Sleeping
Tangier's sleeping options cater to all budgets and styles, spanning the spectrum from the
ultra-cheap
pensiónes
(guesthouses) near the port to the chic hotels along the oceanfront.
Most budget accommodation options are clustered around the medina and close to the port
gate. They're cheap but only occasionally cheerful, so it pays to hunt around. In addition
to those listed here, you can find plenty of choice in the streets around Ave Mokhtar
Ahardan and Rue Magellan. Low-season travellers might get a reduced rate. Before ac-
cepting your room, however, make sure that it has not grown musty from the sea.
