The Lemon Tree is always a safe bet in SB. Sometimes it's expensive based on what's happening in SB, but I've stayed there many times and will continue.

The staff was very nice as well. We really enjoyed Crocodile, the food was absolutely delicious! The room was disgusting, it smelled horrible, was very stuffy, one bed the sheets smelled and looked like they hadn’t been changed and we found hairs in it. We were so tired from the long drive I ended up throwing a blanket over the bed and we slept on that. There were hairs in the bathroom sink and tub. We won’t stay there again but would definitely eat at Crocodile.

I didn't like that the floor lamp in the room was on the other side from where the couch was, making no light available to read. There wasn't a top sheet on the bed, just the duvet cover. It was nice to get maid service every day.
