We were attracted to the Palais de Fes after reading a gushing article in Forbes Magazine and assumed that the premium rate would be a promise of excellent hospitality. ||The first worrying sign was when we emailed en route asking if the hotel has parking, to get a vague and not-very-helpful one line response: ‘there is parking available near our hotel’.

It will be nice to have trash cans in the living rooms Overall...
