I can always count on the Dahran International
The Dhahran International Hotel has always served me and my family well as a travel "oasis".
When it opened, we frequented its restaurant. When we flew out of the Dhahran airport, we always found the lobby lounge hospitable.
During the Gulf war, the hotel hosted the press corps. Remember the blue domes? I was in the hotel when Kuwait was liberated.
Nostalgia aside, I stayed at the Dhahran International for business in January, 2007, and was well pleased with the accomodation.
The staff was frendly, helpful and attentive. The rooms were clean and adequate. Wireless internet was available in the lobby. The breakfast buffet provided a good start to the morning. Parking was adequate with easy access to Saudi Aramco and Al-Khobar business centers.
The Dhahran International Hotel is a "good value for money" and will receive my consideration for subsequent visits to the area.
