The staff, surroundings, buffet breakfast excellent. However, the entire bathroom area needs to be redone. I hope because it's Africa the standards of the Holiday Inn is below N. America.

I liked the centralized location. The hotel staff were amazing. The staff upfront Margaret at the reception desk is the epitome of hospitality. Margaret is a dream. I payed for two nights of dinner for two adults. I visited the restaurant the last night i stayed there unfortunately, my experience was ruined by a manager who came up to my table interrupting my experience by demanding that I pull out my phone and rate his restaurant right there in front of him. I didn't comply to his ridiculous request. I thought it was rude.
