This is a place to meet others, but has a capatilist heart. The staff are overworked and undervalued, the women are spoken to terribly and treated worse, there is a fat old guy (owners uncle) smoking constantly whilst he shouts at staff and customers alike. The food may offer a welcome diversion to street food but once you have tasted one item from the menu you have tasted them all!! This place has a shabby 70's porn feel to it and the majority of rooms would be considered hostel accomodation at best. It is definitley not shabby sheek and epitomises all the crudeness of a philosophy that values your wallet more than your person. If you want your money to stay in Ghana and beleive in sustainable and ethical economy do not spend here, however if you want to support systematic violations of human rights and abuse of women stay a month. In short it is seedy, exploitative and embarassing that it continues to live. One positive for the place is the air conditioning and lebanese coffee was good, if you dont mind sporadic and lengthy service times. Overheard conversations include "I'm glad the police hit the guy, I bet he got a good kicking once outside the bar" "your nothing but a f***ing prostitute" fat smoky guy to gorgeous exploited young waitress. The choice is yours!
