Just wrapping up a 2 night stay here & have a few thoughts. Booked Classic King Club Room on Ambassador BOGO rate, pre-upgraded to King Junior Suite but eventually ended up In King 1 Bedroom Residence with Balcony & marina views. Room was well equipped but fit-out was clearly done on-the-cheap & it is prematurely showing it's age, is dull & just rather unappealing to me. Club Lounge is a bit of a strange one. It feels like a bit of an afterthought as its small, is squeezed into a narrow space & with a wrap around narrow terrace. Once again, it feels rather worn. Service here was pretty good & there was a decent enough evening service with plenty of good booze options & the usual lounge bites. A calm breakfast vibe was prevalent (which was most welcome) - we didn't try afternoon tea. Room service was efficient & courteous as were the door guys who were well drilled with taxis etc. I'd say there is nothing bad about the hotel its just dull & bobs about in the middle of a sea of many more appealing options in Dubai. I chose it purely for the location & to burn the Ambassador BOGO certificate. I wouldn't stay again (& will not be renewing my Ambassador membership) as I much prefer Hilton/Marriott options in the locations that I visit. An example of this is that we travelled from the Doubletree Hilton Yas Island in Abu Dhabi & we MUCH preferred that property. Beautifully fresh & bright new property with a higher quality fit-out & better layout/space. The Staybridge there is ok but older & not as appealing - YMMV but there you go.
