Radisson Blu Hotel, Dubai Deira Creek

Prós: The staff was exceptionally friendly, and the rooms clean. Very comfortable bed and pillows. Lots of restaurants and shops in the building, with the option of ordering room service from any of them. Would consider this hotel a good option in the future. Free WiFi, a universal outlet to plug in electronics from just about anywhere, and the option for wired internet if that is your preference.

Contras: Ask for rooms on the third floor or higher. The first floor rooms are right by the pool (closed for renovation), and below all of the second floor restaurants. At about 7:45 AM you start hearing a lot of noise from both the pool and restaurants. Also the view from the large window was basically a back alley.
