Sobre este Trap
Power cuts and generator noise are common in Owerri, and a room that looks good online can mean a loud night or a dark one. New Owerri is the more upscale area, while central Owerri is closer to restaurants and nightlife but has more traffic. Before you pay a deposit, ask whether the hotel has backup power and request a room away from the main road. Locals suggest booking ahead around December.
