My husband and I did a road trip from Doha, Qatar, through Saudi and stopped in Mirfa where we stayed at the Mirfa hotel. After a 5 hour drive, it was a great stopping point. The rooms are quite large and are clean and they have a great selection of satellite TV - about 8 English stations. The grounds are beautifully kept - large lawns and lots of greenery. The hotel sticks out a bit into the gulf and there is a lovely walkway along the sea. Meals are all buffet style - nothing spectacular, but tasty enough with plenty for vegetarians. The pool area is nice - again clean and well kept. The staff are gracious and helpful. The gift shop is quite comical - full of really tacky things one would find at a local "souk" but there are computers with internet access that is free to guests. There is a bar and they do serve alcohol in the restaurant and for room service. This isn't a glitzy place, but it's really quite nice and if you know how expensive even dives can be in the UAE, you'll realize it's quite a great deal. We wouldn't go out of our way to stay here - as it is out of our way, but if we road trip it again or ever move to Dubai or Abu Dhabi, it's a great little getaway.
