I was quickly moved to another room after the air conditioner failed. In both rooms, the available blankets were not clean.

This property looks okay at night but during the day it was terrifying. The building still not completed basically it’s just a building site. The service is poor. The complimentary pick up is a joke. They will not leave until the airport is empty out and you were forced to wait in the airport for over 90 minutes.

This is a very cheap hotel near the airport so a good location for a night’s stay before flying. It is very basic and tired but very cheap. You would not spend a holiday there. Transport to and from the airport worked well although the mini bus was extremely battered.

Excellent location for meetings at the airport.
The driver was great.
Staff not rude, but not friendly either.
Dead mosquito smeared on the wall in the room.
Wi-Fi connection not available in room 120 and only one (Senegalese) TV-channel available.
Not possible to borrow an iron to iron my pants (laundry staff weren't available in the hours before and after we were working).
Extremely noisy - bring earplugs! First night someone was hammering on something somewhere for hours around midnight, 2nd night some kind of pump (!) made insane noisy outside the window all night.
In summary, it works, but adjust expectations. The experiences matches the very reasonable price.

The staff is great! They are doing a lot of updates and building more rooms but they need to have beds that don’t have metal springs poking you all night, the shower head clogs and barely works, the drains are extremely slow in the shower. Please think about the comfort of your guest and improving what you have already

Airport pick up
Shuttle service from airport did not show up, waited an hour for it, then end up taking a cab costing me. Shuttle picked up was reconfirmed by hotel.com representative who called the hotel directly to confirm first.

Nice hotel near the airport
Staff was great, food was very good. I sent clothes out to be laundered and they came back pressed the same day. I would definitely sty here again as the price per night is a nice bargain.
One suggestion is to improve internet access. Wifi was not accessible in my room, but the lobby and restaurant had it.
