Boma Inn has a roach problem in its rooms. I reported this to one of the housekeepers but she said it was because there was a restaurant on the first floor. However, Boma Hotel, which is the fancier and newer hotel, also has roaches in its restaurant lounge area. Also, I had an unpleasant experience with one of the restaurant servers (a woman in dark colored/shaded glasses) who expressed displeasure at my request for tea, which I did not know was available for self service. Without telling me this, she grumpily walked away without saying if she would bring tea and finally brought it about 20 minutes later after I realized there was tea for self service. When I apologized to her for requesting tea when I didn't realize I could get it myself, she didn't even acknowledge my apology and again grumpily walked away. My friend, a local Kenyan, had to say something to her in Swahili about her attitude. After which, she turned to me to ask me if she looked angry. I just told her she did not look happy when I requested the tea and then apologized afterwards when I realized it was for self service.

I'd give it 5+
Everything was nice: the food, the room, the grounds, the service. Hotter, what really stood out was the entire Front Desk staff, starting with their manager Sharon. You could tell they love their jobs and she certainly manages them well.

COMPLAINTS & SUGGESTIONS TO IMPROVE
Air condition in the room was very, very poor and thus very warm. Even though it was brought to the notice of the reception staff no attempt was made to rectify. I had given sufficient time of my arrival. Room phone too was out of order. Friendly staff. Fast response by reservation staff. Food is good. Food bills had to be settled immediately after dining. This is not good for an in house guest. In-house guests should be able to pay at check out. Room & facilities should be checked prior to a guest check in.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The hotel grounds were good overall, though the place I stayed (the Inn) seemed considerably less comfortable than the main hotel. I wound up having an OK experience, but when I first checked in, they gave me the key to a room that was completely dirty -- unmade bed, empty food containers, looked like someone was still there or was very recently there -- and that was quite unsettling, especially as it was the middle of the night. So it was difficult to get comfortable after that. Also, check out was at 10:00 AM, a little earlier than most hotels.
