Room was nice big and clean. Bathroom was very small and very poorly designed. Faucet in the sink was leaking and not repaired. Shower door was also leaking and a small bathroom area got flooded every time we showered. Breakfast was good. You have to take Taxi for wherever you want to go. Nothing is walkable.

Business Bay experience

Convenient, but very noisy area. Outside and in - I had two different rooms and in each one, my neighbors had a late night and I got to hear all of it. Staff is super-friendly and very helpful. Restaurant buffet is very decent and the place is quite nice. Previous occupants hair all over the shower in the first room, that wasn’t removed after the first cleaning, which I found a bit shocking.

Property has nice view and rooms are clean. For a large family, getting rooms on a single level might be a struggle and also moving across rooms if not on same floor is a struggle. Alley leading to rooms has a carpets that smell musty. Restaurants are good and enjoyable. Overall, it’s a nice hotel with some quirks.
