I've stayed in this hotel a number of times, and I've always been OK with it. Maybe I've never stayed in a "classic" room before, because the room was absurdly small. It started badly. I struggled to book an airport pickup because I made the mistake of traveling over the weekend, and they required me to send in a full flight itinerary. Unfortunately, the email I sent it to was the reservations email, and they had closed for the weekend. Eventually, I asked a friend in Lusaka to intervene, and they agreed to pick me up. The driver, a local taxi, showed up 30 minutes late driving an old beat up vehicle that normally would cost $10 from the airport. The hotel charged me $40 for the privilege. Then the room - Let me paint a picture of how small the room is - neither my sportcoat nor my shirts could fit into the closet. There was no place to keep my clothes other than in my suitcase. The bathroom was so tiny, there was no hook to hang a towel. The "desk" was just barely deep enough to accommodate a 13" laptop. For someone transiting through, maybe staying for 6-8 hours, or even a single night, this might be ok. But as I was meant to stay a week, this was impossible. I didn't give this hotel one star because the hotel staff was so nice and pleasant. Nonetheless, I checked out the next morning for a hotel with more space. I'll remain loyal to IHG, but skip this hotel.
