; Iglesia, 2c S; r per person US$9.30, cabin per per-
son US$12, cabin with air-con US$45; )
The best-looking rooms in town are a simple af-
fair but a good deal. Rooms out front are arranged around a pretty garden and have bath-
rooms with river-pebble accents. The
cabinas
out back are supercute, and the hotel res-
taurant serves good, cheap Nicaraguan food.

;
Iglesia, 1c S, ½c O; dm/s US$6/10, r with
air-con US$20; )
Nothing fancy going on here, but it's fairly clean and brightly
painted, with a couple of good hangout areas. The rooms can be a bit stale and the pillows
are a lumpy porridge consistency. The restaurant (dishes US$3 to US$5) is excellent, and
serves real coffee. You can arrange tours here.

Hospedaje Kencho
( 8944-4087;
www.hotelkencho.com
; Iglesia, ½c S; r per person without bathroom US$3, s/d with
fan US$5/7, r with air-con US$30; )
This is a bargain-basement option with slightly run-
down rooms. Everything is clean, however, and the owners are friendly. The high-end
rooms out back with air-con aren't worth it.
Entertainment
Estadio Municipal

BASEBALL

Buses stop at the attractive Parque Central. The museum and all services are within three
blocks of here. To get to the ferry terminal, head north along the road in front of Chido's

around the park a couple of hours before ferry departures.
