You could check the Hilton Makkah. It's a 3 star but pretty good for that. Rates are about 1,500 SAR per night I think, although with 7000 SAR you may like to live it up a little. You can only stay in Makkah if you're Muslim. If not, I used the Ramada in Jeddah (Lebanon Street, I think) and took a taxi to Makkah from there (about an hour's drive).

Try looking on Tripadvisor.com to get more hotels and reviews.

Have fun
