You are photographed and thumb-printed when entering the country. Pretty straight forward stuff.
Our driver, Mohamad was there to meet us. Easy name to remember... He continued to call Sue (my wife) "lady" for most of the trip. I sat in the front to keep the conversation going. I was "Mr Jeffrey"
Stayed at the Dana Plaza Hotel on the 6th circle. A "circle" is a roundabout in Amman. On Zahran Street they are all numbered to make them easy to find - bit easier than the method used in Doha. Tooting of horns and driving is much the same though. We had fun crossing the roads.
We didn't try any of the hotel facilities as we did not have time. It caters mainly for Arabs so breakfast did not include such things as bacon and fried eggs. Humus, cheese, olives, boiled eggs, flat bread, tomatoes, were general fare. Toast, croissants and cereals were available. Our view was of a construction site across the road. I wouldn't recommend it if you are looking for a bit of class.
