Yes!!! It's one of the best places I have visited in Nigeria. The rooms are comfortable and the food is great. The waterloo park is the place to be. A fast internet would have perfected my stay there. It is a preferred West African holidays destination though. I just loved the view

Lost in the middle of the green. There is a river on one side, and the famous Tinapa studio on the other side. I loved the quiet and the greenry. The food and the Internet are okay.. and you cannot not sleep well.
