Please what is hotel name

[@stellablanney2489]

Wooow!! I quite remember when Mensvic hotel was being put up way back in the late 2000's, I went like waooow!!! very big and I never knew, it's owned by our very own until today. Happy to know this today and kudos to you and your dad.

Smart businessman who has laid the foundation for his family. Great content. Very inspirational for upcoming African entrepreneurs.

[@charliemdem7813]

This man is a true African busineman, smart and resilient. How do I know? It took him 8 years to build his hotel, which means that he did it bit by bit and therefore did not take out any huge loans from anybody. The advantage of that strategy is that you start making money from day 1 because the hotel belong to you 100% and you do not have to use any part of your profits to pay creditors. Just from this hotel, the man is already worth tens of million $. Another thing is his involvement in the business day to day. I know from experience that in Africa, if you are not personally involved in your business, you will only make 60-70% of what you should be making because of extra management fees, losses due to people not always doing the right thing.

[@valdenelucas2349]

Smart indeed..

[@marcbile]

"people not always doing the right thing" is a VERY POLITE way of saying people stealing!! lol lol lol, i know so, bcoz we run a family hotel, and we saw how staff steal!! we did some mystery shopper to catch them!! bloody thieves!!

Yes Ghana lifestyle is very expensive, i don't know why....

[@youkendehunique6317]

@@nabssbeatz6391 Because so many Black Americans are moving there and it's helping the economy in Ghana "The Year of Return" was all a ploy to get money from the diaspora. The average Ghanaian can't afford these prices and they aren't creating jobs for citizens but everything is so expensive African leaders are so corrupt and do a lot for personal gain.

[@lovia88]

I stayed here in december 2018, and I must say, I was very pleased with the service. The people at the front desk were very nice and made our stay there very comfortable. They even gave us a crib fir my 1yr old.

[@gabbiosis]

So this is who owns the hotel?? Thats interesting... i used to go swimming every saturday.. seeing this just brought back memories..

Watching from Sydney Australia

[@LooksByNaheemah]

The hotel is beautiful. A little word of advice would be to change the sign in the front. Let people know how beautiful you he hotel is on the inside. The sign is plain and boring where I think it can benefit from pizzazz

[@janetdickson1130]

Agree, very observation. Entrance inside the Hotel should truly impress the guests for a Hotel of that size.

I would put a restaurant on the rooftop and build a nightclub in there. So that there would still be business going on on the premise during Coronavirus shutdown. And I will definitely lower the price of the rooms to $60 a night. Now most of the rooms are not rented and no money is coming in. It makes no sense to keep these high prices when there is no customers coming in.

TRUE,the rooms are outrageously expensive.A single room for $150!
