totally amazing stay. wow!
easy access affordable food indoor squash great views
I loved how easy it was to get around! public transit was super close, and i found tons of cheap food places. i also really appreciated the well-equipped gym. It has everything for a good workout. an indoor squash court. the indoor pool on level 42 is a must-see. the views of burj khalifa from up there were insane!
the only minor thing was that the minibar fridge in my room was empty when i arrived, which i thought was a bit odd. everything else was perfect though!
