Mövenpick Ambassador Hotel Accra"Overpriced and not 5-star standards. The lobby and grounds are impressive, staff are accomodating, wifi is good. But my first room had maintenance issues so I had to change rooms. Sadly, there was a cockroach inside a food tray during the breakfast buffet. Air conditioning isn't reliable. Hotel is overpriced for the quality, unfortunately, I would not stay again."
