“short stay option”

We had two short stop-overs in Dubai and this came up because of proximity to the airport, hotel rating and rates. the first was a single night stay and we were upgraded to a two-roomed suite that stank of cigarette smoke. On our return, the request for a non-smoking room had us in a standard suite with creek views. It's ok but only had the basics for a 4-ish star rating. Internet worked well, room service was ok, the restaurant very average. Staff were mostly friendly and worked hard for tips (how do you get a porter out of your room??). We'd be looking for an alternative IF doing a stop-over in Dubai again...
