I like this place, the indoor bar has karaoke, it was really nice, they serve drinks and a wide variety of wines and spirits. The karaoke also had Nigerian songs for those who like afrobeat and Nigerian songs. The have a resturant beside the lounge and also they bar is cool and comfortable and can accommodate outings for group of friends.

Great hotel back in the day. Serene environment. Decent room for moderate pricing. Does not have a lot of parking space or a pool. The restaurant could do with an upgrade. The halls are okay for events of 200 for the big hall and 30 for the converted restaurant. One other plus is it's location at the hear of town.

I love the fact that this place has space enough to hold more than two seminars at once and not have clashes. It's serene and got hospitable staff and excellent services.
