i thought as a girl on my own probably best not to wander around a brand new city!
Dubai is mostly fine to wander around in but at that time, probably not at all interesting. Unless you're coming during Ramadan when things are open later...

Is that the Holiday Inn Express Dubai Airport? If so the website 21 day advance rate is about 50 quid.

It shouldn't take two hours to get out if your luggage is checked through, though at that time immigration queues can be a bit long.
