A very positive experience, despite the one or two oopsies!
Pros:

Receptionist was extremely friendly and helpful. The technical team assisted with getting my wifi connected. Everyone in die restaurant were very friendly. The team that cleaned up the flooded bathroom and lounge was friendly and efficient.

Cons:

The shower trap was blocked - which resulted in a flooded bathroom and lounge. No DStv - thus no Supersport, therefore missed the Springbok game!

Extremely well priced, amazing location, clean, friendly staff, great views!
Pros:

Room was exceptionally Clean. Staff extremely friendly. Location is amazing, Stunning views, Secure Parking. They are also busy upgrading all the bathrooms to keep the place looking amazing.

Cons:

Because the place was not very full - off season - one did not get the full buffet breakfast experience - very little options and bacon etc was dry and looks like they only put out the bare minimum.

Breakfast fit for prisoners.
Pros:

I genuinely struggle to understand how this breakfast offering is considered acceptable for a hotel.

As a returning guest, this was one of the most disappointing dining experiences I've had in a long time. There is a complete absence of care, pride, and attention to detail. Most of the food looked as though it had been prepared purely to fill trays rather than to be enjoyed by paying guests.

The environment itself was equally concerning. Flies around the food area, staff congregating and chatting over guests' meals, and an overall sense of disorder made the experience extremely unpleasant. Professionalism appeared to be completely absent.

The quality of the breakfast was poor across the board. The only item worth eating was the bread and butter, which, ironically, wasn't even made in-house. Everything else was bland, uninspired and felt more like a school cafeteria than a hotel breakfast service.

I see they are very defensive and do not accept any faults inbtheir previous responses. Which shows, no hope at all. The breakfast is disgusting and I'll be sure to video next time.

Compare it to protea hotel breakfast and tell me....same level? Nope, just low grade food. Even for an American, this is disgusting.
