16yrs ago, I flew to Dubai to take part in the Dubai 7's - I'd arrived ahead of my fellow team-mates and we were all supposed to be staying in the Chicago Beach Hotel. When I got to arrivals a man from the Chicago Beach was waiting for me and with profuse apologies explained that the hotel was overbooked and... more

Bedroom was dark, dingy, depressing and didn't smell great. The internet connection was dial-up so, unless they fitted broadband since, no use for the business traveller.

the hotel is a bit away from it all, opposite a roundabout,but no noise was heard. the free shuttle to the beach too ages,the beach was quite far and the return pick up took forever. we had to catch taxis everywhere,which did cost us alot. there is nothing near the hotel, nearest shopping centre is 10min taxi ride, and gets... more
