Just off the boardwalk, this welcoming hotel (and restaurant in summer) does the trick. Pink hallways lit by Riffian fabric lanterns lead you into each room, which the manager admits are just 'normal'. Lack of frills aside, the manager is extremely hospitable, making this place a worthwhile stay for a night or two in Oued Laou.
