Reviews and Ratings
I absolutely loved the hotel! The rooms were so cozy, the service was top-notch, and the location was just perfect. However, the dining options left a bit to be desired. The facilities were great, though, and the price was definitely worth it.
The hotel is nestled in a quirky neighborhood, surrounded by single-family residential homes, offering well-maintained facilities and a quiet, off-the-beaten-path location. The rooms, although a bit dark, overlook a pool fed by a natural hot spring and provide plenty of lounging options. The service is impeccable with friendly and warm staff who transport you to Morocco with their decor. The dining, while offering a simple breakfast, includes delightful local jams. A unique stay that might not appeal to everyone due to its run-down surroundings.
Staying at the hotel was a mixed experience. While the rooms had an odd smell and a consistent drip sound that was slightly bothersome, the owner seems aware of the issue but hasn't fixed it yet. However, the service was top-notch, with the staff leaving guests fully stocked with various drinks and offering access to the pool, spa, and a beautiful backyard garden. The location, although in a residential area and not the most attractive, is close to Joshua Tree National Park for hiking. The dining experience was surprisingly good, offering a variety of quality breakfast items including French press coffee and halal products.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were really clean, but a bit loud and cold with the air conditioning on. However, they did have a nice TV room. The service was superb with very friendly staff and an array of amenities like mint lemonade, tea, and brandy available all night. The location was beautiful and offered great relaxation spots, but the dining options in the local community were only mediocre. The facilities were top-notch, making the stay enjoyable overall.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of highs and lows. The rooms had a unique smell that added character but may not suit everyone. On the plus side, the room was spacious, cozy, and adorned with lovely details. The small refrigerator was a convenient touch. Service was exceptional, with a happy and friendly vibe throughout, and the staff went above and beyond to make guests feel welcome. The location, although off the beaten path, was clean and quiet, but the surrounding area felt a bit sketchy. Dining was a highlight with a delicious and varied breakfast spread. Overall, a memorable stay with a few quirks to consider.
Staying at this hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms vary from one to another, with a round bed tucked in a small bedroom, giving a cozy feel. The service, especially the attention to detail by the evening hostess during happy hour, was outstanding, making me feel like I had traveled to Morocco. However, the location was a bit off the beaten path, surrounded by residential homes, which made it feel isolated. The dining experience was good with a variety of options, although not very elaborate.
