“Riad Bab Merzouga, despite a location within Fes El Bali, stumbled with a guest's booking, leading to an off-site apartment stay due to overbooking. While the staff impressed with their kindness, the alternative lodging fell short on basic comforts, which raises concerns about consistency. I think future guests should confirm booking specifics directly to avoid similar issues.”
