Overall the hotel is a decent value (I paid ~US$30/night). Rooms are sizable and feature comfortable beds, modern A/C that works very well, and the cable package even has a few channels in almost all major languages (Arabic, French, English, German, Spanish). The pool is pleasantly cool and refreshing and there are plenty of small shops, cafes, restaurants, a mall, and even a cozy wine bar nearby. Only downsides are that the hotel is quite dated and dark and not climatized, so most common areas are like the lobby and breakfast area are quite warm. The breakfast is also somewhat disappointing (no fruit, no cereal of any kind), but coffee wasn't bad.
