Fine hotel but small rooms

The hotel was fine. I had assumed all Protea hotels would be the same and having stayed the previous nights in Protea in Warri I was very surprised that my bedroom was quite small. Overall it was fine. Everyone was friendly of course and helpful. This was my third vacation in Benin and it was the best hotel out of the others I had tried.
