Hotels and alternatives
Hotels in Meknes cover all scales from simple to exclusive. Prices are realistic for all classes. Note that Meknes has a higher number of hotels that rent rooms on hour basis, in cooperation with nearby night clubs. My last time in Meknes I stayed in such an hotel, but the only thing I felt like complaining about, was the total lack of hot water.
Hotels in the old town, normally only cover the lower scales — good hotels are located in the new town.

Restaurants and alternatives
Meknes' restaurants are better and more numerous than the population of the city would indicate. In the old town, a couple of restaurants claiming to be "the best in Morocco" are found. These are really good, even if they might not be the best in the country after all.
The new town has more restaurants, which cover all scales and price levels, with the exception of the most expensive.

Activities
A couple of swimming pools are open to public, and not expensive.
Meknes has a number of great religious festivals (which can be visited by non-Muslims), which take place in fall every year.

Nightlife
Meknes has a small number of bars, as well as larger number of night clubs that really serve as brothels, often in cooperation with nearby hotels. There is little to expect of typical Western nightlife.

Change Money
Meknes has all necessary banks for changing money, and some of the larger hotels are ready to serve you to.

Transportation
Good connections with buses, taxis and trains. Train station is in the eastern half, and so is one of the two bus stations. The other bus station and the taxi station is in the western half. The distance between the two centres for travelling, is as much as 2,5 km. Connections to Moulay Idriss and Volubilis are on the western side.
