Hi

Excellent report kilo

I just have an end corridor room on the 4th floor but has its balcony facing the burj ( dark at night apart from the top and bottom that look purple from here ( the atlantis on the other hand is all lit up)
turn down service was provided with 2 bedside chocolates.
shower has a small bench

bedside sockets are only uae uk style
us style socket and USB port by desk.

the walkway from the hotel to the pools ( closed at night ) is beautiful.all lit up
here it definitely feels more humid than downtown even st night ( a short walk round the pools and I was sweating) and when I open the balcony door to take photos with my dslr the filter lenses steam up instantly a la singapore
I do like the WA logo on the bed covers and the separate baggage storage area and hanging space on its own room off the entrance hallway
bathroom has a glass window between it and the bedroom ( electrical blind also for privacy) and the eindiw pattern is interesting.

The sofa ( converts to a pullout bed) is a little hard to sit on.
curtains are manually controlled
regards
Gym on the ground floor is large and well appointed with water but no wet cold towels like the conrad.
came upstairs from the gym and no lights were working apart from the TV and balcony so had to call reception to send am engineer then all of a sudden the lights came on by themselves.

aftet showering ( nice bathrobes) I opened the balcony doors to hang my gym kit out to dry and the haze has cleared and I could see the burk Khalifa and the lit top of the geovora(sp?) In the distance


Regards
Tbs
