“There is a beautiful mountain behind the hotel building. It is serene and very calm for relaxation and gives out that resort vibe which I like. You know coming all the way from Lagos where you have all the huzzle and buzzle, you will want to come and relax and enjoy nature and have fun with your family. And it’s giving everything that is supposed to give and I love it. I cannot wait to explore the premises”.
According to Ademuwagun, she said, “I am coming back with my family because I know that my mum comes to Erinmo. There is a Prayer Mountain at Erinmo where my Mum comes to pray from time to time. And I followed her once when I was little but it was not a good experience. But now, that, I know this place, I will be looking forward to coming back to Erinmo to pray because I know that it will be easier to access and because we have a comfortable place to sleep while we go to the Mountain to pray”.
Also, an Entrepreneur, Mrs. Seyi Gold said the hotel is a nice environment to chill, urging other people to patronize it. “Come with your friends, girlfriends, boyfriends and your family to have a good time”.
