Royal Mansour Casablanca

The location was good: 2 blocks from the Place des Nations Unies tram stop and 2 blocks from Gare de Casa Port train station. Hotel is 20 years behind the spiffy Sofitel/Novotel hotels a block away and the Grand Hyatt 3 blocks away is where all the business people stay. The Royal Mansour looks run down and is more middle market than a Le Meridien property. The hotel was supposed to be smoke free but there was an ashtray in the room. I also smelled the body odor of the last guest in the bed linens and pillows. I sat in the lobby hoping for a cold beer after a long hot day, but ended up having to go up to the bar to get a drink. ,Hotel is 20 years behind the spiffy Sofitel/Novotel hotels a block away and the Grand Hyatt 3 blocks away is where all the business people stay.
