excellent stay in a beautiful riad

quiet room nicely appointed traditional bread fantastic coffee
I stayed in the presidential suite and found it quiet. The room was also nicely appointed. Breakfast was a simple affair but included traditional breads. The coffee IS fantastic. I also enjoyed the terrace. It was lovely.
I found only a SLIGHT issue with the lack of readily available outlets. They switched off when the lights were off.
