Could easily be a 5 star overall if the check in process was a little more transparent. In my particular case, I was given a low floor despite asking for a high floor. Was told it was unavailable and then overheard the person next to me get the same room 8 floors higher. The only reason I even wanted a higher floor was to avoid street noise from sheikh Zayed Road. Eventually I accepted a room which was higher and facing away from the road and facing the sea and it was still a low floor but I thought at least it would be quieter. Unfortunately, it was now facing a construction site and I was then woken by even more noise lol. If check in were aware of these issues and were able to book people accordingly, it would easily be a 5* hotel. I would consider staycationing again and definitely look forward to returning for the rooftop views.

This isn't a critique as much as a sincere hope that the room noise level awareness is incorporated into the front desk training.
