I stayed at this hotel for one night only, since my business meeting plans changed and I needed an extra night in Abu Dhabi. This hotel shouldn't have any stars, in my opinion; it was awful. Run down, very outdated décor, and hugely expensive ($700 for one night in a room that stank of smoke). I am sure the hotel... more
