the free valet parking was helpful. the shuttle to the city center was also very convenient. our room had a balcony. it offered a distant view of the pool.
the room decor looked tired. i also noticed i wasn't given a map showing local sites. one waitress wasn't helpful at all. she seemed uninterested in assisting with vegetarian options.

I was greeted with such warmth! the free shuttle to the city center was super convenient. It saved so much time. breakfast included so many options. I especially loved the jordanian specialties. the staff offered helpful tips on local restaurants. They really cared about my experience.
the bar drinks did seem a tad expensive, so i ventured out a bit more.
