“This long-established hotel, a fixture since 1979, strikes me as a blend of tradition and contemporary convenience. Its location on Sheikh Zayed Road promises easy access to the city, including the Dubai Metro. I'm particularly drawn to the rooftop pool, which seems to offer great views, though I did note one report of potential noise issues between rooms.”

adequate stay with issues

friendly staffsmoking pubno extraction
the reception staff were friendly and efficient (i found that helpful).
The red lion pub was a letdown because it permits smoking. there was no designated non-smoking area and no extraction system in place. the air conditioning recirculated the smoke. This made it difficult to breathe, particularly when football games were on, it also affected the food.
