Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is located in a VIP residential area, which is okay for access to certain parts of Al Khobar for business purposes. However, it's not the most convenient for walking around the city, and it's relatively far from the sea and shopping areas. The hotel facilities, apart from the food, were not to my liking. The service was hit or miss, with an unhelpful apology from someone who may not have been the manager. The dining options were overpriced, especially considering the lackluster experience at the executive lounge. On the bright side, the hotel is close to the familiar Al Khobar area I know.
