Good area with a few dining options (Middle Eastern, healthy, McDonald's and Starbucks) next door. The hotel itself is busy, with check-in lines, elevators are slow to arrive. Requested a non-smoking room and it was hard to get one, perhaps due to the Asian Football Games. Studio decor is simple, with signs of wear, but passable. Nice view over the Gulf. It was a decent option in comparison to many other hotels which significantly increased rates for the Games.
