The hotel has a good location near the metro. The walk to Dubai Mall and Burj Khalifa was convenient. Breakfast offered many options, including Western, Indian, and Arabic dishes. The selection was excellent!!!
I found a few areas needed attention. The service felt a bit lacking for a hotel of this class. I had to ask for the body wash to be refilled in the shower.
