Needs improvement & attention to detail

The hotel is comfortable with a great outdoor swimming pool area. A number of things need attention to details: lack of towels for the bathroom floor as the shower is open and floor slippery when wet, replacing shower gels used daily, more meat variety at breakfast, placing note that water in the fridge is part of the bar and water outside is not! It takes a small things to make the stay memorable

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
First of I wanted to do a late checkout since my flight was at 11pm but was told by the front desk that they had no availability. I was able to go on Expedia and found that there was available rooms. I can not imagine for the life of me why the front desk would have told me they had no available rooms. I ended up booking on Expedia for another day just so I don't have to wait at the airport from checkout time till my flight time. Secondly the sevice was really horrible, I was stopped at the entrance so they could verify I actually had a room in the hotel. I felt discriminated against either because I wasn't white or wearing a suit. I would most def not recommend this hotel and will not be lodging here again.

Overpriced and bad service

The hotel had horrible internet. It was so bad that I always had to come downstair to work. It was such a mess. The services was bad, they were unhelpful with anything. An hotel as big as this didn't plan for one foreign socket in their room and were not helpful in anyway. It was an overpriced room.

25 ans FÉLICITATIONS

Ravi d'avoir passé un séjour dans un établissement hôtelier qui malgré les challenge qui existent sur le continent, continuent d'offrir après 25 ans un accueil et services 100% béninois (fon). L'offre qui s'étend sur plusieurs capitales Abidjan, Bamako et autres, allant jusqu'à la gamme 4 étoiles à un prix abordable incite à essayer les autres établissements. À bientôt 👍 !!!
