“From what I've gathered, this property aims for an upscale experience with its blend of modern design and Arabian touches; the rooftop bar and diverse dining options seem like definite highlights. However, reports of inconsistent room quality and noise issues give me pause. For a prime downtown location, a more reliable stay should be expected.”

i found the staff were so kind! they assisted with baggage and provided quick check-in. the rooftop pool area was a treat with city views and comfortable loungers. i used the gym, and it had updated equipment like treadmills and weights, so i liked that.

i noticed very minor wear and tear on some furniture, but it didn't impact my overall enjoyment.

chemical smell ancient furniture

the tv was quite large, i suppose.

The room smelled heavily of chemicals. I guess they were trying to mask something worse. the wardrobe light wouldn't turn off, a beacon shining all night. the furniture looked ancient. the pool area resembled a forgotten relic.
