Palais Shéhérazade & Spa in Fes

The Palais Sheherazade & Spa is a wonderful place to lodge. The limited staff was hands on taking care of everything from handling my luggage to showing us the property. Breakfast was included and was top-notch. The Palais IS WALKING distance to the Medina. We walked there and walked back. Walking was a shorter distance than taking a taxi because you can walk where the taxi cannot drive. The room was very clean, the bathroom was very clean, and every part of the hotel we saw was very clean. With the limited staff and the fact we traveled in January when the temperature was in the low 40s at night and high 40s during make it difficult for hot water to be available. Additionally, when we arrived to our room no heat was on and it took a day for the temperature in the room to reach 60 degrees. I was able to acquire an electric radiator space heater which helped in the bathroom. Without the space heater I would have only staff at the Palais one night. I would rate this hotel 5-stars if it had working hot water and heat. By the way, in 2012 this hotel received a Star Diamond Award from the American Academy of Hospitality Sciences that reads "The American Academy of Hospitality Sciences unanimously agree that this establishment consistently maintains the overall standards of high quality and superb performance necessary to designate it as One of the Finest in its Category and Classification." Because trumps name is on this, that why there was not heat or hot water.
