Nice hotel but pool area is very tired

Nice hotel close to the shopping mall and only 15 minutes from the airport. Pool area is very tired with broken tiles and faded woodwork. Sunbeds are old and not enough side tables. Nice breakfast with huge fresh selection. Lots of other nice restaurants on site too. I would recommend staying here but pool area definitely needs a massive refurbishment. Hopefully now it’s a Marriot they will make the improvements needed

Not up to usual standard

This is my 5th stay at the hotel due to working in the area and the first time during Ramadan. I bought breakfast when I booked but was informed that rather than the normal 6am opening it was 7am due to Ramadan. No good for me as I had to be on site for 7am. No mention of this when booking the hotel. The hotel allowed me in to the breakfast area but others who had paid for breakfast in the same situation as me, weren't so lucky. Only cereals and coffee were available at this time. The quality of the food, especially the hot dishes is definitely not as good as previous stays: less variety; poorer presentation. Previously I would have scored the food 9/10, now nearer 7/10 - change of chef or Ramadan influence? Finally, coming down to dinner about 7:30pm, the whole dining area is devastated, not one clean table to sit it with mess everywhere. Again, on previous visits, staff would clear away your plates immediately, this trip, plates were left stacking up with food on the floor, tables and seating not cleaned up. Must say that I was disappointed. I understand that it is Ramadan but a large majority of the guests are non-muslim with a job of work to do in KSA. I may try another hotel for my next visit.
