The Sheraton Riyadh is an older hotel - here are my impressions and photos:

Pros:
  • Upgraded to a Junior Suite (the only higher thing available online was a Two Bedroom Villa, which I wouldn’t expect an upgrade to)
  • Bed was comfortable - medium mattress, plush covers for climate, plush pillows
  • Shower pressure was fine and temperature control was stable
  • Large desk
  • No issue with late checkout
  • Walkable to STC metro station

Neutral:
  • Lounge was 6th floor elevator lobby - chocolate pudding was decent - but offering was not as extensive as Marriott
  • Only option was restaurant breakfast (they told me this was included) - food was okay, but nothing was great - machine coffee was fine

Cons:
  • Several “Ministry of Tourism - Notice to Evacuate” signs (but unclear why and when) - made me nervous - kind of ominous - property seemed to have a quiet vibe
