Jurgita

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Super friendly and helpful staff. The property is nice even it is a bit outdated. The downside is that the property is located on the top of the hill and dining options are limited nearby, one has to walk about 15 min downhill to the town center or the beach. However, there are plenty of excellent dining options in a 10 min driving distance. Overall, we liked staying there for the price.

The staff was wonderful. Gave us good tips about the area. The lower level parking should have a sign at the entrance stating “enter in this direction” so it can be a straight in to parking.

Only a few units are accomodations. The majority are private condos. On site little bar and hot b'fast & lunch/snacks served. Nice pool, quiet and not as hectic as Lagos.

My boyfriend and I stayed here and absolutely LOVED it. The room was clean, and spacious, and we had a outdoor deck with a view of the pool. The staff was very helpful, and I loved that there was a bar/cafe. The hotel is about a 10 minute bolt of Lagos city center, but we liked that because it felt more relaxing and less busy. I highly recommend staying here!

Older property. Upgrade on rooms & facility needed(too many keys!😃) but room was spacious! Very clean & comfortable! Love the suite like appeal & outdoor private patio. Staff was wonderful; helpful, kind, & courteous. I‘m a senior & the steps from the parking lot to reception was challenging wth luggage. But staff came & carried down & up the steps otherwise I would not have made it. Enjoyed my short stay.

This hotel was out of town, which I didn't realize. Inconvenient to get to since I didn't have transportation and the walk to get there was on a very busy road. Room itself was musty. When I got into bed, the bedding felt damp. Just wanted to leave.

It was a nice place to stay. We did notice some unusual stains on the blankets in the closet, but we didn’t use them as it wasn’t too cold. But overall it was a nice stay for us.
