Bryan, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

I love this hotel. I like the service and the location but the price for one night was over 400 dirhams which is too expensive for me. I booked it without thinking it through and have decided unfortunately that I won’t stay here again if the price remains constant.

4/10 Fair

The hotel is clean and has helpful staff for the most part. Breakfast was varied and delicious, especially the fresh juices. Some items were not fresh however. The bed sheets were very rough and in desperate need of replacing.
