I was able to check in early which I really appreciated after a long flight. The staff were friendly enough and answered all my questions to my satisfaction. There is a nightclub in the hotel and plenty of places to eat and drink either here or in the vicinity.
Got more or less what we expected for the price and it was conveniently situated for what we wanted to do.
Not the best hotel I have ever stayed in, but certainly not the worst. I guess the room was fairly basic, but it was clean and comfortable and at least everything worked. The location was ideal for my purposes and the staff who dealt with me were quite knowledgeable and helpful.
I read some negative reviews before staying here, but decided to see for myself. I found the room to be perfectly suitable and generally speaking the staff were quite polite and as helpful as possible. The only thing that went wrong for me was that my taxi to the airport was late, but I can't really blame the hotel for that, and I got there in the end.
This is a good practical choice if you want to be near some good shopping places and not too far from the Creek. The room was spacious, clean, and had everything I needed eg. internet access. You can away from it all on the roof where there is a fitness centre and pool and the price is quite competitive by Dubai standards.
