Type of property: City hotel.
Location: Lagos, Nigeria.
Facilities: Pool, gym, spa and business/meeting facilities. 5-star worthy.
Complimentary internet: Yes, but a bad system. You have to keep a small piece of paper with you as you need to re-login after some hours. Also, it should be faster. The George has much faster internet.

My overall impression: Great experience.
