An Amazing Stay, I will be back
Pros:

Walking distance to Sandton City, secure and room service was also fast
We also stayed in the 1 bedroom apartment, the rooms are big and nicest bathroom ever.

Cons:

They do have smart TVs, but you have to come with your own log in details to watch Netflix, Prime etc
