The Coningsby Inn in Belize city was a great budget palce to stay. The rooms were large and quiet, the staff - and even their families - went out of their way to make us feel at home. The neighborhood is relatively safe, but afterall this is Belize city . However the hotel itself is very safety aware - you will feel safe here. Food was average, I recommend eating out - but if you are strapped- its always nice to be able to get some food right where you are staying.
