A slow check-in4 of 2831 in 71 reviews

Getting charged USD 50 for an early check in 10 minutes after I was told there was no room ready and despite the fact before I arrived I was told the hotel would try to accommodate my early arrival without mention of a charge.

Description should be more accurate as city view is not really what you expect from "Dubai city view", instead you get that classic Dubai skyline on the golf club view.
