Capital City Hotel with a small town attitude

The hotel lobby was nice, check in & out was fast and you can tell they spend some money on the place, but shame they have no trades/maintenance staff with an eye for detail, as there was exposed wires in the bathroom and a constantly running toilet. I picked this hotel as it offered wifi, but it was practically useless for any internet browsing. The woman at the pool bar tried 3 times to make my wife a local cocktail which tasted bad (because the server thought the cocktail should included lime, when it should have been orange), and to her it was our fault not hers for not liking it. But the most ridiculous thing about the management of the hotel, we reserve the room for 2 people (like hotels in the rest of the world, so they know 2 people need to be accommodated for) when it came to breakfast, only one person was allowed to eat despite having 2 people on the reservation. We were told for each bedroom only one person was entitled to the complimentary breakfast, this site did not state that, and to the rest of the world this is an exception;not the norm, and "This is how we do things in Abuja" sounds like a lame/pathetic excuse to any international traveler. I believe this hotel has a lot of potential, shame it was a number of small things that let it down.
