We stayed here as part of a meeting taking place in the Palais des Congress next door. In that regard, the location was good, but it is a long walk from the Medina and any other more interesting locale. It is kinda of a pain taking taxis because you have to negotiate the cost with the driver before you ride, they never use meters, and of course you are being overcharged; it adds to the constant bargaining that goes on and, for me, loses its charm after awhile.
The hotel bills itself as 5-star, I don't know what standard would qualify that; certainly not any measure I am aware of. The hotel is spread over lovely grounds and, from the outside is appealing. But, the interior and rooms are in need of major spiffing up. Dirty carpets, stained bathroom marble floors and counters, peeling paint, stained walls, rotting cabinets. All seemed somewhat seedy, tired, and un-clean.
On a positive note, the food was surprisingly good. Good breakfast buffet and excellent dinner in the Moroccan restaurant. Free wifi is available in the lobby, otherwise you have to pay for a timed card for use in your room or other area.
