π FROM A DREAM TO 40 YEARS OF EXCELLENCE π
February 15, 1986. That's the day our founder, Mr Otto Andrew Fischer, opened the doors to Stop Over Motels with a simple yet powerful vision: create a transit establishment for travellers in motion. βοΈAfter 10 years with Lufthansa and experience across the hospitality industry, Otto saw a gap in the Lagos Airport area β travellers needed more than just a place to sleep. They needed efficiency, comfort, and reliability during their transit. π¨40 years later, we're still here. πͺ
Through economic shifts, industry changes, and fierce competition, we've remained committed to three core principles:
β
Delivering better service than competitors
β
Maintaining our founding standards of simplicity and cleanliness
β
Courtesy to every single guestMany hotels from our era have come and gone. But Stop Over Motels stands tall β still serving airline crews, distressed passengers, corporate travellers, families, and our wider community with the same dedication Mr Fischer envisioned four decades ago. π
To our guests, partners, suppliers, and supporters: This milestone belongs to YOU. Your loyalty, trust, and patronage have been the foundation of our success. THANK YOU. πβ€οΈHere's to 40 remarkable yearsβ¦ and to an even brighter future ahead! πβ¨
