It's a shame, I remember almost 15 years ago when I was in Harare. I couldn't remember where I stayed so I told a cab driver to take me anywhere, he took me to Monomotapa. It was 4am in the morning, I asked for a room and said "don't ask me why"
Back then it was a 5 star luxury hotel and everything was perfect
