The service was top-notch, especially with housekeeping and laundry. The location is fantastic, near key attractions like the City Mosque, library, and court, and surrounded by great dining options. The dining experience, although delivered to the room, was not to my taste. The facilities were great, offering everything I needed during my stay.
