We travel a lot around the world, in the UAE for the second time this year (we stayed in Sharjah in February). Usually we choose hotels according to the principle that in the center, it is convenient to get to the sights, inexpensive, decent, we only spend the night in hotels.
Yesterday we returned from this hotel. The first impression upon checking in was terrible! Dirty room on the 3rd floor, huge dried black stains on the carpet. On the sofa there are streaks of unknown origin. Dishes in the kitchen are dirty. The feeling of disgust did not leave!! ! I never could bring myself to cook anything in their dishes. We managed with snacks from products bought in the Reef Mall. It was even disgusting to leave food in the refrigerator, since everything was stained and streaked there. The refrigerator does not stand on its own, but is piled up on the wall to hold it. Three of us stayed, but towels and toiletries were always left for two. And then, only after contacting Fedor at the reception (the only Russian-speaking guy who will help you). And then they lived to the point that no soap, no toilet paper, no napkins! Napkins were never brought.
The only plus of the hotel is the metro station nearby. And that's it! The staff, especially the middle aged woman, are gloomy. The feeling that you are being watched, they are on duty at breakfast, they look at each plate, how much you take.

We travel a lot, but have never been so "stuck". Now older children are going to the UAE - I would never recommend this nightmarish hotel !!!
A special experience for compatriots when loading onto the beach bus! People go to war! Although, and this is a plus for the hotel, a second bus is served if everyone has not entered the first one. Perhaps some people like the feeling of victory, so pot-bellied uncles arrange competitions to see who will jump up first and take more seats.
Breakfasts are monotonous, but we were not picky, what was missing - we bought more. Excursions were taken from firms on the beach, liked it. The sea is warm, wonderful, the sand, the country is amazing. The beach is dirty because of cigarette butts, but then again, who is to blame for us if people have such a culture? We will definitely come, but not to Al Muragabat Plaza, THAT'S EXACTLY!
