I don't know why but I decided to stay in this part of Dubai instead of the more touristy Jumeirah/Marina/Palm area but I'm glad I did because at the rate I got with breakfast included, I was pretty pleased. We spent 4 nights here. We had a car but the subway station was only a 10 minute walk away.
Pros: Free valet parking, free internet in public areas, good breakfast buffet, room cleanliness, great staff.
Cons: Location is not easy to find (Dubai in general is tough to drive in), no free Internet in the rooms.
At the right price, I would recommend it.
