IC Festival City
Our stay was truly awful without any Spire Ambassador recognition. No upgrade of room. The hotel looks new and modern but the room had a ton of problems with multiple things faulty. The pool was nothing like the photos and there was nowhere to sit! The area also very disconnected from everything. If you must stay at the area why not the Crowne plaza that shares all IC facilities but it's half the price?
I had a very different experience at InterContinental Dubai Festival City.
On both paid stay or on points (used as a day use for late flight), I was upgraded to
suite and
Club room, with club access.
Both of them were just perfect and I like very much the lounge as the pool area.
Very close to the superb Jameel Arts Centre, with excellent art exhibitions.
Staybridge financial center
No Spire recognition and no welcome drinks given. Room upgrade is higher floor and not true upgrade as other Stalybridge I stayed. Breakfast was a zoo. Hotel way too noisy for sleep (internally) but very well connected near the metro and in the centre of everything really.
I enjoyed very much my
stay at this property: very convienent location, very friendly staff, very good breakfast and nice rooms. The view from high floor was really great.
The superb Atelier Robuchon (gastronomic experience at a very abordable price considering the high quality of the food and experience) is only 15 minutes walk from the hotel.
