With stucco walls and a barrel-tile roof, this little hotel resembles the manor house of a hacienda. Swaying palm trees line the entrance, which takes you to an interior courtyard. Enjoy the sun from one of the chaise longues surrounding the pool or on the second-story terrace. The cheerful rooms are more spacious than you'd expect in a budget hotel. The only thing you're giving up by staying here is the beachfront, but the ocean is only a block away.
