Its a fairly mediocre establishment with basic service and absolutely nothing that distinguishes it from other similar hotels...except the price. I paid £50 for one night, damn! and I did not even get to sleep in the presidential suite!! Still, props to the owner, who I met on the day. Good luck to him.

True democracy, sir, could NOT exist WITHOUT a healthy free speech component. That others HAVE... "argument or criticism" AND... are able to speak up freely, is a good thing!! Personally, I'll be LESS attracted to a hotel named, HOTEL OBAMA (everything else being equal) AND, I find it rather shocking that one reporter would mention that he thinks this is 'the place to be' because the building... "is fitted with air-conditioning, wireless Internet connection, and cable TV" Are there really HOTELS in Accra today WITHOUT such basics? *M.A. Appiah*

True democracy means that if you don't like the name, HOTEL OBAMA, you can patronize another hotel, or better yet, build your own hotel and call it whever you like.

Whats wrong with the good gesture of this entrepreneur. There are soo many things named after people and places like "Thomas Sankara road" , Du Bios center etc. Rather than criticise, lets keep an open mind and spent time to do other creative things. If you disagree with Mr Owusu then build your own hotel and name it whatever name you wish.Its about time we stopped dragging people back. Someome is got to say it and I SAID.
