Les Merinides sits on a hill looking over the medina(old city). Worth it to get a medina view and balcony as I had. But even if you don't there is a large terrace you can lounge on to enjoy the view.
The staff was wonderful as was the dining.
The hotel itself is old and therefore a bit dated, with some peeling paint and slow plumbing, but this did not detract from my stay.
It was too cold to swim but the pool was inviting and the lounge chairs were great for reading.
Also its a short drive or slightly longer walk to the medina, so nicely located.
Just a note for coffee and tea lovers-none in the room.
I would stay here again.
