I frequently stay at the Sand Dollar. It's budget friendly and the staff is always helpful. The pool is well maintained and they have an elevator which is a godsend when you're on the 3rd floor.

For about $100/night this place was great. Fridge and microwave, plenty of close parking, felt safe enough. Pool was dirty so we didn't want to use it which was a bummer but the room was fine.
