I appreciated that the staff were amazing. they picked me up from the taxi drop off and were available 24/7 for anything i needed. the customer service was world class. That really set the tone for my stay.
the access to parking was impractical. there was a daily market , made it difficult to get to the riad by car. i would consider an alternative transportation option.
