We stayed my husband, two daughters and myself for one night in this suite Hotel. The suite is spacious and clean. The staff very nice and helpful. Although I booked the room with no breakfast, they offered a free breakfast for all the family. The breakfast is a light breakfast but was more than enough for us. Thanks Rest Night Hotel Suites for the hospitality

“An Okay Place ”

It's all about your expectations. If you're looking for global standards, you're going to be disappointed or upset at Rest Night; if all you require is a Saudi standard circa 1960 and you speak Arabic, you'll be happy.

It's all about your expectations. If you're looking for global standards, you're going to be disappointed or upset at Rest Night; if all you require is a Saudi standard circa 1960 and you speak Arabic, you'll be happy. On the plus side: the beds are comfortable and the lighting is bright; there's an adequate desk to work at, the water's hot, and there's space for toiletries near the sink. Also, the staff are friendly and eager (not always able, but eager) to please. There's a pleasant little outdoor patio in which to eat breakfast, and the lobby is comfortable. On the downside: the shower isn't really set off from the rest of the bath, so water gets EVERYWHERE when you use it; when wet the floor is dangerously slippery; the complimentary breakfast is only barely adequate; during the three weeks I spent there, the restaurant wasn't open for lunch or dinner, and the hotel is located in a restaurant desert: three fast food places around the corner, a half-decent Mexican restaurant about two miles away, and that's it. The front desk has menus for three restaurants you can order take-out from for delivery. But the menus are in Arabic only, the desk staff aren't able to translate the dish names into English, the restaurants all have acceptable food, but their delivery guys took between 45 mins and two HOURS to find the hotel and bring the meal. The gym is really insufficient (two clunky treadmills and a small selection of machines & free weights) and it's only open from 11am to 1pm and 4-10pm. The carpeting in the room is tired, soiled and lumpy. The satellite channel selection does not include any English-language stations, and the Internet is shaky. Finally, housekeeping is erratic: my room was only cleaned about once every three days; sometimes I got new towels, sometimes not; sometimes I got toilet paper, soap & shampoo, sometimes not; sometimes laundry was returned within a day, but it could also take 3-4 days. Still and all, you could do a lot worse, and the price is right.
