Fes Marriott Hotel Jnan Palace

This was the only hotel on our Morocco trip where the pool was open until 7:30 PM, which was great for the kids. However, it was extremely crowded, I suspect they open it to non-guests for a fee. There's a supermarket about a ten-minute walk away, which was handy for stocking up on supplies. The hotel grounds are like a garden, and the staff were reasonably friendly, but I felt like I was being watched everywhere I went. On the plus side, the room facilities were quite comprehensive, and the small balcony was perfect for drying swimsuits overnight. You can also boil water for tea.

Facilities: Well-equipped Cleanliness: Tidy Ambiance: Comfortable Service: Satisfactory

This Marriott is really old. The facilities are very dated, and the heating system for the air conditioning is poor. The room has that smell of old things. The bedding is decent, and the cleanliness is okay. However, paying 1700 [currency] for the oldest Marriott is really not worth it; you'd be better off staying at some newly renovated budget hotels. The staff are all very enthusiastic, but they don't offer assistance with booking taxis within the hotel. You have to walk out of the entire complex yourself, which is very inconvenient. The bar at night is good, and the drinks are well-made. Breakfast has enough variety; I guess it's considered top-tier for Morocco. I can't give it a high rating, but it's better than staying in a guesthouse. The pool looks genuinely luxurious and is very photogenic. It would probably be very comfortable for swimming in the summer.
