I stayed there one night. I have a booked reservation from SPG website. arrived at front desk and the local guy who work could not find my reservation on the syste. few phone calls have to be made and finnaly was given an alternate room.
I was a member of SPF so I should have gotten the 17th floor and a room with HARAM VIEW and a non smoking room.
Instead I end up on 16th flor. no view and a smoking room. It was a total mess that I just want to get a room. My purpose was for religion purposes so I did not care much.
But the entire local staff and their manager need a lot of training on dealing with guests. the hotel is a bit old. but it is clean and the breakfast buffet has a lot of selection. Service wise is good. So my advise is just don't relay on online reservation. make sure you call ahead and write down the name of the person and when you talk to them and make sure to confirm your room selection. and you may still have to show up and your reservation is not on their system.also even if you have a haram view there is a huge tower that was built so the view is almost non existent.
on the good side. it is 3mn walk to Harram
