I stayed at this hotel recently and while I appreciated the location near the city center, my experience was a bit mixed. The rooms left a lot to be desired as they had a strong smell of stale cigarette smoke, which was particularly challenging for the asthmatics in my group. The staff were friendly and helpful, but there were clear areas for improvement in service quality. Overall, while it had its perks, the issues with the room cleanliness and odors were hard to overlook.

I had a decent stay at the hotel. The location is really great with easy access and plenty of parking, and the pool area is quite nice. However, the rooms didn't match the pictures and had some issues with old cigarette smoke lingering around, which was tough for my group of asthmatics. Also, the dining experience didn't fully meet my expectations, especially when it came to options for vegetarians.

I had a nice stay at this hotel, which is conveniently located on the highway between Sohar city and the industrial area. The staff were incredibly friendly and took great care of my child, but the rooms could definitely use some improvement, as the carpet was quite stained. The location made it easy to access the mall and beach, making it a solid choice for a family getaway, though I would recommend they work on the room cleanliness.
