I arrived in the evening and the staff was very kind and brought my luggage down a flight of stairs to my room.

The room itself is basic but I don't mind. In the morning, I had an amazing view to look out to over the mountains and I did get hot water for my shower. It's basic, but again, I don't mind. Sometimes the most beautiful things are the most basic and simple.

The twin beds were simple and I had extra blankets if needed. I was comfortable and had a good sleep although the tourists in the next room were quite loud. I could hear them for most of the night. There isn't much insulation between rooms so you might hear your neighbors.

Since I traveled alone, I chose to eat outside on the patio/deck which I enjoyed. The dinner was great, a buffet of real authentic local dinner consisting of fish, vegetables, and rice.

In the morning, I had breakfast in the dining area of boiled eggs, a bagel type bread, and Arabic tea which I love very much!

The only issue I had is that for some reason, the hotel sent a local hiking guide named Mohammad to meet me in the morning for my hike to Feynan but I had booked everything (all my guides) through Enjoy Jordan. I had spoke to my guide the day before (his name is also Mohammad) and we agreed to meet at 9am in the morning. Since the hotel sent a local guide also named Mohammad, he arrived at 8:30am and I assumed this was the same guide I spoke to the day before but it was the wrong guide. I left with the wrong guide who also spoke very little English as I figured out 1/4 way into our hike.

This caused a big miscommunication and misunderstanding that should have been sorted out and cleared up before I left for my hike. Just wanted to bring this up.
