The lobby was very nice and spacious, with a nice coffee shop connected to it. Staff was friendly and helpful. I got a “city view” room, because many hotels I have stayed at in Saudi Arabia have “wall view”, the windows only open to a wall on the other side. So, I was excited to actually have a city view. I opened the curtains, and the city view window was blocked by a big piece of metal that they had installed over the exterior of the window. It would have been a great view, but for some reason the “city view” rooms have the windows blocked from the outside.
