| Holiday Inn Amman: Rooms OK, but watch out for some issues!

I stayed one night in this hotel so that I could catch an early morning flight out of Amman after a trip to Petra. I was reasonably pleased with my room, which was spacious (although lacking tea/coffee facilities, which was unfortunate). However, there was one huge problem--my room, on the fifth floor, was on the side of the hotel that also houses the disco. I was awakened at 2 AM by the noise from the club, which got progressively louder until the place finally shut down at 4 AM. Unbelievable. Considering that I was only there to sleep, and needed to wake up at 5:30 for my flight, I have to say that I was totally unsatisfied. If you stay here for any reason, make absolutely sure that your room is on the opposite side of the hotel from the disco.
Another issue was the extortionate rate that the hotel charged for a car to the airport--JOD 30, which seemed preposterous considering that I had just paid JOD 50 to drive there all the way from Petra! I ended up taking a taxi for JOD 20. I probably could have done better, but the hotel's isolated location means that you can't catch a cab from the street--you're at the mercy of the drivers who line up to bilk the captive Holiday Inn market.
The HI is a decent hotel, but the location is not the greatest. You really can't walk from the hotel to anything without traipsing down several deserted blocks and crossing a major highway.
