We really enjoyed this unique hotel. If you are one who needs everything to be perfect and like a 5 star hotel, you will not be happy here. If you are someone who enjoys trying something different, and you probably are if you are looking at the reviews of this hotel already, you will absolutely enjoy your stay here. The name says it all: Heritage Inn. Perfect! It is only about a 1/2 block walk from the Nizwa Fort. It is right down the street from the Souk. It is a perfect location with which to feel a part of "Nizwa Night Life". By this, I mean as you walk to your restaurant at night, you will have the opportunity to see all of the young adults riding their mopeds and scooters up and down the alleys and having quick chats with each other as they speed by.

The air conditioning worked very well and we were there when it was really, really hot outside, so no problems with that.||Be sure and look for the swimming pool! It is on the side of the parking lot and, even though the receptionist told us about it when we arrived, we promptly forgot until we heard splashing one night. We almost fell over when we saw this sparkling pool with lovely smelling jasmine all around. The atmosphere is stunning by the old buildings surrounding it. You will be so glad you searched it out. We were the only ones swimming both nights. A treat in the summertime.||Not as crazy about the breakfast, but they did have yummy, fresh cut melons everyday so we appreciated that and you could take as many bottles of water as you pleased.||Overall, a very good choice for location and unique...
