Acceptable but Some Issues

terrace pool same room rates
The location was close to the Souks.
The rooftop terrace pool was out of service. I was not informed about this beforehand, and the room rates remained the same. This was disappointing, especially as a pool would have been a nice amenity (I had hoped to relax after a long day).
