If you don't really count on spending alot of time in your hotel room while you are out and about in Muscat but still want all of the basic comfort+cleanliness thrown into the price of the place, these are two hotels my friends of some taste have stayed at who were looking for something more discount. NOTE, I DID NOT INCLUDE THE ONES that are just as cheap, but smelled like sewage and/or if you are a girl checking in there, feel sleezy like you're at a no-tell motel.
The hotels don't seem to have easy to find webpages but you can take my word on it, they are decent. I promise to try to get photos the next time I have guests visiting.

___________________________________________Funny quote from the Al Hail hotel (don't check in there please unless you like noise, sleeze, and and the smell of sewage):
MOP to OPNO: "Why didn't you come in with us?"
OPNO: "I'm nine months pregnant. I didn't want to get up."
Aalia (of chasing jannah blog) with her girl S: "Everyone looked at us straaaaaaaaange."
MOP: "It looks like the place Omani guys bring their girlfriends." Helplessly"...But you asked for the cheapest I knew of."
Aalia: "So they thought......? Ewwwwwwwwww!"
Yeah, and that wasn't the worst of the Al Hail that there is to tell. I'd say, stay tuned, but I DON'T want to get into it. Think poop. That about sums it up.

Great post, people googling for information like this will find it super-useful :)
You can also Visit www.theviewoman.com. TO avail the special summer slashed rates.
Sythe: Thanks for reading. I thought so, since most people I know these days can't afford a week long splurge at one of our more famous hotels.;)
Tanya: Lovely brilliant comment, but isn't a muscat based hotel---so it didn't fit this posts' content so I saved it for another post inshaAllah if you don't mind:)
what about the one we stayed at that was nice, and out in the middle of what felt like nothing. Though had that weird um group come in.
Boxie: That was wadi al kabir. A bit too much traffic for me to like enough to list it. It was also a bit more pricey. But super nice until... the "group" of Omani guys "treating" their prostitute (Omani girl BTW---happens) for a brief stay "checked" in lol. What a weird couple of days THAT was.
Addition for you :) We stayed in Muscat 2 nights ago, and wanted a beachfront locale so we ended up in Shatti al Qurm. Down the street from the Crowne AND the Intercon (pricey those) is a place called just The Beach Hotel and it was lovely. Comfy rooms, full bathrooms with amazing showers, a pool that is pretty hidden from public view, and roomservice :) We were super close to everything, and while its not UBER cheap, it was only 40 OR for the night including everything. I recommend it! :)
