Guests especially appreciate the convenience of nearby parking and easy access to essential services, despite some challenges with parking space availability. The strategic placement near major tourist attractions and Rahmaniya Mall, coupled with quiet surroundings, makes it suitable for business and leisure travelers alike.
The spacious and clean rooms provide good value, especially for families and groups, thanks to larger suites with multiple bedrooms and sound insulation that ensures a quiet stay. However, there are noted issues with outdated and often broken furniture, poor ventilation and inconsistent cleanliness.

Despite these pitfalls, the overall accommodation offers a considerable amount of space and necessary features for a comfortable stay.
When it comes to cleanliness, the property receives mixed reviews. While some guests find the accommodation clean and family-friendly, others report issues such as dirty bathrooms, worn-out furniture, unclean linens and unpleasant odors, including smoke smells. Insect presence and poor housekeeping were also highlighted. The feedback indicates a need for better maintenance and more attentive cleaning services to enhance guest experiences.
The staff at City Suites generally receive positive feedback, especially the reception team, which is commended for their professional, helpful and friendly demeanor.

Onsite, free parking is a noted convenience, although the spaces are often narrow and difficult to navigate with the overall supply struggling to meet demand. The excessive crowding, influenced by a nearby clinic, may detract from the overall benefits for some guests.
Mixed feedback also extends to the beds, which are sometimes found clean and comfortable, but often reported as worn out, hard and sometimes unhygienic. The quick provision of extra beds is a plus, yet there remains a need for improved maintenance and replacement of outdated bedding essentials to ensure a more consistently pleasant stay.

Rooms
City Suites offers spacious and clean rooms, making it a decent choice for travelers seeking budget accommodations near the Corniche and Al Khobar's tourist attractions. The larger suites, especially those with multiple bedrooms, are well-suited for families and groups, providing good value for the price. The sound insulation is commendable, ensuring a quiet stay and the beds, although often noted as worn out, are generally wide and comfortable.
However, several reviews indicate that the furniture is outdated and often broken with issues ranging from malfunctioning heaters, electrical faults and poor ventilation. There are frequent complaints about cleanliness with musty and smoky smells being prevalent, unclean linens and an overall mismatch between the images on booking sites and the reality of the rooms. Maintenance is a recurring concern as guests have reported broken fixtures, dim lighting and non-functional air conditioning.
Despite the generous room sizes, there are issues with small or inconvenient bathrooms and the absence of essential amenities like cleaning tools and kitchen utensils. Overall, while City Suites offers a spacious and quiet environment close to key locations, it is in dire need of renovation and better upkeep to meet travelers' expectations.

City Suites presents a mixed experience when it comes to the beds. While there are reports of clean, comfortable pillows and bedding that provide a restful sleep, there are significant issues that need addressing.

Mattresses and pillows received frequent negative remarks for being worn out, hard and uncomfortable with some guests even needing to bring their own beddings. Despite some positive feedback on the comfort of beds and quick provision of extra beds, the overall consensus suggests a need for improved maintenance and the replacement of outdated bedding essentials to ensure a more consistently pleasant stay.
Cleanliness
City Suites presents a mixed bag of reviews when it comes to cleanliness. While some guests found the accommodation clean and suitable for families, particularly praising the spaciousness of the apartments and proximity to the corniche, numerous reviews highlight significant cleanliness issues. Common complaints include dirty bathrooms, worn-out furniture, neglected carpets and unclean linens. Many guests noted that the rooms had an unpleasant odor with some specifically mentioning a smoke smell. Instances of poor housekeeping were frequent and some reported the presence of insects and cockroaches.

Despite reasonable rates and some positive remarks about location and staff politeness, the consistent lack of cleanliness detracted significantly from many guests' experiences.

However, numerous guests encountered significant issues with the WiFi. Complaints include the internet being very slow, not working at all, or not reaching inside the apartments and interior rooms. Several visitors mentioned weak coverage, poor connection and limited network availability. Some even noted that the internet problems extended to cellular data due to low signal in the rooms.

Parking
City Suites offers onsite, free parking, which is a major convenience for guests. The parking lot is situated right in front of the hotel, making it easily accessible. However, many guests have noted that there are some challenges associated with the parking. The spaces provided are often described as narrow, leading to potential difficulty in maneuvering vehicles.
One of the most recurrent issues highlighted is the lack of designated parking spaces. This absence results in a struggle to find an available spot, especially during peak times, as the lot tends to be crowded. Several guests pointed out that there is no guarantee of securing a parking space upon arrival, which can be a significant inconvenience. The problem is exacerbated by the limited number of parking spaces versus the demand from all tenants, including the crowding caused by a nearby clinic.
Despite these challenges, the availability of any form of parking is seen as a positive feature. However, guests should be prepared for potential difficulties and the likelihood of limited availability. For some, the congestion and tight spaces may detract from the overall convenience.
