It was pleasant, but it could have been better.
Pros:

The staff are all very friendly and polite.

Cons:

The windows don't close properly - should be replaced.
We were not allowed a microwave in the room - we also were not allowed heating up of our own food.

Never would stay again
Pros:

Location

Cons:

It’s unsanitary. There are birds living at both pools using them as toilets. Everything outside is covered in bird droppings. The room itself was moldy as the bathroom fan doesn’t work and no window in bathroom, so extremely moist and wet surfaces.

Short stay at "a new" hotel
Pros:

Alot of activities on site and in surrounding area. Good location for exploring the garden route with lovely restaurants and little shops.

Cons:

Changed rooms 3x during a 3 night stay. Hotel is old and the rooms needs a proper revamp. Smoke alarm went off twice during our stay, including late at night. No apologies or explanation from hotel staff or management. Communication is poor and need improvement.

Good stop over and rest but really need to cater more halaal or vegetarian
Pros:

This property is our stop over on Garden Route nice to see the revamp . Booking in was amazing staff very friendly and helpful . But need some attention to TV signals and picture quality . Room service was disappointing as room 102 tried to order and was told they couldn’t and that was before 7 pm . We in room 101 got to order but got the wrong stuff instead of toasted cheese got chicken cheese and had a fee of R30 extra plus gave a tip . Only found out the next morning that our guest didn’t have
supper 😪. Would be nice if the restaurant gave a bit more halaal meats / cold meat or know what butcher it come from . We pay the same amount of money for rooms not really fair when you think about it .

Cons:

Always very clean and maintained and pleasant smelling in the air

I loved the location, east of accessibility to the CBD and the general attitude of the employees.
Pros:

Location, Hospitality and the Breakfast was made with love.

Cons:

The Gym and its equipment needs some attention. Couldn’t exercise as they machinery was either not working or not configured properly.
