Following the economic summit disgrace, can we still call the Transcop Hilton hotel a 5-star hotel?
Only in naija will a 5-star hotel experience power failure for over thirty minutes.

Should this thread be in the Politics section?

Anyways so there was power outage during the summit? Someone please gimme the load down, were the participants sweating? How did the C-in-C react?

@POST

Sheep does not beget Lion. The question would have been “Is Nigeria a 5-Star country”. Nigeria is not a 5-Star country and can not erect a 5-Star hotel. The Transcop Hilton hotel in Abuja is not even a 1-Star hotel.

Not even close! The only thing good about the hotel is the lobby. On the other hand, The Oriental hotel in Lagos is closer to a 5-Star hotel.

Even before the power imbroglio, Transcorp Hilton was never a 5-star, it is apt to say a 5-star hotel with African standard. not world class

Re: Is Transcorp Hilton Really A 5-Star Hotel? (Power Failure For 30 Minutes) by Grassroot: 4:09pm On Nov 11, 2011
in the Nigerian context, it is 5 star hotel since it falls in the highest class of hotels in Nigeria.

Its just like calling someone with 1 million naira worth a millionaire, whereas someone with 200k dollars is not. Different places, different standards.

I've stayed in 5-star hotels outside the country and there isn't much difference from what we have in transcorp. infact, transcorp is way better than some I've been to.
I've also stayed in transcorp for ten straight nights but didnt experience power failure. I can boldly say we have good hotels in Nigeria.

Go to tripadvisor to see what people are saying about Nicon.   There is no  5-star hotel in Nigera. 4-point Sheraton is spin off  of Sheraton group. You are more likely to find a Sheraton Hotel brand that's a 5-star than a 4-point Sheraton.

They should not add the stars to the hotels. they r just ordinary. a shame.
