Property is tired and in need up an update. Many things in my room were broken. I am a frequent world traveler and I understand that there will be occasional problems with a hotel room that can be tolerated – especially in a developing nation like Mali. However the number of and severity of problems with the room I was given was unacceptable and far below the standards I expect from a Radisson property.
The common areas are also run down - several lights in the lobby were burned out, light fixtures in the pool were detached from the wall and floating by their wires, wall murals in the restaurant were peeling off the wall, atmosphere music in the restaurant was distorted due to broken speakers, etc., etc.,
Normally I can overlook things, but in a four star Radisson property, these are unacceptable.
A VERY discomforting thing was the smoke detector in my room was covered with a plastic maintenance shield rendering it inoperable. Compromises in safety features is dangerous and intolerable.
For the money, I would recommend staying at the Azalaï Salem or Grand Hotel. Even a stay at the lesser priced/rated Onomo Hotel was better maintained.
