This budget hotel get points for its location just north of Isla Río Cuale, two blocks from both the beach and the main plaza. It gets even more points for the cheerful, well-air-conditioned little restaurant-bar serving Mexican specials, and for the computer room with many stations, open 24 hours a day. On the downside are uninspired, older furnishings in some of the rooms, and rusted fridges in some "suites," which are slightly larger than standard rooms and have sinks and free microwaves upon request. Pros: Friendly staff, 24-hour Internet, near beach. Cons: Smallish, non-private pool; furnishings need upgrade.
