Well managed with very good food. I appreciated the transparency of Ross, the manager on the times when the generator needed servicing. It is a very challenging time for Zambia but the hotel is still functioning well.

This is a nice place for the money in Lusaka. The only beef I had was their poor communication with us regarding the size of rooms we needed. They set us up on the pool deck, and fortunately we had good weather.
