On the advice of a Peace Corps Volunteer we stayed at the Riad R'Cief in Fez.
Riad's are something like a Bed and Breakfast. They are houses converted for overnight guests, serving a breakfast. Some can be like palaces. We lucked out and got a palace.
It is hard to describe what this riad is like, except it is like living in a museum. It has been completely restored. Everywhere you look are elaborate tiles and detailed woodwork. The center courtyard extends three floors as an atrium. It is even air-conditioned and situated in the middle of the medina, old city of Fez.
