Really good Hotel Stay

convenient location spacious room breakfast buffet

I was impressed by the hotel's convenient location. My assigned superior king room city view was spacious. The breakfast buffet featured a diverse selection of high-quality items. I appreciate the attentive staff.

I found the air conditioning in the jazz & fizz bar too strong and with indoor smoking , made the experience uncomfortable.

Dining

The Corniche Restaurant provided an all-day dining buffet, from breakfast to dinner, with a wide array of dishes. The restaurant featured different international cuisines each night (I was impressed!). Despite its large size, the restaurant felt relatively cozy.

Yasmin was a GREAT receptionist. She had a nice smile. She was very helpful. The location was great. The facilities were amazing. There were many restaurants, and there was even a mini supermarket.

The BED was BAD. The help desk had no idea about restaurants nearby and gave me wrong information. I had to search myself. Valet parking kept moving my car without my knowledge, I saw them from my window!
