The bathtub is worn out, baby crib for 25 riyals, no sound insulation at all, the sounds from the hallway and outside cars are clear and prevent sleep and disrupt privacy
Rizwan received me at check-in and gave a very warm welcome and quick check-in. Overall, all the staff from the reception area to the breakfast buffet at the restaurant were extremely welcoming and attentive to my requests. Also, the rooms are spacious and very clean!
