Highlight of the hotel is its great staff. Friendly, professional, attentive. Rooms are nice, well appointed, although not luxurious. Internet is free and works very well.
Things to improve: a) the bar. The stench is unbearable if you are a non-smoker. Management should vastly improve the ventilation or make it non-smoking. I truly feel for the staff that need to work there. b) the restaurant is expensive for Tana and the food was stale and not good at all. Service was also inattentive the one night I had dinner.
While the hotel is a bit secluded, about 3 blocks away and next to the Total gas station is a restaurant Vicu-Vicu which is very good and at half the price of what the hotel will charge you.
