The rooms are great and reasonably priced. They had a complimentary breakfast, but not buffet style. ( I had spaghetti, eggs, and tea for breakfast.) The environment is kid—and family-friendly. They have a dedicated play area for kids, and their environment is tidy.

Overall, I recommend and would stay here in the event I visit Akure again.”
