Disappointing Experience at an "Upmarket" Hotel
I recently stayed at La Suite Dubai in a "Deluxe One Bedroom Sea View Apartment" with balcony, and it was far from the "upmarket" experience advertised. The room had a strong odor of cigarettes and mold, with visible black mold on the ceiling, walls, and balcony door. The furniture was old, stained, and faded, and there was a coffee machine with no coffee pods. Additionally, the TV options were poor, with very few English channels, no streaming services, and an outdated TV that didn't support Chromecast.
While the staff did apologize after our stay, the condition of the room upon arrival was unacceptable for a 4-star hotel. I would not recommend this hotel based on my experience.
