My stay at the Massara House was just fair. The hotel has a convenient location. The appliances in the room were ok and I was amazed by the cable TV packege. I had never seen so many channels available. For me as a western, it was nice to see channels from all over the Middle East and Africa.The building needs some refurbishing. The decoration in the halls and mainly in the rooms is a little bit old and heavy and dark, for my taste. The room is small and due to that, the table that it is supposed to be for the using the notebook computer, for example, can't be used because it is just in front of the bathroom door. No room for the chair, so it becomes useless. The bed was big enough and it was confortable and clean. The thing I think really needs some attention from the manager is thebathroom. It is dark, not well cleaned and no blindex box for the shower, not even a curtain. You shower and the whole place gets wet. The clerck did not give me much attention during the check in because he was talking on the phone all the time. It is unconfortable because it feels like the conversation was more important than the customer. I couldn't check the hotel facilities because it was just an over night stay.
