Acclimating my daughter in Murcia

I haven't been to Spain in over 20 years, a country I knew very well & still love! I realize Rick Steves travel bends slightly differently, so perhaps this might be a long shot - our daughter is moving to a smaller coastal town, Aguilas, in Murcia. She's (asst) teaching English in a middle school. I want to stay in the capital, Murcia, before we make our way to the coast, does anyone have any hotel recommendations for a mid-size budget that is centrally located? Any must see or do options in the city?

I know almost every coastal area decently and lived in Valencia & Alicante, but have no history w/ Murcia's coast. Any suggestions for other coastal must-see or does?

Thank you

Cartagena is a lovely small city with a Roman amphitheatre overlooking the sea. About 30 miles from Murcia city.
Also Spanish navy submarine base!

Thanks to everyone who's posted here. Our next stop is Murcia, a city I've never visited and know little about. Your insights are very helpful! I suspect we'll spend a day at the coast and a couple of days wandering around Murcia.
