Example: I booked The George hotel on Hotels.ng and I liked it, ?A night with my friends at Federal Palace hotel,? ?My bridal shower at Radisson Blu Ikeja,? ?My father likes Shoregate and I just found out why,? et al.
When you mention the hotel or the city it is located in, reference  its page on hotels.ng so that readers can see more details about the hotel.
