Soap and shampoo needed in the shower. The information provided on Expedia indicated that transport could be arranged by contacting the hotel. No contact information was provided. The hotel has no website. After a good bit of hunting I found a phone number which connected me to a non-English speaker. I was not certain of the language abilities of reception. I had to present my I pad to a non-English speaker to get the wifi password. The early morning taxi I requested was managed perfectly.

That said, the room was functional, but not fancy. At many times during the night we were disoriented by the sound of pigeons outside the window.the night we were disturbed by the

The food was great at the restaurant. Great hours, open 7am-10pm. The only thing that would have added to the experience would be to have an ice available. They have an airport shuttle apparently but when we replied that we wanted to book it, they never got back to us. We ended up having to get a taxi from Liberia airport which cost $30USD

BEWARE: This is not a HOTEL This is a very small MOTEL, beyond the Industrial Zone, beyond the outskirts of town. Very Spartan, no hot water in the sink in the room and only hot water out of the very primitive shower in the very primitive "bathroom." The front desk is only open when someone arrives. The tiny restaurant is OK but expensive. The room rate is OUTRAGEOUS on Orbitz! This property should not be on Orbitz! The Immigration officer and the taxi driver both did not believe me that I had a reservation here!!!

Check-in was great, they confirmed it was me and gave me my key, maybe less than 1 minute after the person arrived! Parking is fine, there are spaces in front of the hotel and also across the street they have a lot for the hotel. My room was fine, slight problem with toilet running (which I told them so I presume it's fixed) and this room's suicide shower was ok but not as good as the room I had in my previous stay. Restaurant will definitely work on what you want to eat, friendly. Yes, I would stay there again!

Clean room, quiet, easy by local bus (ask to be let off by Walmart!) and about 8-12 minute walk in quiet neighborhood with lovely indoor patio looking out to street and distant clouded volcano… only complaint is the super heavy towels don’t smell great (likely washed with fabric softener so smell especially bad when damp) but Ive got a very good olfactory so it may not bother you. Good place to prepare to travel or post long flight. I’d stay again
