An ordinary motel is suitable for no more than 2 days, but I'm talking about an "economy" room, maybe an improved room is better. "Economy": microwave, small 2-bed, very small room for two, without a window (i.e. it is there, but it opens onto the patio opposite the common table, so we always had curtains closed), a bathroom is acceptable, TV (there are Russian channels), only two towels (large and a small one). For 6 days, nothing was cleaned, bed linen, towels were not changed. Audibility is something, especially when they were doing "magic" in the next room. At the reception, you could take plates and a knife. There is no kettle in the room. Boiling water is in the common room next to the reception. They meet well, there are employees who speak Russian.
It's a long way to the sea: at least 20-25 minutes, the Red Sea seemed cold compared to the Mediterranean (we arrived in September from Cyprus). There are few cafes nearby + keep in mind that this is Israel and from Friday evening to Monday almost all cafes are closed (Shabbat), even in the tourist zone. But for entertainment, I recommend excursions: to Timna Park, to the Dead Sea (but prices there in shops are 1.5-3 times higher than in boutiques of products from the Dead Sea in Eilat itself), to Jerusalem. You can get to the Marine Observatory yourself, it's quite interesting. You can take a free tour to the Eilat stone factory, but the prices there are 2-3 times higher than in shopping malls in the tourist area.
The cuisine is not rich, there is little seafood, because it is a non-kosher food. But I can recommend the cafe "Bay" in the tourist area - the portions are large, as a compliment they provide a set of delicious snacks, I liked the Israeli beer, the wine is also not bad.
About the hotel: for very unassuming guests, it is more a youth option if you eat with a company. If you plan to travel with a family with children, then still look for hotels closer to the tourist area

The motel is near the bus station. The room has everything for a stop. Tea and coffee are offered in the lobby. But only from 7 o'clock in the morning . There is also a cooler with drinking water. There are many shops and snack points nearby. All rooms are on the same level. A very cozy space for relaxation has been organized. Lots of greenery.
