Dubai, Festival City

Were you (or for multi-stayers are you generally) happy with the hotel/stay?
YES

Which room did you book and which upgrade did you receive?
1 King Superior, received 1 KING SUITE (DELUXE OR SUPERIOR ? 27th floor HUGE)

How are the rooms?
Amazing room. Huge living room, Huge walk in closet. Amazing bathroom facilities.

How is the exec. lounge?
No access

Good:-
-Polite staff, great room, no arguing about my status. Arrival gift of fruit and a rather nice pen.


Bad:
-Still don't understand what it takes to get lounge access, but great room anyway. Restaurant staff were very polite, but also very slow. At times seemed to forget I was there.


Value for $ or Priority Club Points? Would you return?
Only if Government rate is available. Otherwise the cost is as much as twice that of high end Hilton. Otherwise it is a great deal.


I have to say my Dubai experience was a complete 180 of Atlanta. What a great place to stay. My only complaint is that I've still never managed to see the inside of an executive lounge yet.
