Travelers looking for cheap hotels in Dammam won't have to sacrifice essential comforts. The Howard Johnson Dammam Hotel, for instance, places you steps from the Corniche beach, with an indoor pool, an on-site restaurant, and free Wi-Fi. Rooms at the Eastyard Dammam Hotel, another budget-friendly pick, include kitchenettes and balconies, making self-catering simple. Expect to pay around $50-80 per night at these properties, depending on the season and room type.
For a base near the waterfront, consider the Corniche district, where the 3-star Howard Johnson offers air-conditioned rooms and villas with satellite TV, while the aparthotel-style AFAM Residence provides extra space and a washing machine-useful for longer stays. All include free private parking, and King Fahd International Airport is a 20- to 30-minute drive away. If you're watching your budget, opt for a room with breakfast included, as it can save you both time and money.
