Poundhound, wicked Roger, Assad76.
Thanks a lot for the replies, I will be there after 2 weeks then report back.
I hope it's not affected with the drama in Dubai hotels due to DSF.
The point I'm fishing always in golden triangle, I will try to see if there is any near venue.
I know there are red square & the one in Sheraton Dirah. But I don't like to fishing there as the price are little high.
I like to work with budget, who wants to pay more LOL.

Any updates on Metropolitan Deira? Use to be red in 2013, has it gone back to green?
Any feedback?
So what's better. Club room or Royal one at the LM Airport? Which is less "walk of shame"? Whats the difference between "Club" and "Royal Club" at the lounge?
Please help.
Chessman. Thanks for the post on Jumeirah Creekside after you stayed there last year. I am travelling to Dubai shortly and it was one of the hotels I was thinking of booking as a change from the usual suspects, your post helped me make my decision. I will be looking to put on my best indignant face and see if I can walk through with companion without stopping to meet any identification requirements.
For others looking into the forum, think of this as a good case study for how information exchange works in the real (and adult) world.
1. My first port of call was the search function and not a random message asking for help.
2. Chessman did not get an answer to his original question on the hotel, however still posted feedback.
3. Is this likely to make me predisposed to sharing further information with Chessman (hotels and contacts) in PM. The answer is YES.
[QUOTE=Chessman;1661467]Hi Guys.
I'm going to answer my own question.
Th hotel is new, plush and expensive. Fine if someone else is paying, but there are cheaper hotels which are almost as good if you are paying yourself.
It is green. I'd required at the reception, but no problems and a short walk of shame. Report in the usual section.

I was there last week.
No way to take a girl from outside, not even at a charge.
However, if you agree with a Fili girl from the local bar (Cowboy Grill, formerly Ratsky) the Mamasan will find the way.
Provided she has Fili friends at the reception.
[QUOTE=Kirch;1666608]About 1-2 months ago Shangri La and Conrad on Sheikh Zahed Road turned from green to red! More to come as the government want the entire Sheikh Zahed Road red. At least I was told so.[/QUOTE]Planning a return trip to Dubai and browsing through the pages of my favourite hotel, the Shangri-La, I noticed that they added a message that all guests have to be registered (in accordance to local law) and that rooms were not to be used for parties. And then I saw this message. Too bad.
Red means no go even with registration? Do you have to pay a joiner fee?
I'm looking for other hotels, and considering the Dusit Thani, the Ritz Carlton and the Grosvenor House. The first two were green with I'd, and the third was totally green (like the Shang). Does anyone have any recent information? Anything is welcome.
Many thanks,
Pelosky.
Gents,
Is interconti green? If not, is there a 4 star hotel that's green and easy access?
Regards.
Please advise.

Hey guys,
I've RTFF but it seems guest policies change arbitrarily and without notice. I don't want to book a room only to find they don't allow visitors. I was wondering if Dubai had motels or anything along those lines. Is there someplace I could get a room for 4 or 5 hours and would they accept a US drivers license as ID? Can't I just walk in with the girl and ask for a room for 2 or will that be too obvious / sketchy?
[QUOTE=BloodRed;1661607]I had booked Sheraton Deira for 2 nights on Jan 5, expecting it to be green as always. Well, one of my WG contacts informed me today that it is not allowing girls in. I called Sherataon Deira and they confirmed that about 3 weeks back, they implemented this new 'rule' of not allowing visitors. WTF. And my booking is non refundable also.
Any suggestions on sure to be Green hotels at this point in time?
Thanks.
BR.[/QUOTE]Sorry to hear that dude. I'm sincerely hoping the senior members here can point us in the right direction. I guess the only way forward for you would be to keep the room (duh, no choice) and ask the WGs if they know of a place close by (ie her place, friend, etc). At the end of the day, if the vag is negotiable then so is everything else. You might end up paying a little more, but I don't really see another way out at this point. I don't know if it'll work but it might be worth a shot.
Hi Guys. Is that hotel with a 'Seaview' still lime coloured? I've only got 5 days left for free cancellation if its not. Otherwise I have to pay. Cheers Nickc.

It happened with me in Sheraton Diera as far back as 2008. Sheraton Diera was not appropriate any way as they started charging AED 120 for your guest.
People can only suggest hotels that have been green most of the time.
From you post I understand that you have some sort of contact with WG and I think she is the best person to help you out.
I think most LE Merideans, Sheratons and Hiltons, Ramada are friendly hotels but no guarantee.
