Don't think I'd be interested in heading all the way up to the West Bay area if we're just staying for one night. I haven't stayed at too many fancy hotels so I think even a dated Sharq I'd be impressed with. Looking to get some additional feedback from you all.

Distances are not great in Doha so I would not have that as a determining factor. The former Shangri-La is now a Marriott. The Shangri-La was my favorite hotel there, so I would highly recommend it.
