My stay at Riad 144 was truly really good. The riad was beautifully designed, and the staff's service was excellent-always going above and beyond to ensure I felt comfortable. The only downside was that the surrounding area seemed a bit run-down initially, but I quickly realized it was a safe and charming part of Marrakech. Overall, my experience was lovely and I can't wait to return!
