mixed feelings about this hotel

the breakfast had several options in the morning. it leaned more toward eastern cuisine than western.
i found the transportation to the haram very difficult. it also took a long time to reach the mosque, and the room service was uncooperative.

the room offered a perfect size with super comfortable beds. a convenient parking space was available easing my travel. breakfast was so good presenting varied options. some useful shops exist on the ground floor for essential needs or spontaneous purchases.
