اسعار الاكل مبالغ فيه بشكل كبير جدا ارقام فلكية
سعر الغرفة مرتفع حيث كان سعر الغرفة مبلغ 548 ريال + سعر وجبة العشاء 356 = 904 ريال
هذا الرقم لاقامة ليوم واحد مبالغ فيه بشكل كبير للغاية

Sufficient but needs improvement
Pros:

Breakfast was very good - good choices of food - staff very helpful

Cons:

I had two long scarves suddenly disappear. They tried to re-charge me for a meal i had as room-service - i had paid in the room but the front desk had not been informed and when they phoned to check was told i had not paid - luckily i had the receipt on hand. they tried to re-charge me for late checkout - had already paid for entire stay including late checkout on my second day there - had the receipt.
