Robert, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

Great location with lots of Middle Eastern restaurants around. The front desk was friendly but not very helpful. The welcome card mentioned pillow options, but there was no pillow menu in the room and only one firm pillow available. I got a connecting room with poor soundproofing, and the sink’s hot and cold taps were reversed—I even got scalded on the first night. The curtains weren’t fully blackout, so light sleepers beware. On the bright side, the room was very clean. Breakfast was okay, worth trying once.
The curtains weren’t fully blackout
