Balanced experience at the riad
built courtyard quality stay easy exploration weak signal double payment uncomfortable situation
The building has a wonderfully built courtyard with potted plants. The staff were attentive and easily maintained a quality visit.
The wifi signal was weak in the bedroom. The manager asked me to pay again even though I had already paid. This uncomfortable situation almost caused me to miss my bus.

The building had historical aspects that were quite beautiful. The bed was nice and neat.. The breakfast was adequate.
Some staff did not greet me when I said hello. I noticed absurd looks directed at my family and me.
