The location is amazing its very close to the Haram. I liked being connected with the mall because it has restaurants. The staff were friendly and nice to me. I used the barbershop and was happy to find it in the hotel.

The hotel is very close to the haram. The clock tower shopping center is attached, so getting food was easy. I appreciated that the hotel is ideal for families.
The room service was not good. The rooms seemed pretty small. I believe the price was very high for what was offered.
