Cleanliness
1
Mixed reports: several guests praised ‘clean and tidy’ rooms and facilities, but multiple specific complaints (unclean cutlery, used/unclean loo on arrival, lack of dish cloths) indicate problems with housekeeping consistency.
Service
1
Mixed service feedback: many mentions of friendly, helpful reception/restaurant staff and specific praise for some employees, but notable failures (very slow response to issues, ignored requests, unresolved breakage deposit and lack of manager follow-up) pull the score down.
Location
1
Generally praised as ideal/exceptional and cited as a positive multiple times; a minority noted it was far from South Beach but overall sentiment favors location.
Room Quality
1
Rooms described as neat, spacious, with good layouts (separate living area, kitchenette) and appreciated by several guests; some issues reported (missing expected couch, aircon not working in one stay) but overall room quality leans positive.
Amenities
1
Mixed amenities feedback: positives include inviting pool, spa and free parking, but practical amenity failures were reported (no wifi/aircon/TV on first day, slow elevator, no dish cloth) indicating inconsistent amenity delivery.
Value for Money
1
Multiple guests explicitly stated the hotel was good value/affordable and recommended it; perceived value is generally positive.
Food and Beverage
1
Not meaningfully discussed in the reviews; no clear positive or negative consensus.
Overall Experience
1
Highly mixed overall impressions: several guests report being very happy or having an amazing experience, while others report stressful incidents (deposit non-return, slow issue resolution). Net overall sentiment balances out.

Clean, modern hotel with most amenities that you could want
Pros:

Clean setup, nice kitchenette with a stovetop and microwave. Very comfy beds, nice modern bathrooms, and safe parking with 24/7 security. Great location except that the road right outside has a lot of cars, so you have to sleep with the windows closed. Awesome gym and pool, plus a conference center that hosts events for the guests.

Cons:

No aircon or fan in the room, and no desk as in the pictures. I wanted to work in the hotel room during my stay but no desk meant I had to work elsewhere. Wi-Fi didn't reach our room so I had to hotspot from my phone.

Cons:

I had to pay an additional R300 when I arrived at the hotel. Checkout is at 10am in the morning. The card becomes faulty when contacted with coins or cellphone…
