Casablanca, a flea pit hotel

Oued Dahab, that's the name of the hotel. It is run by the same people that also own the Guynemer, a hotel just one block away which is a 3 star hotel and always full. They sent a car to pick us up at the airport, costs us 250 dirhams for that service. The room rate was 220 dirhams for the 2 of us (about US$26). It had mosquitoes and we were bitten. This was the only sad place that we stayed in but the rest were much better. Places like this always have vacancies because no one in their right mind stays here, maybe some locals. Most travelers stay in 3 star hotels and these are always full and reservations are recommended.
Just keep an open mind, follow this blog, before you know it, you'll be planning and executing your own adventure to Morocco. If you don't mind these conditions, Morocco is very cheap. Room rates are the highest in Marrakech but Marrakech is the 'piece de resistance'.
