Hotel Hortencia is by no means luxurious, it is in fact a rather basic hotel, but the location is great, it is only 4 or 5 short blocks from the beach, with courteous and helpful staff, the proprietor is friendly and attentive, there are quite a few returning guests I spoke to, the hotel is expanding, the week I was there, they just opened up three more rooms in the new part of the hotel, there are also a lot of cheap eats on the street with food kiosks dotted along the street, there are also higher-ends restaurants a couple of blocks away. The only problem I had was the first night I was there, there was loud music from a Cantina next to the hotel, but it didn't last as late or as long as I feared. I will definitely stay there again.
