Lagos means so many things to different people. Like any other mega city, Lagos could be chaotic, dangerous and expensive, but hey, these descriptions also fit London, New York, Bombay, etc -well at least from the vantage position of a first time visitor.<br />
<br />
We are tired of hearing the loud voices of the Lagos haters telling us what they hate or disliked most about Lagos.<br />

So you stop and ask yourself why a 21st century hotel will not want to have a web presence? Some Nigerian Hotels are beginning to realise the potential of using the internet to boost sales.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A number of these hotels now have their own websites, but they deliberately provided very limited information about their facilities, and in some cases completely remove their hotel prices from their websites! Potential guests are expected to call the hotels first to get this information. Well, thank God for the GSM phones, at least people can now call hotels on their mobile phones -this was not possible some few years ago when mobile phones were status symbols in Nigeria</span><br />

This is because they are already incurring international phone cost even before booking the hotel all in the name of calling first to get hotel details. </span></div></div><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Moreover, Hotels that hide their prices may be hiding more than just prices; perhaps they are hiding more serious details like hidden charges, lack of adequate security for their guests, etc. Some unsuspecting guests may have been committed to them -or shall we say enter into their traps before discovering what this hidden information is,.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Therefore, if you are searching for a good hotel to stay in Lagos, be wary of hotels that do not publish their nightly rates on their websites. Some people argued that not publishing the hotel rate means the hotels do not give ammunitions to their competitors. This is unadulterated nonsense. What stops a competitor from making a probing call pretending to be a guest? </span><br />

<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"> <strong><span style="color: #073763;">G</span><span style="color: #073763;">oodbye To MapNTL.com</span></strong></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">However in 2009 we at Spatial Technologies Ltd (the owner of MapNTL.com ) took a decision to redesign the portal and incorporate all the useful and positive feedback we have received from our numerous users. However we discovered that our old platform and mapserver used to develop MapNTL.com could not support these new innovations coupled with some issues we had with our domain name. We were therefore faced with the inevitable –develop a new portal complete with new branding and identity. This was how the idea leading up to www.LagosLocation.com was conceived</div><br />
<div><strong><span style="color: #073763;"> The Birth Of LagosLocation.com</span></strong> </div>We are therefore excited to announce that we have developed a new portal to implement all our new exciting ideas. LagosLocation.com resonates with our core value of helping people find places in Lagos in a consistent way. With this new site, we are putting the LOCATION back in Lagos, whether it is a trip down the street of Shipeolu in Shomolu or a search for the best restaurant or bank in town. <br />
