Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The staff was professional and welcoming throughout the entire stay, and helped with transportation and other issues and questions I had. The property and room amenities were fine and comfortable. The security around the hotel area was strict but expected since it was near the President's State House. Unfortunately, the only one issue I had was late night noise. from the room above and early morning carts rolling outside the hallway. If I were to stay at the Radisson again, I would definitely ask for a top floor room and for a quieter room. Otherwise, a wonderful hotel overall.

I booked a 2 twin room for me and my adult son with breakfast and paid in advance. We showed the reservation and they still said we had to pay for breakfast and put us in a single bed room. They had to move us to another room, then charged over $50 for breakfast. Very disappointing stay.
