Kent Hotel   

To be honest, we only booked this hotel because it was the cheapest place we could find. However, the place is awesome!! Yeah, the rooms aren't big, but they are very well-done in unique colors. They have a CD player, and have upscale Aveda products in the bathrooms. The service is amazing- the desk clerks were downright helpful and friendly. The location of Kent is amazing! Very close to the beach and nightlife- no cabs needed. And it has the coolest lobby- huge projection clock and free internet access. Free beach towels too! Only negatives: the TV is tiny, and there is no bar or pool.
