Our stay at the hotel was very good, the staff was very friendly and the hotel was very clean, and close to a shopping center and different places to eat. Since it was our first time in Dubai we didn't know where we were exactly. If you are looking for a beach vacation, thats close to beaches or any of the hotels in Jumeriah where you can go for drinks, then this is not the place to stay. I would recommend this hotel for business, but not for families with young children or with beach lounging in mind. But other than that its a great place to stay.
