Dear Readers and Replyers:

Allow me to thank those of you who found my personal review of the two mentioned hotels informative and/or thought provoking.

As for those comments which I deem haughty or snobbish, I draw three conclusions:
1) Thank God, the U.S. Constitution prohibits the use of titles of class or social positon.
2) Since retiring from a sucessful professional career, my travel report posting is based upon a desire to share knowlege not a need for self promotion or adulation.
3) In the future, I will think twice before wasting my time by posting experiences of the "good, bad and ugly" in travel.

Respectfully,
Hon. JohnE, Esq.

PS. In specific answers to several questions regarding N'Fis:
(1) I do not know about parking on a first hand basis but I did see autos truned over to door staff.
(2) Dining:
(A) Hotel: each morning, breakfast was excellent, as was dinnner on the one night we dined in the hotel.
(B) Restaurants: We found an excellent "Haute Moroccan Cusine" restaurant for a romantic dinner in the Medina: "Stylia" 34 Rue Ksour.
(3) the hotel is a fifteen minute walk or 3 minute taxi ride (15-20 Dhm) to the Medina (old walled city). However, since Marrakesh is Moroc's largest cosmopolitan city, you should also visit the "New City."
(4) The concierge was most helpful on several occasions. Use a guide to find your way through the Medina labyrinth of Souks (shops). Ours was most helpful in the purchase of a "Jalaba" (traditional heavy pullover Caftan worn as an outer garment) for my wife and me.
(5) I don't understand or agree with negative comments about these items:
(A) Noisy Rooms: Rooms are located in a seperate building from the lobby, reception, bar & restaurant building. The two buildings surround an open air Andulusian Garden with a magnificent reflecting pool. There was no street noise and I didn't hear anyone in the next room through "paper thin walls". (Perhaps that only happens on Axe Murder nights). However, do ask for a ground floor room along side the reflecting pool. That way you will have a semi-private patio in the garden.
(B) Uncomfortable Beds: We had a king bed which was firm and well made with proper turn down service. There was unused space in the min-bar, so it could be used as a self service fridge.
(C) Disappointing Room Decor: The decor was in very bright colors, ala Andulusia, with matching drapes accross the full width patio door which opened onto the semi-private veranda. Besides the usual desk and drawers, there were table and chairs both inside and on the patio.
