Its walking distance to the Dahomey statue and Heritage Wall. The U.S. embassy is directly across the street and other ministry offices. My only dislike about the franchise of the hotel is their very firm beds.

OK, but restaurant is below expectations

Rooms are fine, and good location. But the major drawback is the restaurant. Quality is fine, but lower than expected for such a hotel. Buffet are fine, but nothing that really makes you willing to go for dinner. A la carte are ok, but takes a long time to arrive. However all personnel are very nice, and always ready to help.

The room was fine. The restaurant was limited in options. The service was poor. The helpers and servants need training in hospitality. They should not look to rush customers and clients to grab their handbags and close doors for them.
