the air was extremely damp due to an obsolete air condition. The breakfast was one of the worst buffets I've ever seen (and I've travelled around the world). For 2-3 days it's bearable but not any longer.

If you are looking for a hotel while in transit to Dubai and also love night clubs, this is one hotel which fits the bill.

First and foremost, ask for a room from 3rd floor upwards, if u prefer a sound sleep after a drink or two and donot like the clubbing thumps/vibes in your rooms.
The sports bar on the ground level is a nice,small,decent place even if you have female guests.the filipino hostesses are very friendly with their ever charming innocent smile on their faces ( they very well deserve a good tip )Ask for the kebabs and chicken lollipops if you love fried stuff...its just wonderful. you might also get a Beer t-shirt/cap or two ( provided the promos are going on) if you can manage to coax the fnb manager by the name Michael(indian),a friendly chap. ( he prefers Red bull with Vodka )..!!!

breakfast is acceptable and room service/house keeping exteremly good and prompt if you tip the attendant. !!

Overall, a nice,affordable,small,quiet place ( 3rd floor plus)with convenient access to all places of interest

We stayed in the Seashell Inn in early January. We had the Executive room, which was very spacious and modern, with a king size bed , though it was a bit clammy and damp. The wrap-around windows were nice. The kids had a regular room which was, regular - with two twin beds. We had paid for breakfast, which was okay, with a selection of English, Arabic, and Indian dishes in a buffet.

The hotel is located on a main road in the heart of the computer souk. It was on the route of the Dubai Marathon which we had come to view.

The main complaint about the hotel is the nightclub and loud music. We were on the third (European) floor and the nightclub was on the ground floor below us. The sound was very loud until 3 am both nights.

Service was fine and the staff was friendly. There was an airport shuttle - apparently this is a hotel used by many who are just stopping over between flights. We had rented a car - the parking is in the basement in a tiny parking garage. Don't try to get a suburban in there!

The hotel was fine for a short stay, but I think for a longer stay, one on the beach would be nicer.
