wonderful experience

good locationmetro stationindoor squashpoor attitude
the hotel location is good since it is close to the financial center metro station. reaching the dubai mall only takes one stop. plenty of eateries like starbucks are nearby and i noticed they operate 24 hours. the gym had the equipment i needed and i found an indoor squash court next to the pool area.
during my stay, staff attitude upon arrival was poor and the receptionist seemed unfriendly. the room cleanliness was below what i expected for this type hotel. i was surprised that there was no coffee machine available inside room.
