Location and money wise it is good and staffs were nice. But room is not what we were expecting to have. AC is not cooling, TV shows are all arabic (does not have any channels other than that) they should also consider other nationalities. My daughter was also creeped out as she keeps seeing unknown entity (Mama, someone is looking at us), no kettle or refreshments too.

inhospitable staff & old, dirty rooms”

1.  Bad check-in experience and a disorganized lobby. 2. In spite of my request for a room on a higher floor, I was assigned to the second floor, directly above a nightclub whose music could be heard clearly through the floor above me. 3. The room reeked to high heaven, and the carpet looked like it hadn't been cleaned in decades. 4. Because there weren't any towels in the room, I had to ask for them twice within 30 minutes. 5. The television was completely broken. Unfortunately, when I called the front desk to inquire about it, no one seemed to care. 6. I spent the whole night scratching my irritated skin because the sheets were filthy. 7. Shockingly, the duty manager's lack of professionalism and the staff's inability to properly address me as a guest both left me feeling unwelcome. Someone even said "hey!" to me during check out. The hotel staff, including the duty manager, is far too haughty to be in the hospitality business.
