The hotel would have received a 5/5 if they had acknowledged or offered anything for the Expedia VIP. Also, closing a pool at 8pm but the pool bar being open to midnight doesn't make sense. With all the heat, it would be nice to have a dunk in the pool a bit later than 8pm. It is Dubai, so how rare is it that you're back in your hotel by 7pm? The bed was comfortable as were the pillows. Staff were very nice and helpful. Oddly, I didn't seem to have cold water in my room. Odd request, I know, but if you've been to Dubai already you know why. No refreshing, cooling shower to be had. Otherwise a great stay for a good price. I didn't take the breakfast option as even though they say they have 'gluten friendly' options, there was nothing really gluten free. The hotel was very close to the Burj and the Dubai mall. I'm not sure how you'd walk it as it is across a freeway but there must be a way. I didn't try because it was 100 degrees daily. Things in my room needed a bit of updating (broken kettle, a few things needing replacing) but otherwise a fine place to stay.
