Right by the beach and close to airport (5 km)
Pros:

It was a perfect place to stay as far as location. The staff was wonderful. They even had a plug for me to use so I could use my US outlets because the one I brought din't work. The staff was very helpful with luggage and any information! Very caring! Small room. Clean! Ocean so close, but not safe to walk there. No wash clothes or tissue.

Ironman
Pros:

Perfect place to stay when competing in the Iron Man championships.

It was right across the street from the race start and both transitions. They even opened up the buffet breakfast at 4 AM to accommodate the racers and their.

The spa wasn’t very nice and the restaurant was pretty good

Terrible service!
Pros:

I am writing to express my deep concern and disappointment regarding a charge made to my account for a booking at your hotel, which I neither made nor stayed for.

In early December, I received a call requesting payment for what I understood to be the outstanding balance at the Southern Sun, where I had stayed. However, it has since come to my attention that the payment of R4000+ was processed for your hotel instead. I never booked, confirmed, or stayed at your establishment, and I am extremely perplexed as to how the exact balance from my Southern Sun stay was used to facilitate this charge.

This situation has caused significant inconvenience, and I respectfully request a full refund of R4000+ as soon as possible. Please investigate this matter urgently and provide an explanation for how this error occurred.

I look forward to your prompt response and resolution.

Unfriendly dirty place
Pros:

Only good things about this facility is the location and breakfast.
It is very rare for me to feel so unwelcome as in this place. From the check in to check out, front desk staff are just rude and arrogant. Feel sorry for them to work in such negative environment. This is the only City-lodge affiliated place I have stayed in who has so little to give.
Rooms are DIRTY, carpets smell rotten when water from the aircon comes out, toilet smells like a public pissoir. Cleaning and servicing leaves a lot to be desired.

Even for a 2 star facility this is under par, I was indeed happy to leave!
Management should be ashamed of themselves!

I spent 2 days at Road Lodge, Summerstrand, PE. Their service was excellent. The staff Shanle (chef), Wonga, Charlie and Keep it
Pros:

The room was very good, the staff I met - Wonga Charlie, Oyama and Shanel (chef) were very professional, polite and caring.

The food - the breakfast was super.(I only ate breakfast), I have never eaten such nice scones anywhere not even at Woolies. I enjoyed my breakfast looking at the beach. Itwas nice.
Even the location is very ideal - walking distance to Broadwalk Mall
