Ascott Properties in Muscat

I booked one twin room and one king room, requesting quiet rooms close to each other. When checking in, the female receptionist gave me a twin room on the sixth floor and a king room on the third floor. The twin room had a lot of equipment noise. After complaining, they moved me to the room across the hall, but when I walked in, it was a king room... They clearly had twin and king rooms close together, so I don't know why they didn't give them to me initially. 🙄 The third-floor room was quiet at first, but then at 6 AM the next morning, the construction site across the street started up. The hotel didn't even seem full, so I don't know why all the rooms they assigned were facing the construction. 😤 I saw a laundry room listed in the amenities, and after searching for a while, I found two washing machines on the fifth floor. They looked dirty, so I didn't dare use them. The breakfast selection was quite limited, comparable to a budget hotel in China, and leaned towards Indian flavors. Other staff members were friendly though. The room had a large water dispenser, but we didn't want to drink from it, and the staff promptly provided several bottles of drinking water, which was great. The room also had a microwave and some tableware. Overall, it was just an alright stay for one night, and the bedding was comfortable.
