Ein sehr gutes Hotel mit modernen Zimmern, ideal für einen Zwischenstopp. Frühstück und Abendessen gut. Sichere und ruhi
Pros:

Das Hotel hatte eine gute und sichere Lage und viele Parkplätze. Unser Zimmer war renoviert, damit modern und geräumig/komfortabel und hatte eine angenehme Beleuchtung. Die Dusche war angenehm groß und hatte eine Handbrause, was ich in anderen Unterkünften in Südafrika vermisst habe. Das Personal war überaus freundlich. Und die Lage direkt an der N2 ist sehr gut. Das Frühstück war sehr gut. Besonders die Qualität des Kaffees. Abends konnten wir uns das Buffet anschauen und anschließend entscheiden, ob wir dies nutzen oder à la carte essen möchten. Wir entschieden uns für letzteres. Geschmacklich war es in Ordnung. Thelma war sehr freundlich und brachte uns mit ihrer Art oft zum Lächeln. Danke für den guten Service.

Cons:

Auf einer Bettseite war kein Stromanschluss. Wir waren im Zimmer 123 und es roch abends kurzzeitig nach Zigarette, morgens roch es nach Essen.

Cons:

Dress code restrictions at breakfast made our stay a little uncomfortable when the hostess requested my teenage daughter to go change her clothes as the short skirt she was wearing was not welcomed and was seen as inappropriate. That did not sit well with us as guests.
