The staff demonstrated really good customer service. I found the concierge service particularly attentive. The welcome fruit and date basket in the room created a warm feeling. A late checkout was granted, which accommodated my late evening flight home.
I noticed the windows lacked sufficient soundproofing, as external noises were audible.

the location was acceptable, specifically its closeness to the mosque was decent.
My room situation had its issues. first, the ac seemed to have a mind of its own and kept cycling on and off. second, the promised room service was more of a ghost story than a reality. I swear, i pressed that button more times than i blinked, with no results to show for it.
