Places to Stay in Lattakia
Lattakia
A convenient spot from which to visit Ugarit and Qala'at Salahdin, but if you're looking for a beach holiday you may be in the wrong country. There are plenty of places to get western coffee, however, so buffer your caffeine levels here. It's also interesting due to the large Christian population, so there's less of the hijab on show here; although, many Syrian women seem to take things too far in the opposite direction!

Cheap and acceptable, if you can make them admit that they have rooms with shared bathroom downstairs - they may only want to show you the upstairs rooms with attached bathroom.
The biggest drawback is one of the staff, who you'll find you rapidly develop a desire to beat over the head.
