My stay at El Fenn was a good experience overall. The beautiful rooftop views and charming decor made me feel at home, yet some minor service issues kept it from being perfect. The dining options were fantastic, though some areas could use improvement for flow during breakfast. Still, I'd recommend this boutique hotel for its unique atmosphere and calming retreat from the bustling souks. 🌆❤️
