Adequate stay in Medina

airport drop-off helpful staff convenient location rooftop breakfast small room lingering smell dampness problem
The staff coordinated travel guides. They also arranged airport drop-off for me. The location is great and allows simple walks to many attractions. I ate breakfast on the roof (the views were really nice).
The room was small. It also felt dark throughout my stay. A damp smell lingered in the room for several days. I read reviews regarding the smell before arriving.

The breakfast was delicious. Freshly squeezed orange juice WAS my favorite part.
I experienced some issues with the room. The lighting was TERRIBLE, all white direct lights. The room would have benefitted from soft, warm and relaxing lights. when it rained, a metal cover activated and darkened the entire structure.

harsh lighting metal cover
The lighting in the room was harsh. All direct white lights. it felt out of sync with the usual riad aesthetic which tends toward soft, warm, and relaxing lighting. also, when it rained, a metal cover activated. it darkened the entire structure. i think a transparent material would have been better (just a thought!).
