Lae City Hotel — Hotel in New Guinea

Amazingly, Lae City Hotel has very spacious rooms compared to bigger hotels, even comparable to hotels in Port Moresby. Good menu selection, although room service hours need extension.

Chauffeuring services for tourists would greatly increase repeat stays and improvements on entertainment facilities for guests increase daily spending.

On a bigger scale though, Lae has greatly changed in terms of infrastructure and is increasingly becoming a tourist attraction, and therefore, much more work is needed to improve conditions for tourists. Road infrastructure and transportation are the biggest challenges that is affecting business opportunities.

From the second I walked in, it was clear the place was a joke. The staff couldn’t care less, moving at a snail’s pace and acting like guests were a burden. My room was a dump: filthy sheets, a broken air conditioner, and a smell that made me gag. The bathroom looked like it hadn’t been cleaned in weeks, with mold in the corners and a shower that barely dribbled lukewarm water. Wi-Fi? Don’t even bother—it never worked, and worst of all, Fortnite wouldn’t even load. That alone ruined half the trip. But the real kicker? My friend Gary got eaten by the hotel’s so-called “pet” crocodile, which they let roam freely like it was a dog or something. If you value your life, avoid this place...
