First—- the place was very difficult to find. We used Google Maps and Waze. The first time looking for it we ended up somewhere else. The Manager told us to use online map and to add “Akoka”. Once we did, it still didn’t work out. Next, the driver got directions from the Manager and we still got lost; quite a lotta street to navigate. Check in was easy. The room was much smaller than expected but it was ok for the price and length of stay. The staff was very helpful. The room was clean. We needed to sweep the place. We were given a ‘broom’ that was a bunch of straw wrapped together with a piece of cloth!! Lol. We haven’t ever seen anything like it before. After the first night we pretty much figured we would not be staying for long for some personal reasons. The manager is very helpful and the security guard were kind also. We had to go places after we checked in, and still got lost turning around coming back even though we used the same driver. Overall a good stay.
