This room was ok. I won’t say it was bad, but I won’t say it was great. It was comfortable and clean. We had room #6 on the third floor. It was pink and had a closet and another larger closet with a sink, toilet and shower. The shower had plenty of hot water and the sink and toilet worked and were mostly clean. The room opens up on a small courtyard where several other rooms open. With the window and curtains open you haven’t got much for privacy, but it was fine.

We stayed there two nights. The front desk staff was pleasant and helpful and spoke a bit of English. We had no issues. If you get a room without a bath, you have to use the common bath which looked cold and dank and a bit prison-showerish. But some people are into that. The room with a bath was cheep enough and was a damn sight better than our worst hotel experience in Morocco.

I stayed at this hotel in the fall of 1973 and found that rue Foucauld was a major foot traffic area for prostitutes. There were no hassles, but it was a bit of a shock. A month ago, when we hit Casa on a cruise ship, I tried to find the place to prove to my wife my decadent youth. Didn’t realize the streets had been renamed. So Hotel Foucauld remains a myth in the family.
Woah. We didn’t see any prostitutes. Though it was our first night in Morocco, so we might have missed them. The area seemed pretty mellow. No hassles.
