Truly Spa

Immediate amazing first impression. Walking in you smell the wonderful spa essential oils, front desk is so nice, cute little tour of all the amenities. They have spa like music near the 24 hour pool. The decor is so beautiful. Great spots to lounge and relax. I can’t think of one bad thing, can’t wait to come back!

Staff was extremely helpful. We were allowed to check in a bit early. We were greeted with kindness and a smile. Hot tub area was a bit loud when a few guests joined
 we wanted to relax in quiet area, but weren’t able due to their very loud conversations.

Moroccan theme is well done in the rooms and around the property. Enjoyed the 2 good size pools, one outside, one enclosed hot pool. The hot mineral spring pools are the main reason we stayed here. Breakfast provided was satisfying and convenient. It’s a gem in a city that’s had better days.

The inn is a fabulous place to stay. this was our third time staying at the location and it never disappoints. The hot springs and saunas are amazing and a real treat, The staff is quite friendly, there's available tea at all hours, water and lemonade is available for all. As a bonus, the film CASABLANCA is playing around the clock! clean, luxurious, and a trip to appreciate!
