My stay at Howard Johnson By Wyndham Abu Dhabi Downtown was quite disappointing. While the location offered easy access to local attractions, the room's poor cleanliness and overwhelming noise from the nightclub below made it hard to relax. Additionally, the service fell short, especially during check-in when the staff seemed uninviting. Overall, the experience didn't meet my expectations and needs improvement. 😕

I had a lively but mixed experience during my stay at Howard Johnson by Wyndham Abu Dhabi Downtown. The hotel has a vibrant atmosphere, especially at night, and while the location is great for nightlife and dining options, it’s not ideal for families. The staff were friendly, and I enjoyed the breakfast, but I found the internet access a bit inconvenient, and the furnishings could use an update.
