunch, dinner and brunch. For holiday stays, we found king and queen bed rooms priced from $119 per night.

From $139: Hotel Z San Diego (California)
This barely three-month-old property is located in the city's Gaslamp Quarter neighborhood, an area rife with restaurants, bars, and shops -- but be sure to leave room for the complimentary coffee and pineapple cupcakes. Holiday stays are priced from $139-$169 when staying in a Z queen room.

From $84: Embassy Row Hotel (Washington, DC)
Guests staying at this trendy hotel are in for a real treat. All 231 guestrooms have stylish accents, from the shades of blue in the carpet to the nifty high-back chairs. Its Countdown to 2016 special is available through the end of the year and discounts rates by 20-30 percent, depending on when you book. For Thanksgiving weekend, deluxe queen rooms are priced from $84. Book by October 31 and you'll get daily breakfast for two and a complimentary room upgrade, plus get the hotel amenity fee waived. After that, you can still get the room upgrade and skip paying the hotel amenity fee.

Bonus -- From $239: Hilton Aruba Caribbean Resort & Casino
How about a little Caribbean flavor to spice up your Thanksgiving? The property, which opened earlier this year, is offering rates from $239 in a room with a king bed over the holiday. While it costs just a little bit more than the other properties listed here, it's still a great bargain when you consider the rates are from $389 in January and February. The resort touts five restaurants, water sports, two pools, and 355 guestrooms that each have a patio or balcony and WiFi access.
