There was quite a long wait at checkin time with only one trained staff member . The room had not been dusted recently. In the restaurant at dinner, one of our meals was forgotten and not prepared until all the others had already finished their meals so we took it to go. The beds were hard. Otherwise it was a beautiful little oasis, and the staff were friendly.
The children loved the pool and the peacocks .

I don’t know where the other guests who gave this hotel a good review stayed, but my experience was terrible. I made a last minute reservation for New Year’s Eve based on the understanding that they had an airport shuttle according to the hotels.com description. Surprise! I was informed at check-in that they do not. I arrived around midnight on New Year’s. There was no one in reception but a very nice security guard who was pulling triple duty as a receptionist, security guard, and maintenance person. The room was terrible. The water in the shower would not stop dripping all night. The bed was hard as a rock. The mirror had lipstick kiss marks on it, and the wardrobe was so wobbly that when I accidentally bumped into it, it nearly fell over. I’m surprised it wasn’t tethered to the wall. I’d be worried it could fall onto a small child. There were two tiny pillows on a king sized bed. No fridge. No ice. One multi-purpose shampoo/soap in the shower. I got up early the next morning and took an Uber to the airport at an additional cost of about $25. The whole experience was extremely disappointing and I would never stay at this over priced facility again. Spend the extra $25 and get a room at one of the Hilton hotels, which are closer to the airport and offer a better overall experience . disappointing. I would never stay in this 80s rat trap again.

The front staff was a bit rude during check in. The kids loved the pool and seeing the peacocks walking around. The garden area around pool is spacious very pretty. We enjoyed the volleyball net and the walk around trail. The rooms were plain. Clean no mini fridge and only a sheet to sleep with. The air conditioner was nice and great fan in the room. Restaurant was plain and nothing special for food or delicious it was ok.

The restaurant on site had great food on their menu, but the breakfast seemed to be the same every day. I stayed for 14 days and they never offered bacon. They did have a good variety of fruit. I booked my stayvat this hotel because the website stated and showed that they had a hot tub. I was very disappointed to find out that this was not the case. The area where the hotel was located was extremely noisy both during the day and all night long. I did not have a full night sleep for the entire 14 days. The location did provide me with the opportunity to get a good walk each day through the downtown. Unfortunately, the infrastructure is not very good, which make walking a risk. As well, it seems that a lot has changed since my last visit to the same hotel and to Liberia 2 years ago. Homeless people were sleeping on the streets and panhandling all over. The city itself is quite dirty. On a positive note, the staff of the hotel were great to talk to and get to know. Most of the people that i met in Liberia were pleasant, as well.

There was hair in the shower from previous guest. The shower head was moldy. Wait 12 hours for someone to open the toilet after falling multiple times to the point I had to get manager. Also was locked onto the property at night because the security went to do something and couldn’t get out. It’s really bad place. Do your self a favor, spend little more and book else where. Ooo also if you are there on weekend, good luck, there is a bar and club across the street with music blasting till 4-5 am. Wish I can post pics, would’ve seen how bad this place is.
