I was disappointed the hotel failed to pick me up despite the fact that I had communicated the flight change and cancellation. It is not OK in this day and age with the multiplicity of apps and flight tracking capability for the hotel of that standing to mishandle airport transfer.

This hotel is very conveniently located to all the restaurants we enjoyed. The breakfast buffet offers fresh fruit, veggies, chef made omelettes, a wide assortment of pastries and smoothies. The workout room is sufficient with weights and a few treadmills. The huge pool is warm and very visible on the dining floor. We loved it. I highly recommend this hotel.

We absolutely LOVED this property so much that we cancelled our stay at a different hotel to come back to this one! All of the staff were absolutely incredible. The attention to detail from setting up a surprise in our room for our honeymoon, to remember our names and recommending areas to go. Incredible time.

The staff was professional and welcoming throughout the entire stay, and helped with transportation and other issues and questions I had. The property and room amenities were fine and comfortable. The security around the hotel area was strict but expected since it was near the President's State House. Unfortunately, the only one issue I had was late night noise. from the room above and early morning carts rolling outside the hallway. If I were to stay at the Radisson again, I would definitely ask for a top floor room and for a quieter room. Otherwise, a wonderful hotel overall.

Was offered a room move but we only had 1 night left so stayed put and coped !
