Hotel BeauPort

If you're pounding down the N1 on the long, grueling transit route heading south toward Dakhla or Mauritania, this hotel is a highly reliable stopover to break up the journey. Because it is located right in the port area of El Marsa rather than the main city center of Laayoune, you totally skip the chaotic inner-city traffic when you're tired. The rooms are clean, the beds are comfortable, and there's a proper working lift so you don't have to carry heavy luggage up three flights of stairs. Having a solid restaurant on-site that serves hot food is a massive lifesaver, meaning you can park up, drop your kit, and eat without having to hunt around town.
