Al Jasira Hotel

8/10 Good
"It was a nice older property. We believed it was air conditioned but our rooms turned out not to be upon arrival. The in-room safe did not work. The weather was such that we could leave the windows open while we slept. Overall it seemed like a good value for the price. Nice people."
