BEST LUXURY HOTEL NEAR THE AIRPORT AND MOTORWAYS
by DAO about Crowne Plaza Amman Amra (King Falsal Bin Abdel Azi
Excellent location, services, staff and amenities. This is the lowest priced luxury hotel near the Airport and Motorways.
In addition to helpful staff there are several restaurants (not cheap) and 2 bars. There are 2 swimming pools (one indoor), saunas, whirlpools and a mini bar in your room. The Car rental company 'Dallah Rent A Car' has a desk in the lobby and cars in the car park. They give excellent rental prices.
If you speak to the staff, they will be nice enough to take you onto the roof to take pictures of the 7 hills of Amman.
See if anybody pays attention to the fact that one whirlpool is painted pink and the other blue in the leisure complex. Luxury and accessibility that won't kill the budget. We stayed here for about $70 a night. The buffet was excellent.
There are nice shops/shopping mall next door and an ATM. Accross the street is a fantastic grocery store and sweet shop.
Amman, all of it, is only a $1-2 taxi ride away.

Laptop and Internet at Hotel?
by use2bbandman
I will be staying at the Crowne Plaza Amman and the Crowne Plaza Petra while visiting in November and I am wondering about the internet services at these hotels..... Not certain if I want to carry my laptop through 12 days of Egypt and the on to Jordan, but I do write a travel blog daily with pictures and would like to keep this current during my travels. Are there any internet cafes close to either, or both, of these hotels? Thanks for any assistance on this matter.

I don't know the Crowne Plaza in Amman, but in Petra, yes there is an internet service in the hotel and an internet cafe a few hundred meters away.
Internet cafes are common in Jordan, you shouldn't have any trouble, although I don't know about uploading photos.

You can check out the website of a hotel internet access provider such as interTouch (http://www.inter-touch.com) to see if a broadband-enabled hotel is listed for Egypt and Jordan.
