It was very clean, and the staff was extremely helpful--both Manu the bell hop and Tsideh the reception clerk were most helpful. The reception staff person helped me out, above the call of duty, to locate my cyber airline confirmation and print it out.
Since my time in Dubai was so limited--less than 40 hours, I wasn't able to use the amenities like the pool. I would try to make time for that next time.
The breakfast buffet was very good, and reasonably priced.
