Chair upgrade suggestions

It was great. The only suggestion is to do something with the chair in the room - it's very heavy and extremely loud when being moved. I could hear neighbors from above moving the chair and it always made me jump.

Great hotel in Lusaka

I stayed at the Holiday Inn Lusaka on a 1 night stopover after being on safari. The hotel is great, shuttle service from/to the airport, the rooms a spotless and the bed and shower are "heaven". The dinner and breakfast I had in the dining room were excellent and the customer service and friendliness of all the staff was wonderful. I highly recommend the hotel.
