Glad you put emphasis on the salad 
. That has been the main culprit of mostly all my food poisoning episodes. I steer clear of salad bars and even as a side.
I plan to stay at that premier inn in December and will be extremely picky on what I might eat, if I decide to even eat there at all. I usually just eat out or buy simple food at the grocery store, which can be more reasonable in price for a monthly stay.

Stayed at the Hampton. It is far from the airport and a pain to get there. I also think I got ripped off by the cab company because their shuttle service sucks.
Other than that it’s actually a really nice property and great breakfast offerings.

uhhh.. gee I don’t know did you bother reading the title of the thread that specifically asks about hotels “WITHIN WALKING DISTANCE of DXB?” Call me crazy, but I thought since it’s NOT within walking distance it may in fact be relevant and I should share that experience.
Sorry I’m new at this.

Not trying to be mean, but people wanna know hotels that are nearby. Hilton falsely advertises that it’s the “Dubai Airport Hampton Inn” when in fact it’s no where near the airport

At £28 a night (for tonight), good value I'd say.

I just want people to know Hilton falsely says that Hampton is “Dubai Airport” when in fact for practicality purposes it is really no where near the airport. The shuttle is also sparse. It would be helpful if they had a frequent shuttle, and I’m not sure why they have such an infrequent shuttle given the problems with getting there and the title they advertise. The hotel itself is actually really nice (new) and cheap so I usually will take a taxi and include that in the bill which usually comes to $55-75.
