Снова в моем любимом отеле Back in my favorite hotel

Hello dear friends. The third time I stayed at this hotel, in February-March 2018, and the previous visits were in 2016.
Ibis is still a pleasant, bright and cozy hotel, there are non-smoking rooms, but, unfortunately, the service has become a little worse, as well as the cleaning of the rooms and the cleanliness of the tables in the restaurant are now not very good. The room had dusty old plafonds on the sconces, with stains, in the bathroom there was an unpleasant smell from the drain in the sink, and it was problematic to call someone to eliminate this smell. I lived in a room on the 8th floor, 817. Maybe just unlucky with the number? Last time I lived on the 6th floor.
You can still eat well in the restaurant, everything is beautiful, a lot of delicious pastries and fruits. I only had breakfast. Attaching photo.

My acquaintance, a pleasant girl Palmira, no longer worked at the reception, although I went to chat with her relatively recently, back in December 2017. By the way, with her departure, the only person at the reception who speaks Russian disappeared. This is not a problem for me, since I speak English well, but I don’t know how the rest communicate. Moreover, there are now much more Russians in this hotel compared to 2016. Probably now they are half of the total number of guests. Previously, it was no more than 1/4.
There is still a bus to Mamzar Park, free of charge, but now it takes tourists back not at 17:00, but at 15:30. Also not ice. You need to sign up in advance, I immediately signed up on the day of arrival, and for all the days ahead, because then there will be no places. And the departure from the hotel is strictly according to the list, please note.
Everything in the room is the same as before, a tea set, bed linen is changed every day, liquid soap in the bathroom.
In general, I was satisfied with the hotel and I think that I will visit it again. It's a very convenient place for shopping, near the metro, and I'm very happy that there is a free shuttle to the beach, now this is not so common in hotels. For the price, this hotel is not much more expensive than the terrible viper, the Spectrum 1 * hotel, which is located nearby, but the impressions are heaven and earth. In Ibis, you feel quite comfortable, quiet, since the windows do not open, cozy, you can sit in the lobby on pleasant soft sofas, drink mint water, which is offered to everyone for free, watching the motley crowd continuously scurrying along Rigga Road. One of the restaurants of the Golden Fox chain, which was on Rigga Road, right next to the hotel, closed, but the one on Al Jazeera Street remained. Locals say that the menu of this restaurant has not changed for 20 years. Yes, and the quality of food in the last year has not been very good, but still, it's still good. There are many better restaurants nearby.
I highly recommend the restaurants of the Emirates Sea chain, although they are far away. There are 2 of them, one near the Canadian hospital, the other in Sharjah. Aros nearby, and also a great restaurant. Attached is a photo of their business cards. You will not regret. And inexpensive. Although who cares... You can download their menu on the Internet and evaluate your financial capabilities...

In malls, it is beneficial to pay with a Visa card, a small percentage is charged. But God forbid you try to withdraw money from her in dirhams, at an ATM... sooo expensive !!!!!! ! Unprofitable. It's better to change dollars for taxi rides.
Deira is the oldest district of Dubai, once the city began from this place. And Al Ghurair Mall was the first mall in Dubai. But that's history....
