The hotel covered a high ground here as it's so long occupying more than 4 plots of land with wide space for parking. It's just by Babs Animashaun, my place and I frequent here too. It has a bakery inside and the bread I buy here is one of a kind so delicious & sumptuous. It also has a clean environment.

This hotel has seen very good times and bad times as well. And through it all it has come out strong. The hotel has a branch in Abuja that is structured alike. Facilities include a swimming pool of upto 12ft deep that is available for both lodgers and walk-in swimmers at N1,000. Doesn't seem to me as well maintained through. There is a gym likewise available for lodgers and non lodgers. Different gym plans are available, call in for that. There is d Almighty Rita Lori bread, loved by all. The bar is usually packed especially for Fridays. Believe it or not service here is at it's peak, that accounts for the crowed here.The club in here used to b crazy good. With lots of take away girls outside to select from. Oh I forget to say.There are a million grubs u can use outside from other small sellers.

I love the pool so much, its really deep, 12ft deep. It really blew my mind. I thought i was going to drown if i go to the deep part but i went anyway and i didn't. That was my first experience swimming in a 12ft pool and i loved it.

The meals at the restaurant need to be evaluated. I took fried rice that was warmed up and appeared like meal from the day before. My guest called my attention to it. I was not happy. To think that I had bragged about the place. Also, remove the partition and let's have the side sofa back. It was a nice area to relax and take pictures back then.

The atmosphere is calm. The pool area can be rowdy, it's advisable to go when schools are in session. The pool entrance fee is N1,000 as of 05/04/23.

Nice, clean premises with professional and friendly staff. Stayed in the deluxe room for two nights and there was electricity round the clock and good lighting in the room. There's WiFi and complimentary breakfast (tea and 1 toast). Only issue i had was the air conditioning would make a noise every now and then because water was dripping onto it's back from the floors above. Not enough noise to dampen one's spirit though as i soon became accustomed to it. I will definitely visit this establishment again.

I am going to be talking about all the other parts, like the amazing restaurant scenery and sit outs, bar, club and foods. Amazing great night life here and it is located directly facing the street, easily accessible. You should visit, it had a reputation but new management seems to be concerned about erasing that and giving it a very relaxing scenery. Good for photoshoots, parties, events, weddings, bridal showers and loads more. Yesss all that, visit now.

For a 3-star hotel, it can live up to its repute, with proper facelift and management. The gym is great, the access routes easy, the space lovely and food good.
