We just needed a room for one night in Casablanca before catching an early flight out. The hotel is not all that close to the airport - about 40 kilometers. We thought staying in the city itself instead of by the airport would be more interesting, but we were wrong. The area around the hotel is depressing. We didn't venture out.
We had many of the problems reported by others e.g., they refused to include breakfast even though the reservation said it was included. The service in our case was especially poor. About 3 hours after we checked in, I was napping on our bed when the door opened and in walked a bellman with a newly arrived guest!! After they saw me, they left and called me a few minutes later, not to apologize for barging in, but to ask me who I was and why I was in that room!!! When I finally got them to realize their mistake, they just said OK. Not SORRY! At dinner in the sushi restaurant at the hotel, our waiter messed up our entire order. He didn't get a single thing right, and in a few cases made repeated mistakes, even after we pointed out to him the specific items on the menu itself so he couldn't be confused. Then we realized that the food wasn't that good so it probably wasn't worth getting the rest of the order straightened out.
Overall, the hotel was ok for what we needed but I wouldn't recommend it except as a one night pitstop.
